Since they would be either the first african american or woman president and the spotlight would be shining extra bright on them their entire term and they would be called out of every screw up and not given as much slack and they'd know they'd be in the history books and people would just be waiting to see if they could do it as well or better then the typical white male president and they'd honestly try their true best way more often?

They each have an agenda that does NOT include the well being of the average American taxpayer. Its a fact.

Where were you? Hillary Clinton has already BEEN President, from 1992-2000, I think it wouldn't be good if she were President.
Rather than looking at Obama being the first black president, let's look at his stance on political issues like the War in Iraq, Immigration, Healthcare, etc... There is not a single doubt in my mind that he would do it right.
He's very intelligent, insightful and realistic when it comes to politics and the world and he has my backing 110% in this election not because of his background or his political party but because of his stance on individual topics.

I've never thought of it that way before but I guess you're right.
But even without the added pressure to do right, I think Obama is the right man for the job. Just listen to his speeches or even his podcast, he is really smart and in touch with what's going on in the world.

No. Look at the first female speaker of the house. She was in office 2 months and had her supporters protesting outside her house in San Francisco.

Obama and Hillary would work endlessly, both have a deep love for America. Hillary is far more qualified then Obama, if he is offered VP he would be next in line for President.

I don't think race or gender should come into anyone's mind when they vote. America should be beyond that already. Hillary Clinton will be our next leader of the free world because it just makes sense. She is the strongest most experienced candidate on the left and the right. She is not a socialist. She is a progressive. She cares about the future of American women and children and she wants every American to be healthy and safe. This election vote with compassion, not contempt. Support Hillary Clinton. It just makes sense.

Yeah, they'd just do whatever the polls tell them is popular. They have no convictions of their own. To make themselves go down in the history books as popular is such a noble goal, don't you think?

No it would be bad for our country because neither is qualified & Clinton is a sociopath.

clinton will be the downfall of america. women are too emotional for leadership like that, and she is way too left field for a decent leader. america will become communist.

I believe they would try harder because they would be under a microscope. Believe it or not, this country still has racist and misogynistic views believing a person of color and a woman are not as smart as a White man, so everything they do will be called out in public. So your question and response is true.
