A House Divided

Going off from what we were saying in class about how it seems we don't get much information about the woman in the united states helping others, I feel like as a country now, besides being to self involved, we have our priorities a little messed up. Not to bring politics into in but it seems like a lot of the past president's focus on health care and other huge issues. Which yes they are extremely important but I feel like fixing other problems, that i believe are equally as important, such as the topic of women that the country would be better off. This is another reason why the current president has such a strong following, because he is tackling issues of woman equality and gay rights. Those are the topics I feel we should handle first THEN move on to the larger ones. Like president Lincoln said " A house divided against itself cannot stand".  If we got the country to connect more I feel that woman would not be an after thought and maybe even lead the country.
