America has a tradition of electing presidents they see as a relatable and ordinary person. Foolishness if I've ever saw it.
What really creeped me out was how much people ware celebrating when he won the election for president. People acted like he was going to end all racism.I'm still not sure if I should had laughed or cried that black voters thought Obama was going to be there man on the inside as I meant anything other than him running a successful campaign.

... And just a few years later, people are thinking that a woman president is going to be all about "feminism.' Hah!
Do these people know Hillary Clinton at all? She's all about consolidating business and promoting war.
You may get a little feminism in there to hold up to the propaganda (just as Obama finally reduced -- REDUCED not eliminated -- the crack-cocaine ratio), but you will NOT get a rush of women's rights legislation or anything that you may consider worse.
