who worked twice as hard and had twice the talent of my sexist dad who loved playing the Bobby Riggs "male chauvinist pig". In later years, when Bill Clinton was elected, he just said of Hillary, "She's sharp as a tack. She should be President."

It's really too bad that Hillary's mom and Maya Angelou, who were both very much alive in 2008, have since passed on. I would've loved for Angelou to write/recite a poem she would have written for the inauguration, just as she had done for Bill in 1993.
