Yes, it is her decision to work. Yes, it is OUR decision to vote for her. Yes, it is our decision to decide if she'd be a good vice-president - or president, as could be the case. But isn't being a good PARENT the first character test we should ask ourselves of someone we're handing the most looked-to job in the world? I firmly believe that mothers can do more good in the home raising their children to be future leaders than making decisions in the boardroom. THEY are the ones truly changing the world. Of course, I also happen to be a staunch feminist, and am equally cemented in the belief that women can do anything we put our minds to. I guess I just feel that everything has a time and a season. She's still young. Can't she wait til her children are a little older before going for the White House? Even if she becomes The World's Best VP Ever, what will it cost her children? Whatever happens, it won't be worth it. No success in the world compensates for failure in the home. But hey. I don't really know if she's been a failure. Not saying she is. Shoot, teen pregnancies happen in the best of families, to the best of parents. Maybe she's a fantastic parent. Maybe she puts us all to shame. I don't know. It is simply our job to decide if she's up for her job. How we do that is up to us.
