Think Big Picture
By: Veritas

Senator Obama gave a brilliant speech this week on the pervasive effects of racism in America. It was certainly profound and an important step towards developing a dialogue on one of the many serious issues confronting us in this country.

The press seems to have no intent of allowing another, and in my opinion, broader and urgent issue which effects millions, perhaps billions, of people globally to be addressed; women’s rights. I feel the need to reach out to my friends in order to shine a light.

For those who support Senator Obama, I ask only that you read this and consider the substance of Hillary Clinton, the woman who will “do anything to be President.” Although this phrase is used as a weapon meant to attack, it is based on partial truth. Hillary Clinton will do just about anything, but I believe it is mainly in an effort to fulfill her life’s work on basic human rights. From her formation of a baby sitting brigade at age 14 to go into inner city Chicago to care for immigrant worker’s children to her Vital Voices initiative for women in third world countries, the passion and dedication she has shone is undeniable but minimized by her opponents and the press. Women are being sexually, emotionally and physically abused every day in this country and around the world. Where is the outrage? If not Hillary, what women will ever be good enough?
