We’re proud of our liberal ways... until it comes to a woman in power

If Hillary doesn’t make it back to the White House, the argument that America wasn’t ready for a woman president will at least be a consolation prize.

Similarly, if Obama doesn’t make it, he can draw solace from the belief that America was not ready for a black president

We’re all liberal, open-minded, generous to a fault. We’re unprejudiced. We don’t discriminate based on creed, race or gender. We can be trusted to pick people for important jobs based on their expertise and experience, undistracted by the colour of their skin or their sex.
