Yes I know - of course she voted for Obama, blah blah blah.  STILL - how amazing it must be for this woman to see such progress in her nation.  The daughter of a slave... when less than 50 years ago she had to pay a hefty fee to vote (literally)... now she is actually voting for an African American presidential nominee.  How cool it must be for her!

she won't have to live with the consequences of her vote.

I can't imagine how she must feel to have the chance to cast a vote that symbolizes equality after experiencing being a third class person most of her life. It must be a feeling of true joy.

Good for her!!
