The run for the White House between the two leading Democratic candidates is 'not all that' the media makes us to believe.
True one is "black" and the other is a "woman," but what else? Are we smitten by this dream to have the first "black" or the first "woman" at the helm of this country that we forget that the job itself is not for everyone. There is an attitude of entitlement by some to see either a Obama or Clinton Presidency become a reality that all sense of "common sense" is lost.
Obama's claim to fame is his "blackness," while Clinton's ride is based on the past with her husband's term in office. Neither of these claim should be the ticket to the White House. Obama is mesmorizing us with "CHANGE," while Clinton seems to think we can turn back to the "90s." Why does Obama think that we all want "Change." Any change that may come as a result of a Obama White House will most likely leave the American people with less change in their pockets. A Clinton White House will expose the American public once again with the "experience" of big government and special interest groups.
Being black or female is not an entitlement to the Office of the U.S. President. While historical as it may be to be the first black or woman in the White House, it does NOT signify qualification to be the U.S. President.
The irony is that the Republican Party does not offer a better alternative. John McCain has no executive experience neither does he represent principles of conservatism that will elevate this country for the better.
For me, I may have to close my eyes at the voting booth and pray that I select the lesser of both evils.
