Bet you didn't know this about another blonde...

A friend sent me this and since I like hearing about empowered, successful, caring, accomplished business women, I thought you might enjoy reading this too.
I haven't made my mind up on who I will vote for come election day because I'm still collecting information, but this is interesting and makes one think.

And I quote...

"I doubt if you see this on the nightly news....................

 

 We've seen this before, but I like this one because of the photos.  Maybe those of you who watch TV have seen her "up close" but I haven't seen any news in the newspaper or in the Yahoo headline area.  She's certainly the type of First Lady I want in the White House.

Cindy McCain

Bet you would have never guessed this one!  No ma tter your politics.
The media will never tell of this, so pass it on.  
 

GO  GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
         
 
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on Cindy McCain, John's wife.
All I ever saw was this attractive woman standing beside John.  I was surprised how talented and involved with world problems she is.   This is a summary of the article.
 

         
She graduated from Southern Cal and was a special-needs
teacher.
 After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father. (This is to sway for all the beer drinkers who aren't into politics. HA!)
 

       
They have a marriage prenuptial agreement, her assets remain separate.        
She is involved around the world clearing land mines - travels to these
countries on a detonation team and service on their bo ard.
 

       
They have a 19 year old serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy, a daughter recently graduated from Columbia Univ., an adopted daughter in high school,and a son who is the finance guy at the beer firm.
 

     
Raised kids in Phoenix , Az. rather than Washington DC . (better
atmosphere)  He commuted.

 
     
In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh .  
Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with severe cleft palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted the girl who has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and other medical problems.
 

       
They have a Family Foundation for children's causes.

 
 
She's active with 'Halo Trust' - to clear land mines, provide water and
food in war ravaged and developing countries.
   
She will join an overseas mission of 'Operation Smile', a charity for corrective surgery on children's faces.
       
She has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers.  
She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.

       
I'm surprised the media is so quiet about her attributes.   (Cindy is a) person with business and international experience.   John did work for the firm for awhile when he left the Navy.  She, however, has the real business experience.  Very interesting.
