While in Johannesburg a woman from Kenya asked Obama, who was giving a town hall style presentation, the best way to get involved in politics. That's when Obama laid down a giant truth bomb and told it like it is. He said:

Of course we all had to know.
With more and more women entering politics maybe soon we will end this debate once and for all.
