I am a 53-year-old white woman who lived in D.C. during both terms of the Clinton administration. I now live in Manhattan. I voted for Bill twice, and I supported Hillary's candidacy for the senate. And yes, I marched in streets for women's rights.
I whole-heartedly support Barack Obama for president, not because of any endorsements but because of who he is and what he believes.
We could debate forever the issue of which male politician, Bill Clinton or Teddy Kennedy, has done more for women over the years, but in the end the truth is that nothing could matter less. I see Barack Obama and Michelle Obama together and I know that this is a man who not only likes, but respects women. The same can never be said for Bill Clinton, no matter what one might think about him as a politician and president.
His downright nasty campaigning on his wife's behalf smacks of guilt, penance, and his personal need to redeem himself. Once again, it's about Bill.
The Clintons always do whatever it takes to win and try to fix it later. And in my opinion, that is exactly how Bill behaves when it comes to women. Teddy Kennedy is no saint, and neither was his brother. The difference is that Hillary Clinton is married to Bill, and has allowed him to humiliate her again and again. There is something profoundly disturbing about how she has either simply stood by, or perhaps even encouraged, his most recent bad behavior.
I don't want Billary in the White House. I don't want to go back there. I want to move forward with Barack Obama.
