    We are ready if we think we are. Dozens of countries (even muslim) have had female presidents.
    I have never heard issues on that. Only ignorance and prejudice could keep us from having a black
    female, gay or any other minority group as a president.

    The greatest thing about America is its ability to rally behind its leaders right or wrong. The strength of this nation is concensus. While we may be at opposite ends of the political spectrum we don't overthrow our governments because we disagree. Americans have hope in the cycles of 2 year elections to re-write (do-over, get out of jail, free spin, a mulligan...). We have a political system which remains dynamic and responsive to the voter. What we don't have are representatives once elected with courage to stand like reformers stood in Tiamen square. Therefore, real change comes slowly but it still comes and each 2 year cycle of elections keeps our republic representative in front of their constituents.
    AMERICA IS READY...IT HAS BEEN...IT ALWAYS WILL BE...Just elect a fresh face and watch American respond.

    Comment: Listen we are all GOD's children, he made us all,we bleed the same red blood, do not make this Presendential Race about the color, nationality or sex of the persons running, If everyone just take the time and see how this special man has brought so much hope to ordinary people. I am asking everyone just to give him a chance, 220 years of the same, the world is changing and it is only getting worst, do not let fear stand in your way, it 's okay to change. Thank You Everyone And God Bless.
