Joan
You just can't help but slam Obama at every possible opportunity can you? Is being so close top power intoxicating for you? Do you and Hillary hang out? Is this why you have destroyed the credibility of Salon by blatantly supporting her?
Hillary is bland, boring and is running for President ONLY because she was married to one (the antithesis of what feminism is about) lies about braving sniper fire but ... she is a WOMAN.
Would you have Salon return to being a first rate magazine if Obama got a sex change operation?
Think of it. You could have a brilliant, inspiring leader who was also a WOMAN. Then women everywhere could go wild in the streets... WE HAVE A WOMAN PRESIDENT. WE HAVE A WOMAN PRESIDENT.
Yes, its sad. Do we elect a boring leader who lies about being brave, but who is a WOMAN or do we elect a brilliant inspiring leader but who isn't a woman?
One of the letters to Salon says it all: "We women are not going to let this nomination be stolen from Hillary:" We girls are all together on this.
Identity politics is for small minded people. I would vote for a purple toad frog if it was best for the country. That so many women (not all, thank God) would support Hillary simply because she is a woman is beyond the pale.
