In a way it almost scared me, like I thought "is something going to happen to her, being a black female in that position?" And it sounds crazy, but I am getting the same incling about Hillary Clinton should she become president. Compared with everything I have ever seen or known throughout history it would just look impossible, like something was wrong with the picture. Even having current number 2 Barack Obama as president would look more plausible in my opinion.
