    MADAM PREZ…….you know the secret service is going to have to come up with some good names for her…they can’t use her old flotus names….I have a suggestion….or two…well you know there is BIG BROTHER from orson wells…1984 (Reagan, Bush how appropriate), HRC’S secret service name could be BIG MOTHER. as in BIG MOMMA IN DA HOUSE! ;0….her diplomatic motto for her administration can be; IF MOMMA AIN’T HAPPY AIN’T NOBODY HAPPY. well now that I have posted this of course they won’t be able to use it…but an american can dream can’t she? hopefully she will have a global “women in government” summit to focus on how women’s rights can politically stabilize the world, right to education, wage equality, and rights to control their bodies, access to health care that protects the right to choose….ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR WOMEN! ;)
