All Good Things...

I was saddened by the news that my choice for Democratic Presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, was forced out of the race. I have always admired Hillary for her smarts and her ambition and her willingness to put herself in the line of media fire and not back away. She was the first First Lady of my generation to have a brain and an opinion and that is something to be admired. 

I was hoping to witness history and to watch a woman take over role as President of the United States, God knows we have been watching man after man make poor decisions in the name of our country, it was about time to see what a woman could do, in my opinion, she couldn't do much worst. At the same time, I look towards the future and I remain positive. The idea of a woman even getting this far in the race says something. The fact that Hillary only lost by a handful of delegates says something. It says that this country is ready for a change. 

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but do take notice that the media had an obvious "darling" in this race. Unfortunately, Hillary was painted as a desperate female who didn't know when to let go. One of Obama's aide's went so far to compare Hillary to the doomed Alex Forrester in "Fatal Attraction". If that's not sexism, I don't know what is. There are times when, as a woman, I think we have come so far and when I read comments like that, I realize we still have even more of a ways to go. 

I still cling to hope that there will be an Obama/Clinton ticket and there can be a bridge drawn between both candidates. If not, I am getting my stickers ready for Chelsea Clinton 2028!
