This One's For the Girls

Kristen Breitweiser Fri Feb 29, 5:32 PM ET

Let's face it, somewhere deep down inside, even Michelle Obama believes that in a more perfect world she would be the Obama running for President.

………

We've all witnessed Michelle's facial expressions when she observes Barack. Eyes rolling. And we've all heard Michelle speak about Barack when she delivers one of her un-edited backhanded comments about him. It's like she can't help herself. She knows she is better. Heck, even standing next to Barack, Michelle makes a more commanding presence by appearing stronger, more engaged, and more aware. In Team Obama, Barack's the cheerleader, while Michelle's the quarterback.

Michelle knows the same simple truth that all women know: when it comes to getting work done and cleaning up messes, women are better than men.

This is part of the reason of why Hillary Clinton is the better candidate in '08. Aside from the fact that she has more experience; she is a woman. It's time we recognize what a strength that is in a Commander in Chief.

Hillary is smarter, more capable, a harder worker, better multi-tasker, and most importantly, tougher than Barack.

Let's employ the "foxhole rule." Imagine yourself in the heat of war. Bombs dropping everywhere. You're dug in. You've got limited ammo. All hell is breaking loose. Who would you rather have getting your back? Barack or Hillary?

Hands down, I would personally choose Hillary because she would fight to the death. She would get the job done. She is one tough, smart cookie. In essence it's the difference between "can" and "will."

Sure, we all can do anything -- this is after all America. But what "will" we do -- that's what matters most. (Barack's "Yes We Can" mantra annoys me because it's too passive. I don't want to know what you can do. I want to know what you will do, dammit!)


Hillary is a will-do person not a can-do person.
……………….
Every woman has some degree of experience with men -- their husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers, colleagues, etc. And collectively we all know the truth: women are better. We are better at getting work done. We are better at cleaning up messes. We are tougher and more tireless. We are smart and strategic. And that is why we should all be supporting Hillary because, (sorry boys) now more than ever this one should be for the girls.

If its good enough for Yahoo! and Huffington Post, and for a hero of Dems for 9-11, its good enough for DU.

1. Was there a reason given for the locking? Just 'cause it was long?

Sometimes I don't get the reasoning of the mods for locking certain threads...and then waiting a long time to lock others.

[rodeodance]

5. I posted the reason-it was

flamebaited out.

Note that some said it was sexist--

[libbygurl]

6. Sexist, schmexist. Just 'cause it doesn't exude adoration of St. O,

...is all it's about with his vile supporters. That was a more playful piece to me.

[feminazi]

2. OMG, Rodeo

Some of the Obama supporter's comments were hilarious. I especially liked the one from the poster (a woman I believe) who thought Ashley Montague was a female.

Gee, you got them all bent out of shape. They can't see that Kristin was writing tongue-in-cheek.


You sexist pig!
:sarcasm:

[libbygurl]

3. Yeah, the light tone of the piece was totally lost on a lot of them.

Poor Ashley Montague - they did a posthumous sex change on the man.

[rodeodance]

4. first they got me got me ticked off-as i went i

just thought they were no brainers.

i did not know it had been locked till the second one was posted and a Hillary supporter said it was.
dammmmmmmm
