Sometimes you just have to call them as you seen them!
Obama never promoted his historic win with "History Made" as the first Black nominee or even POTUS and he never fell back on that as excuse, and yes I had my differences with him in regarding to HC, turning a blind eye to war crimes and those on Wall St.
But he NEVER used his race as a reason to support his agenda. Personally and as a woman over 60 Clinton should follow in his footsteps and not play the gender card.
No I do not want a magnet for 10 bucks with her picture and the words "History Made!"
She would do well to follow Obama's footsteps as he did not feel the need to flaunt his race, nor should she flaunt her gender.
Policies and positions are what history will ultimately decide their fate, many, many years after we are gone.
