Gloria Steinem:Hillary has made history, now vote Obama

The feminist icon whose writings inspired thousands of American women to a passionate support of Hillary Clinton said yesterday she was not at all crushed by Hillary’s loss and believes her race has “absolutely” been good for women. But she now not only supports Democratic nominee Barack Obama, she’ll volunteer for him, too.

“I think she changed forever our understanding of the possibilities of leadership,” Gloria Steinem said of Hillary in a Herald interview after a morning appearance here. “She showed such courage in the face of a media that was trying constantly to get her out of the race and all the misogyny . . . She put up with that with grace. She enlarged my vision.”

Steinem also said she’d be happy in an America where Nancy Pelosi remains speaker of the House, Hillary runs the Senate and Barack Obama is president.

So there you have it: A woman who has devoted a lifetime to women’s rights says she’s OK with the guy whom legions of Hillary loyalists say they can’t stomach because they blame him for stealing Hillary’s rightful job.

thank you!

We must all hang together - or we shall surly hang separately.

Remorseful Duff is my favorite!

while Ferrarro has ummm well uh ... never mind. :-(

She lived through that era. She doesn't want it to come back.

The stakes are too high

May Gloria's wise words lead to cooler heads and hearts.

We will unite eventually - and that BIG BLUE wave next fall will be amazing!

peace~:)

Well that's very generous of you, Gloria.
