Comment in question 11-01-2008 10:03 Is Hillary really a Man? Is Hillary really a man? Not say I don't see her womenly ways, because she looks really good to be 60. But until the mini break-down, where she "found her voice", she has done everything she could to be viewed as a man. Throughout her 35 years of experience she has developed and positioned herself to be on equal playing field with the men who have run this country for centuries. Tough, do-or-die fighter, commander, and smart, able to debate and stand up with her own opinion and let nobody tell your wrong. What does this all mean? Well, if you notice after the "almost" crying moment, she jumped back into fight mode, sighting how she is right and others are wrong and she knows what to do and others don't. She has, through her development, become equal to those men of the past, which is not necessarily a good thing for a country that wants change. Because in her heart-of-hearts, her experience and understanding of everything government and everything she strived to be is "status-quo." Normally, any other year would do far better to have her in the WH than many of the goofballs that have been elected or who are running this year. However, this year she has come up against someone that too has struggled to be on equal footing in this difficult American society- Barack Obama. The difference is there is normally not questions of AA being tough enough (atleast not the men), but smart enough and commitment. So he developed, through experience, the smart enough side. Inteligent, energetic (not lazy), and articulate. But he also had another barrier that help to develop him- his white mother. Many times, AA of mixed heritage find it difficult to fit in, with those from none mixed homes. So they tend to focus on things that speak to the dedication of his "blackness." He probably didn't figure this out until going to Harvard, where the AA count is so small, that they notice race more. Which I'm sure prompted him to not take the highend law firm job, but the community job in the most urban or urban Chicago. What does this all mean? Well, if you ever hear Barack speak, he speaks of inclusion. Something he always wanted with his AA community connection/heritage and hte love for his white mother and family on that side. He sees himself as a peacemaker, but he's quick to try and show how smart he is. He's analytical, almost to a fault during debates, because he wants to explain everything and say it the right way. In his heart-of-hearts he will always try to be this, which in this year would be good for the country. Totally different then the "status quo." Guest |
