Clinton

Write now Article Tools

If Hillary Clinton won the presidency, her victory would forever eliminate the "weaker sex" stereotype. Females are over 50% of the world's population. Countries around the world have women leading them. Before her assassination, Pakistan trusted Benazir Bhutto as prime minister. Great Britain elected Margaret Thatcher to push them through the 70s, 80s and 90s. Indira Gandhi was one of India's most revered statespeople. America projected herself as being the "most modern country in the world". However, our political decisions are based on racism and sexism.

Sen. Clinton's campaign came about 80 years after Susan B. Anthony. When women earned their right to decide America's president, prohibition just ended and Al Capone ruled Chicago with bullets and not ballots. She has a definite plan about foreign policy. The United States must have Middle East friends, and no Middle East enemies. The Iraq situation has to end. Too many families have loved ones serving overseas. We have to focus on eradicating our domestic problem and leave other countries to resolve their own issues.

African-Americans received their voting rights in 1964. Using that fact, I believed women deserve their first opportunity to run our country.

I voted for Barack Obama because he preached change. Unfortunately, I'm scared for his personal safety. There are websites making overtures to having him killed. Racists are demanding the addresses of his mother, grandmother and his wife's side of the family. Plus, Senator John "blow them up" McClain won the Republican nomination. His platform was pro-Bush and pro-military all the time. In the 1960s, social conscientious leaders got discredited, threatened, imprisoned, exiled or killed. Promoting war made America billions of dollars. The federal government spent billions holding on to Iraq. A strong, domestic economy won't save us from a recession. Democrats and Republicans aren't backing a black president in office, even if public voted for him. Our government is running us. If casual Americans want real change, either with Clinton or Obama, we have to remove the "Old Boy Network" first.
