I’m not political in the least. The majority of the time I don’t know what’s going on in Congress or who has the House majority. Politics aren’t my thing. However, I vote and I pay attention to the campaigns of the Presidential hopefuls.
I don’t like Hillary Clinton. I don’t think she belongs in the White House anymore than she should be a role model for todays female population. Others disagree and that’s fine by me. Sure, a woman in the White House would be great. Just not that woman.
So who am I completely behind?
Obama, my friends, Obama.
As I was reading this article this morning I realized that his wife is part of the reason I have chosen to support him. On his own he’s brilliant- honest and genuine, sexy and charismatic, a man with a vision for our country. He’s not perfect but damn the man has kept his nose clean. Extraordinary considering that he’s already written and sold a “tell all” book, which has just made people dig harder for dirt on him. They’ve come up empty handed and I love it.
My only hope is that women voters will step forward and make their voices heard. I hope that they will see beyond the woman in the White House campaign of Hillary Clinton. The time for cashing in on our gender is long past. Our country is in dire need of a President who will get the job done and done well for the American people, for our children and grandchildren.
Hello Sweetheart,
Obama has energized the Democratic party unlike any other candidate in generation. Bill Clinton may be the standard bearer, but Obama harkens back to the days of JFK & RFK, when the politics of the day litterally could mean the difference between life and death;(Communism, Cold War, Vietnam War, Civil Rights). Obama is an exciting candidate. Whether or not that can translate into being elected is something else, unfortunately. My husband and I went to a rally at Brown University last fall and I’ll tell you that the audience was all about Obama, Obama, Obama.
I like Hillary because I respect what she’s accomplished, but she’s also extremely polarizing kind of like me!
It should be interesting to see what happens once we get past primary season. If she’s the party nominee I’ll likely vote for her, but I can’t say right now whether or not I’ll vote for her in the primary. I haven’t made up my mind yet.
It’s also great to hear that you vote! Far too many women aren’t engaged in the political process. We need to recognize just how powerful our voices really are. Then, we’ll start making a difference.
xoxo,
