I don't blame her for Bush OR Arnold (and I'm a Californian)!!!
I don't think it's her job to "cure the ills of the world". I think the school she started in Africa is inspiring and generous in spirit. It simply blew me away that she didn't use the PLATFORM she had to speak out re: voter disenfranchisement. I didn't expect her to lead the movement. I don't dislike her. She just surprised me. She promotes leadership and speaking out when warranted. Publicly, she was indifferent to injustice. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic. I'll be the first to admit that.
