“Woman deserve more than the Vice Presidency,” said Obama to a cheering crowd. “Senator Clinton’s tireless campaigning has earned women the right to be represented at the top of the ticket. To put Senator Clinton in a subordinate role would be an affront not only to her—but to women everywhere.”
“And while the candidate who has gotten the majority of delegate votes must be the nominee, that nominee can be both black and female if that candidate is willing to undergo a simple operation.”
“I am willing to undergo that operation, and as a female, to proudly carry on the work that Senator Clinton has started.”
“This is an important decision, and I have discussed it with my wife Michelle, who herself is a female, as are my two daughters both of whom are females, my white grandmother who is a female and who is descended from a long line of females.”
“I asked Michelle, ‘Can we make this kind of sacrifice for American?’ and do you know what Michelle said?”
“She said, ‘Yes we can.’”
