Four more years
I really do hope Barack Obama is president for another fours years (and will do everything I can to help make it happen) but I couldn’t help thinking about one thing:
How cool is it going to be when the person in front of that podium is a woman? A woman, standing up with what will probably be two men behind her and in front of a room full of more mostly (white) men in front of her, maybe in a dress, maybe a pants-suit, definitely wearing pearls, talking about where she’s going to take this country. I get a little worked up just imagining it. I talk to people about how seeing a black man take the oath of office or giving a victory speech truly changed the way they see their race in this country. When a woman finally does the same, hopefully in my lifetime, I can only imagine how that will feel.
This country has come a long way, but we have so much still left to do.
