Telling my girl she can be president
I made a point last night of looking my daughter in the eyes and telling her “you too can become president of the United States.” I then went on to explain to her the significance of Hillary Clinton becoming the presumptive nominee for president for a major political party, and coming one step closer to breaking though the glass ceiling weakened by “eighteen million cracks” in 2008. Regardless of what happens in November, the fact that the highest office in the land no longer seems off limits to anyone but white males should be great cause to celebrate. I’m so happy to be back and watching these events as they unfold. Now, may the best man….er person win!!
