It has now been just a little over 24 hours since we all learned who Barak Obama's choice as a running mate is. As was stated yesterday, it was a drop off the cliff. The problem with that cliff is, you would hope to soar to greater heights after launching such an ambitious and talked about subject. The "Bounce" in politics as it is called.
Obama has said since the beginning of his campaign that this would be "Change That We Could Believe In". We were all hoping to see a large shift in what Washington has been since the dawn of this country. The hope of fresh and new seems to be fading into politics as usual. There had been the real possibility until yesterday that an African American and a Woman could occupy the two top posts in our government.
It is so sad that it appears the male ego has once again reared his ugly head. There are several women who are very qualified to be President or Vice President of this country. Mr. Obama now has to answer to the working mothers, the single mothers, the woman walking down Main Street USA as to why a woman was not good enough to be his running mate.
Mr. Obama, you have lost many of us with your decision. Now you have a lot of ground to make up for because of this. You had made promises to the American People that you seem to already be breaking. We had so hoped and believed that you could and would bring the changes that are so necessary to turn this troubled nation around. You dared us to dream and we did! There is now the huge possibility that you have thrown a Democratic win for the White House into the gutter.
The Democratic National Convention is only two days away. Hillary Clinton's name will be put into nomination. Maybe the super delegates should take your dream away and nominate Hillary Clinton instead of you. She would be smart enough to choose you as her Vice President.

I moved from Detroit this past August back to Alpena to take care of my parents. I still have a love and interest in what goes on in Detroit.
