A woman will be president in my lifetime.

To me, Obama was a lot different. That was truly history and a "only in America" thing. Many nations have made women heads of their state, but never has a primarily euro-white-centric country elected a man of African decent, especially one with such racial inequality and our history of we have treated them.

I'm sure many will disagree, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
