Kirafa’s Revolt

During a recent meeting with the Black Caucus , our presumptuous nominee,  Sen. Barack Obama was asked how he was going to mend the discord in the democratic party, particularly amongst women.  Sen. Obama was quoted as saying,

“ I need to make a decision in the next few months as to how I manage that since I’m running against John McCain, which takes a lot of time. If women take a moment to realize that on every issue important to women, John McCain is not in their corner, that would help them get over it.”

Please note the last three words, “Get over it.”

So, exactly what is it, that Obama wants us to get over?  Does he want us to get over the fact that the the more capable candidate, that had more experience, did not win the nomination?  In my opinion, she did, in fact, win and the DNC handed you the nomination; despite the fact that you do not have the experience necessary to become the President of the United States.

 But, should my opinion really matter to Sen. Obama?  After all, who am I? 

I guess my friends and acquaintances consider me to be “likeable enough”.  I have  been married, so I suppose some may have considered me to be  “just a wife”.  I am a democrat, which means I may have ”hollered at republicans”.  I don’t think I have ever ”looked like a dancer”, but I have been told I am “gorgeous”.   And lastly, because I am a woman, “periodically, I launch attacks” and “let my claws come out” but I know, that does not “boost my appeal” nor does it make me a “sweetie”.

But, Senator Obama, rather than trying to heal myself of all these terrrible afflictions you have reputed women to have, I think I would prefer to lie under the bus.  After all, I would have excellent company with your white granny, Hazel Johnson, Alice Palmer, 51% of the American population, the GLBT population of the United States, Geraldine Ferraro and Senator Hillary Clinton.

Hey, Senator Clinton, pass me the whiskey.  I am so happy to know that they do not serve kool-aid under this bus.
