With the defeat of Hillary Clinton, one thing has become quite coherent that Americans are not yet prepared to offer the highest post to women. However, they call themselves as one of the most liberal countries of the world! They also show that they are the only country, which is fighting for the cause of women and their rights and insisting other countries, especially Arab world to promote women and offer them high post.

What do you think?

I liked very much the views of an expert....you can also read his views

 

Shobhnasingh, Hillary actually is ahead in the popular vote while two states are being carved in half essentially not being counted....two states that Hillary won easily. Furthermore, she continues to lead Presidential polls against John McCain who if you have not noticed, is a man.

Finally, is this not the catch all net of liberalism. Should Hillary have won, the question would have been "Do Americans not like a Black President". The age old and used up darned if we do, darned if we don't.

Yer yanking fire alarms when there ain't no fire. That's uncool.

I was at JC Penneys yesterday, and passing the little girls section I saw two displays with underwear/panties with lace, bright colors... the works. It looked like a Candies ad, for little girls. Sometimes I think this country takes the freedom women have a bit too far. Little girls don't understand that wearing that underwear makes them sexy, they just look at it as fun and trying to be like the girls they want to emulate on TV, in their neighborhood, older sisters, etc. But, it's not as if there is a grand leader teaching anyone how to treat women, or teaching women how to be proper ladies. With freedom comes greed and flawed values over mass communication. Hillary makes a great example for how women should behave, and how they can be strong and capable. Her flaws were pretty impressive as well.

People voted for her and she won 9 of the last 15 primaries... even WHEN for the last 15 primaries people we being told IT OVER!!

Hillary's a woman?

Wait, wait, wait...

Amreica, probably one of the more racially divided nation on the planet (except for maybe South Africa and France) just elected a black guy for president over a white woman... and it happened cause we're sexist? Hillary Clinton was the media-crowned nominy 5 months ago when this whole damn thing started and Obama comes from behind, takes a decisive lead and keeps that lead until now... but it only happened cause she was a woman?

That's ridiculous.

It was between a black man and a white woman. If Hillary got the nomination the country would be racist... and if Obama gets the nomination the country is sexist?

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.



Only ONE person can sit in the chair, shobhnasingh.

I actually agree. Gore or Edwards would be perfect for Obama. One clueless moron and another for Vice Pres.

Are any of those who are commenting women? Though I don't know for sure, I suspect not.  Reality check. Sexism and racism
in the U.S. remain though there are very important changes that have taken place during the 20th Century. 

As a woman, nothing would please me more to see a woman not only run for president, but also be able to see her elected and inaugurated. For me, for a myriad of reasons Senator Clinton was not a woman I would chose nor did I vote for her in the CA primary which is not an open primary.  As a registered Democrat, I chose to vote for another candidate. In fact because of an extremely early endorsement of Clinton by a PAC, Emily's List, I have contributed to for years, I did not contribute as I typically would have and as a member of the National Organization For Women's PAC also endorsed her very early, I did not pay my membership dues this year for the first time since the 1970s when the organization began.

I firmly believe at some future date a woman will serve as POTUS. For me Clinton was not that woman nor IMHO is there one
with the appropriated qualifications who also shares my beliefs waiting in the wings. My choice had nothing to do with gender,
but a combination of a variety of factors. Her legislative history IMHO is lacking and her vote to provide an authorization of
force for an attack on Iran, without consultation with Congress, easily used by the current Administration sealed the deal for me.
