I am Somalia and I wish we had some one like her in my country, all man have testatoron they dont understand what peace mean , just want their own gain, long live Allen president of Liberia .

[bassapekin]

Ellen is all talk no substance! Despite all the international support, she has accomplished almost nothing. She brought in all her relatives and friends, unwilling to prosecute any government official thus taking corruption and impunity to new levels. This generation will remember this burden (Ellen) as the lady that squandered the greatest opportunity in Liberia's History!

[Seltue12]

She is indeed a failure and puppet of the West.

[HeavenlyCitizen]

I like her, but her friendship with bush is kind of suspect.

[DRSmetal]

Maybe things will be better with Obama.

People need to visit Liberia and see for themselves. I left for Liberia March 1, 2008 band got back March 24,2008. Ellen government is a mess. The economic hardship in Liberia presently is a disgrace. People in Liberia are saying even the criminal Charles Taylor government is way bettet then her government. prices. Bag of rice LD 2000 plus, Club beer big bottle is LD100, Guiness stout LD 85, Malta is $65, even soft drink is 40LD. Transportation from broad street to paynesville is LD 45 to 50.

You think that one or two U.S dollars in Liberia is high , come too Canada , U will really Cry.........

[LIB4eternity]

@Seltue12 Stop talkin senseless,do u think Liberia is the only country in the world that is goin thru hardship? and pls stop lying against the Liberian ppl,there is no way Taylors govt could be way better than Ellen"s, Ellen govt is 1000 times better than most of the past govts. Taylor time who cud talk freely,or walk around by night without being terrorize by ATU,ppl got beaten almost everyday 4 no reason by Govt officials.after 14 yrs of war who told u it was goin to be easy for Lib"s recovery

I saw this film during the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles (Feb) and it is very inspiring. Madame Sirleaf is inspiring women in Liberia, Africa and the world to take charge. Wish I could buy this video and hope they make it available soon. Wish however the filmmakers would have mentioned the strong Iron Ladies of Liberia's past that laid the foundation for what is happening now. Ladies such as Matilda Spencer Newport, Madame Suakoko and the Honorable Angie Brooks Randolph.

[saucy05]

she looks very promising. is there a link where i can watch the full video?

[mytheropy]

Let's hope so. If We have faith, pass it to her.
