Women have been fighting for decades to prove they have what it takes to make decisions and policies that govern our country and for decades men have done whatever is necessary to prevent that from happening. How disgusting is it that the most powerful country in the world is almost the LAST country to have a woman leading it. Where there is a man, there is usually a WOMAN beside him--his mother, his sister, his wife--holding his hand and stroking his ego, all the while running his household, raising his children, and in many instances, bringing home a second paycheck.
Hilary Clinton would not have been my first choice to prove what a woman can do as president, but she IS the most qualified and experienced Democratic candidate. She has proven she has what it takes to stay in the political ring and take all of the jabs and punches from her male opponents. If that doesn't warrant respect, then I am extremely disappointed in the caliber of people--young and old, males and females--who continue to deride Hilary Clinton as a b _ _ ch. If she were a man, she would be called a strong leader.
In any event, I will NOT vote for Obama for president even if he gets the Democratic nomination. While I recognize his intelligence and oratory skills, Obama is a black version of George Bush--a phenomon that is riding a wave into the White House. The Chosen One--the first black candidate--who has surrounded himself with political hacks and BIG MONEY who are pulling his strings. Even if he had more experience, I truly believe the country is NOT ready for a black president.
