I for one am ready for a woman president. There are many woman in this country that would make a good one besides Hillary or Sara!! We "Men" have f...ed it up long enough.

No I dont think there will be as much emphasis. I am glad Obama got elected but I am rather sick of the publicity and to be honest, I know the blacks are happy but its really rather laughable at how emotional they are getting. The black community thinks he will do them some good as far as pushing for programs but this wont be the case and further more he isnt full black. His mother is white and his father isnt even of african decent. The whole thing is laughable. Maybe you can't relate because you're not black. I haven't heard that they are hoping about more programs for them. I think the fact that he was elected will inspire young blcks so much, hopefully special progams will no longer be needed. |

I think America is ready for a woman president, but I'm glad it wasn't Hillary Clinton.
I think we would celebrate, but not as much as black America, because though woman have suffered in the past, they didn't suffer as much as blacks. Many people are still alive that personally knew blacks that died trying to get rights we take for granted today. Ask a black woman older than 50 what challeged her more, her sex or her race. I suspect the great majority would say race. |

That's an excellent program and the government doesn't pay for it. Some of the graduates of that program: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Alexis Herman, former U.S. Secretary of Labor; movie director Spike Lee; actor Samuel L. Jackson; General Chappie James, the U.S. Air Force’s first black four-star general; and Dr. David Satcher, a former U.S. Surgeon General and director of the Centers for Disease Control. These people may have never gone to college if there was not such a program. |

A woman maybe but if she's a lesbian break out the champagne cause then we can celebrate some tolerance!! Now that even cracks 'me' up. It would never be tolerated right from the start. Nice thought, but I highly doubt it, we as a society are not evolved enough for that, unless the religious right disappears over night. And that is much more less likely. lmao |

yes I believe it would just be a different kind of history, but just as big.

american culture just isn't ready for it yet... someday maybe When you said that, Monkey, I had to check out your profile and by what type of woman you prefer I am very suprised by your answer. I think our country is more than ready for it, just as they have shown they were ready for a black man. Maybe your right, but that would be sad. |

Ok, here goes. IMO His father is a black African, his wife is Black, his children are Black. He is proud of his Black heritage and so am I. The significance is not that he is "black", it's that the ceiling has been broken. No longer will we blindly listen to a bunch of old white men who only have their own best interest at heart! The "game" is over if we, the American people, pay attention and insist that this wasteful, frivolous, behavior we have ignored for far too long ends. Loss of power is so hard to take. I agree... |

I think there might have been alot more Political Infighting. You know a Scandal launched during the inagural to sort of spoil things. That type of thing. Hilary has alot more Political Baggage than Barrack. He is squeeky clean for the most part.
I think if Hilary was in, you would have heard alot more from the Conservative Pundits of the media, You know Limbaugh,O'Riley, Hannity, etc. No, I dont think she would have gotten the Send-off that Barrack got. |

What? you think you will hear less from Limbaugh and Oriley and Hannity because Obama is in? wow, I want to see that happen. LOL Personally I think Clinton would have been a good president, but those who hate her would hound her to no end, I am sure, or course that seems to be what your saying about her. |

Yes exactly, well for once there wasnt alot of negative banter about Obama from the major Pundits. There might be yet, but not yesterday. |

You know I was thinking about it and though I am very aware of the suffering blacks have endured, I am not sure that women have endured 'less' over time. Unless of course we are going by count, which I don't think we are.
Both black and white women have taken some pretty bad beatings and have been hung for supposed witchcraft etc. Maybe blacks would see that differently but I am not sure they would if they know history around the world and what women have also endured. |

I was thinking of US history current enough to bring out the emotions of the witnesses to this election & inauguration. There were people in the crowd yesterday that had actually experienced the beatings & witnessed lynchings of blacks in this country. Worldwide back through all of civilization,maybe females as a group have suffered more, but in the US I think blacks have. |
