You know what… I really wanted Hillary to win so we could have a woman president for the first time. I think that would have been long overdue and could have gone a long way. Instead I was surprised at how Obama came out of nowhere and beat her fair and square. Instead we have a first black president which is just as great. When I listen to him I am amazed at how good of a politician he is, the words just flow.
What I think is wrong is that Palin was picked to run for vice president because she is a woman, regardless of her ignorance and lack of skills. That’s a shame because that was picking a woman for the wrong reasons instead of the right ones. She really made women look bad by going up there and showing the world how ignorant and how much of a shoppaholic she is. She played into the stereotype.
I hope next time we can have a woman president or vice president but for the right reasons because they deserve to be there. I also hope that Obama proves to the world that a man of color can perform just as well as a white boy from Arkansas or better.
