回複不開竅的評論:
"a big portion" still means "most", or else, it would be "a small portion". To state a fact correctly, I suggest you say "some of them are superficial.":)

Sorry, I am making a correction.
A big portion of them are superficial. How do you think.

Well, "two" is not considered "most" among Wellesley women. I do know some very superficial Wellesley women too, but I wouldn't say "most", because even if all the Wellesley women I know are superficial, statistically they are still not the majority of all the Wellesley grads. Maybe it just happened that you are surrounded by superifcial women? If you are a man, watch out your wallet. :)

Most 威爾斯利女子 are superficial. A MIT student, duather of MIT-威爾斯利 parents, called her mom a Wxxx. Another Chinese 威爾斯利女子asked her fiance, a medical resident from Harverd, to buy her a $25,000 ring on loan, in addition to his medical student loan.

This country is in crisis. We need a person who has a proven record to lead us out of the crisis. Hillary is that kind of the person. She gained experiences, either success or failure, during her senator terms and her first lady. In addition, Clinton years were the best years in the recent American history.
Obama is a question? His change message lacks of substances. He himself lacks experiences. A slogan without experiences reminds me the Culture Revolution in China.
He is still young. He can be a good vice present in deed. After gaining more experieces in the office, he can be the first African president in the future.
This is a better choice for himself, for the people in this country, and for this country. We can not afford another four year fiasco.
obama選上同樣break the glass ceiling不是？當然長遠來看，種族歧視將消失，而性別是永恒的。
沒覺得兩人有什麽不合格當總統。連小不適都合適了，hillary/obama都不差。

riversouth,
Give me a break! Except for his "change" word, what does Obama have?
Mark my words, if Obama is nominated, he'll have no chance to get elected. Though politically not correct, but yes, exactly because he is black. This factor is not obvious yet in the pre-election process. But once in the final decisive stage, the US majority white will from the bottom of their heart not be ready for a black person to be their president. I think in this pre-election GOP is delibrately helping Obama to get nominated by the DNC.

回複bbgg的評論: Hillary represents large special interest groups and is a very divisive figure. If she is the norminee, Democratic Party will lose in the general election and the Republican will remain in the White House. We need to vote for Senate Obama, a unifying force for change. His father is an immigrant like us. As a minority, his becoming US president symbolizes a historical step forward for all minorities to break glass ceilings. What glass ceilings can we not break when we have a minority in the White House? As a female voter, I want to see a female president, but not one on the coat-tail of a powerful husband. Hillary does not represent a free woman. Without Bill, she is nothing.

There is nobody us Chinese can count on, because we're deeply divided on just about everything and anything. We lack the unity and political influence of the African American community; we lack clear political representation and social identification, we can't even rally around ourselves in times of crisis. Who do you expect to defend us? Obama? He vowed to stop the import of all Chinese-made toys..blind ambition. A politician who tries to deviate from the status quo too much will not end up well. And who else? has any other candidate publicly attempted to rally our support? And why not? Do you really expect to hear the truth from a politician. You have a personal dislike, or disrespect for Hilary, for whatever reason. Because she does exactly what all politicians ought to do. She hasn't broken any rules. I don't know what your gender is, but a woman who's breaking the glass ceiling on her own is to be admired. My support goes to Hilary.

Hillary is the wrong candidate for the Presidency. She lacks the temperment or the charisma to head an office that requires a lot of goodwill from all around.
Why us Chinese should support her? How much has she engaged Asian community (other than asking for donation)? Does she really understand the feelings of immigrants or just being patronistic? A corporate lawyer from Harvard, deeply entrenched in political establishment, is hardly someone you and I can identify with.
For example, in dealing with trade tensions, Hillary is far more likely to go with Union sentiment and pick China as a scapegoat (not that she has not done so during her famous but only visit to Beijing) than someone like McCain. And her message would be far less sensitive to the feelings of Chinese Americans than Obama's would.
Remember she was an idealist before in the Israel-Palestinian conflict (ca. 1994). She soon changed her tone as she "matured" during her first-ladyship. That is what I mean by saying she's entrenched. If you don't like the anti-China tone in the U.S. today, you would be a fool to expect Hillary would lead the effort to change that.
Is that kind of person we Chinese Americans can count on? There will be many female Presidents, but I hope the tradition doesn't start from Hillary. Vote anyone but Hillary.

上月在新汗布什爾州初選前的一次公眾集會上，兩個男人舉著“ Iron My Shirt “的牌子，衝正要發揮中心論點“什麽是改變”的希拉莉高呼“熨我的襯衫”。“ Ah, the remnants of sexism _ alive and well," 希拉莉笑道， "As I think has been abundantly demonstrated, I am also running to break through the highest and hardest glass ceiling," 她的話被一片掌聲淹沒。歡迎聽眾提問時，她說“我今天在這裏回答大家的問題。。。誰想知道如何 熨自己的襯衫？。。。”座下眾人大笑。希拉莉的應對機變，正中廣大選民，尤其女選民的心，表現真是十分出彩。
這個緊張選戰中的小插曲不禁讓我想起電影“蒙娜麗莎的微笑”。這部由 Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles 等大牌女星擔綱的電影，講述的是在五十年代保守的威爾斯利女子學院，學生們聰明過人，卻為社會傳統的婦女角色所束縛，一位熱情洋溢的女教師如何啟發她們獲得心靈自由的故事。電影中有個情節是學校的家政課上，老師出了個題目：“你老公突然通知你，他的上司今晚要來你家吃晚飯。這位上司對你老公的升遷很關鍵。你計劃如何招待這位上司？”威爾斯利女子學院正是希拉莉的母校，也是我的母校。她 1965 年畢業，是典禮上那屆畢業生的發言人。美國第一位女國務卿奧爾布萊特也畢業於該校，而她正是我畢業那年典禮上的特邀發言人。這所學校出來的女傑還有菲律賓的阿基諾夫人，中國的宋美齡，冰心等。奧老學姐前陣子出來數落小布什的失政，同時大讚希學姐，為校友撐腰。現在校友們成立了一個“ Wellesley Women for Hillary” 的組織，幫助希拉莉競選。出於華人的利益立場和對希拉莉個人能力的讚賞欽佩，我也加入了該組織。現在的這些威爾斯利女人們，多半是退能熨襯衫，做精致的晚餐招待老公的上司，進能撐起自己的一片天。希拉莉曾是個稱職的第一夫人，如今自己出來競選， 同樣身孚眾望。
