Women always come in Second

Someone had to say it.
But that being said, I heartily congratulate Obama's win. He does represent the least of us which is the most (majority) of us.
I believe it is time for the empowerment of those of us who have been oppressed, suppressed and bullied our WHOLE lives.
Obama is a Win Win in so many ways!
Now we need to protect and really respect each other so that we make it to the Oval Office.
I have often said that without real equality of all people nothing will ever change. Getting Obama (or HRC) into the White House will be a Big Historical Step in making equality a reality, finally.
The rise of the least of us (which is the most of us) in the political arena will be difficult to maintain if we continue to attack each other with demeaning slurs, and they've only just begun. Once the Republicans factor into the picture, after November, we will be in the fight of my lifetime and yours. You ain't seen nothing yet.
We've seen in the past how the good, JFK, MLK, have been quieted. This is where my PROTECT concern comes into play. We need to rise above the race baiting, the slurs and the threats that will come, I believe, from beyond the Democrat tent. Yes, even more than what we've already seen.
I suggest ignoring the ignorant hateful diaries that will flow on to this site and not encouraging them by responding with more negativity.
As excited as I am with the rise of Obama and the wondrous possibilities and all the doors that will be unpadlocked, it also worries me.
So Women we know our job- nurturing and caring for our men, standing strongly beside them when they are doing good. Let's get in that White House one way or the other!
