Hillary Clinton for President of the United States?

Question

Im not trying to sound sexist or anything and for all the feminists out there im sure your all about the idea of a female president, but to have a female president of the U.S.? Wouldnt that in comparison to all other nations be a sign of weakness amongst our leadership? Im sure to get negtive feedback on this (opposing this question) since, afterall you all get the last word. So please...if your gonna be negative, BE BRUTAL!!! What do you think?

Answer 1

I don't believe it would make the US look weak. Look at Germany, does Angela Merkel make them look weak?

I will not be voting for HC, but because I do not agree with her policies not because she is a woman.

Answer 2

examine out your historic previous, sweetie. a million. many of the present Presidents (Clinton, Carter, Reagan, and so on) have been former Governors. The Governor is the administrative branch of the State, in basic terms because of the fact the President is the administrative branch of the federal government. for this reason, journey as a governor is extremely appropriate. 2. If being a US Senator delivers high quality journey, then why don't you vote for Biden or Dodd? that they had greater desirable than two times as lots journey as Hillary (or Edwards or Obama). 3. It additionally bothers me approximately how she's attempting to pawn off 35 years of journey. On a scale of a million to 10, I supply her journey as First woman some 2.5 in terms of relevance. She have been given to play around with univeral well being care, met some significant figures the two regionally and the worldwide over, and represented the U. S. on issues like funerals. so a techniques as her different "credentials" in this time, i think of they are surprisingly suspect.

Answer 3

I don't think that Hillary's gender is relevant.
I appreciate the fact that she did try to create a public health care system for US citizens. Republicans shut her down because they don't care about anyone but the rich.

Some of the comments I have seen on here appear to come from inbred bigots... do they even know how to vote? Oh I guess so, look where we are now...
Our economy sucks for the average American (I'm excluding big oil, pharm and weapons) and we blow billions of tax and loaned dollars on the useless, unjust war in Iraq.

We have gone backwards in time in the USA and become less free, less independent, less just and more corrupt, impoverished and polluted. Ignore for a moment the stupid hate-based rhetoric created by the Bush administration and you will see the truth.

Hillary may be just the person to help us reclaim democracy.

If she gets elected, I hope she is!

One thing is for sure, her history of trying to help the average American is better than a history of snorting coke, pretending to be in the Air Guard, plotting with Enron and being an inside man for the Saudis.

Answer 4

well i do think we have to start somewhere. Maybe what we need is a female president. You never know whether it could help out the country or not. i agree that it could look like a sign of weakness but that just gives her the opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Someone has to try. I mean, why shoot her down when its never been attempted? It's just like African Americans being voted into office. I'm sure everyone said the same thing they're saying about a woman president, but look where we are now.

Not only that, but I heard that MOST of Bill's ideas came from her anyway. alot of these men in politics have backbones who are women. so why not see what woman can do for this country..besides, she has plenty of people who can back her up.

Answer 5

Other countries have female leaders....honestly.

But Hillary won't be elected. She is too polarizing. If she is on the ticket, I fear at least another 4 more years of Republican ooze.

But not all republican presidents are bad presidents. Just the current one, in a really, really bad way. If Hillary was on the ticket, I would vote 3rd party or republican.

Then again, I live in Utah, so my vote doesn't count anyways...this state is as Red as they come.

Answer 6

Most men won't vote for Hillary, and most women don't care for her and wouldn't vote for her either. I certainly wouldn't. Obama's major drawback will be his race. Unfortunate but nonetheless a problem. A number of other countries would not respect a woman president in the same manner they would a man. Plus, it doesn't seem that the US population is ready for a woman, especially not someone like Hillary. But, whomever is in office will have a difficult time because no matter which party is there, many people will still be dissatisfied.

Answer 7

Where did these cave people come from all of the answers above me. I am in year 2007 right, Other countries have had women heads of state and still do. As far as skin color whats up with that, have I a took a time machine back to 1707 or whats up with you Americans. It should be the person who is most qualified, or the person who closely has your views. Not gender./ or color. When will we ever learn. I guess when the country turns completely BROWN

Answer 8

There's a good chance we'll have a woman president after the 2008 election... I can't tell you whether it'll be Hillary, Obama, or Edwards, but there's a good chance that one of those three women will win.

Answer 9

No, it would be a sign that we democratically elected her. I would dare any nation to test that "weakness" It's 2007 and women are 50% of the population. Your rationale sounds like a dumb a.s.s excuse for not electing women, Hilary or any woman in the future. Sorry, that doesn't work with me....

Answer 10

She won't be president because she is a wicked mean *** biotch. She has an evil temper, and I can pretty much guarantee secret service will dive the other way should an attempt be made on her life.

Answer 11

Hillary Clinton is anything but weak.
