Is it just that Clinton is a woman?


Our choice is a woman or an african-american. Either way history will be made. Now many people are saying that America is ready for a woman president, as well as a black president. And many people will vote for Clinton because she is female and many will vote for Obama because he is black.

The Office of the President of the United States of America is a sacred thing in this country. It transcends celebrity, and icon. The person who holds that Office will be faced with all the intense, complex, sophisticated problems facing the world and mankind. Whoever holds that Office will have the power to influence the direction of the whole world. Every past President has etched out the pages of history for their time. Their personality and persona are manifested in our daily lives. The duty and responsibility of the Office requires that all voters of our free democratic society take their role in choosing the future Office holder very seriously.

Our choice is clear. The decision should not be about woman or man, african-american or white. The decision should be about who will step into that Office on day one and do the work of the People. It's a job for the one person who more than any of the other candidates feels a deep patriotism to serve the will of the People. We need a President who will hold the Voice of the People in one hand and the Constitution in the other and move the country together and move it forward.

I am voting for Senator Obama. Not because he is black, but because he is that person who can best move our dear country forward and change the failed policies and ways of Washington.
