That's right. Nothing. Zlitch. Nada. Goose-egg. I've seen a lot of talk on this blog and others about how we need to vote for Hillary because she's a woman and we need to make history. I've also seen a lot of talk about how Obama will make history as the first African-American president. I've even seen some shallow people say we need to vote for Edwards because Americans not ready for either a woman or a black man.
But let me tell you this MyDD. I am a die-hard Obama supporter. I half-white and half-Latino. I am a male. And I do not care one iota about Barack's race or Hillary's gender or Mitt's religion. I care about one thing...who will be the best president of the United States. That answer for me is Barack Obama, and I'd be supporting him if was white, black, Asian, Latino, a man, a woman, gay or straight. The best way to make history is not to simply elect someone because they look differently. The best way to make history is to elect someone who ACTS differently. If people honestly feel that Hillary would make a better president and will cruise to victory in November then please, cast your vote for her. I welcome the debate.
I've been working for Obama for almost a year now, and I've met more people involved in this campaign than I ever though I'd meet in a lifetime. And you know what? Not a single one of them as EVER said "Won't it be great to have a black president?!" What I have heard is "Won't it be great to have a president who cares helping kids pay for college. Won't it be great to have a president who can restore our reputation around the world. Won't be great to have a president who will yes fight Republicans tooth and nail but won't denigrate the other side and restore CIVILITY to Washington. Won't it be great to have a president who can speak in complete sentences!"
I'm not voting for Obama because he's black or male. I'm not voting against Hillary because she's white or a woman. I'm voting for Obama for one reason...he would make a better President.
