Should Women Feel Obligated To Vote For Hillary?



By watching this video, it tells us that some women will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. They base their vote just on her gender. What about what she will do for the people, such as the health benefits she promises or what if Barack Obama has better benefits for the people? Some just don't care, they see that she's a woman who has good intentions and decide to give her their vote. Then there are others who have been waiting for a woman to run for presidency for a long time, but they say she isn't the type of woman they were waiting for and rather give their vote to another candidate they would prefer.

Many women have now followed Oprah Winfrey's footsteps. She said " I am a free woman and being a free woman, I can think and decide for myself". Women at a campaign rally criticized her statement by saying "she is a traitor to her gender". As we all know, Oprah is on Obama's campaign; Oprah and Michelle Obama went campaigning recently along with some of the Kennedy's in Iowa. This is one of Obama's strategies to get women to vote for him. He is using this strategy because he knows that a lot women will vote without a doubt for Mrs.Clinton. - Rabie
