This is why the world’s only political, economic and military superpower needs to select a woman to hold its highest elected post:

Are you kidding me? I should vote for Hillary Clinton, one of the people who got us into this war, to stop violence against women? Her hands are covered in the blood of the women and children killed in Iraq.
Further, I think it’s shameful that you would use the violence that occurs against women daily all across the globe to further YOUR political agenda. Give me a break.

Violence against women is political. It’s politics. It is not shameful whatsoever.
Stopping violence against women IS part of my political agenda. Ask yourself this: “WHY IS IT NOT ON MY AGENDA?” Your ability to remain blind to the realities of women beyond our borders, your inaction, signs their fates; that is shameful.
Additionally, what I find saddening is that you people (assuming you are pro-Obama) focus on the initial act of voting in favor of military actions against the Hussein regime.
Barack Obama has voted every time to continue funding the war, which means that Obama’s hands too are “covered in the blood of women and children killed in Iraq.” Barack Obama did not vote for the initial authorization to use military force because he was not in the US Senate. He was an Illinois Senator sitting in Springfield, Illinois. He continuously exploits that fact.
Then he has exploited the fact that he was going to run for president, which means his “anti-war activism” ceased the moment he was elected to the US Senator as a junior senator. He could not be seen as an activist opposing the war by denying funding, so he went along with it-NOW THAT IS AN INAPPROPRIATE POLITICAL AGENDA ISN’T IT?
Cheers,

Excellent video; I think it would have been an even more powerful finale if it would have said: “Who will be next? Your mother? Sister?” Then the faces of all these women, and then “You?”

Clintonista,
I agree, violence against women is a terrible reality in today’s world. It’s an issue I believe every politician (and person) feels strongly about, whether they be man or woman.
Hillary Clinton may be the best person to solve this problem, or she may not be. But her gender has nothing to do with those qualifications.

And Obama has two little girls that he thinks the world of. Why the divisiveness? Is Bill pro violence against women because of his genitilia? I think not.
