Will it take a woman president in office to shock Americans into realizing women are becoming the first sex!?

No CoolLuke. Not a female president, nor freezing hel itself are necessary.  The entire world already realizes that we, the women, are the first and superior sex.\nWill men not surrender for the mere glance of a woman's breast?  What of a kiss, a touch, or the key to unlocking our treasure chest and exploring the succulent jewels deep within?  Oh yes, we have always been and will remain the first sex.

Yes.\nUnfortunately, a woman President would have to deal with a world mostly controlled by men. I know that the general belief is that women are emotional and men are logical - but that is not so.\nWar is emotional, rape, murder, beating up on your family. Wouldn't you call that emotional? Yes it is, it is just different from how women express emotion.\nWhen a war ends the powers that be talk - a woman president would be able to talk and by pass the whole war and voilent emotional tendancies men use. \nAgain though, with a male oriented civilization - men would never comprehend talking rather than killing.\nIf killing is logical, then it explains why our world is so screwed up. We should come up with Anti-Vigra pills... And something for women who keep going along with this 'Women are too emotional' bull. Cattiness is childish - grow up...

I can't stand her!  I think she was the brains behind the Clinton presidency... but I just can't respect a woman who doesn't respect herself (if she did she would have left Bill Clinton a long, long time ago--but she just allows him to keep having affairs).  It'll be a sad day if she's elected the first female president--that is not what young girls should be aspiring to be like.

We have that situation over here in Germany with Angela Merkel being first female Chancellor. See, we don't even have a word for that :o). Her husband is referred to as Herr Merkel, Mr. Merkel. Probably the female President's hubby will be called Mr. Clinton also. In that case maybe President Hillary Clinton with her husband former Preisdent Clinton. Successful clan, huh?

We have our first Female speaker in the house. I feel that this is an important step to having a female president in the running. We need more women to balance out the good ole boy network that has been running for to long. A women as president would make other countries take another look at us. They would have to reconfigure their stand in dealing with the US. As long as she is sure and confident in her purpose she would be an asset to the Presidency.

I think we will have a caucasian female for president way before we have a non-caucasian male.  Lots of people are not racist (or not very racist), but way more than you may think, are.

The truth is that America is not ready for a female president, like they are not ready for a black president.  You have to realize that majority of America is still in the mentality that this country was founded on (White, Christians, Rich Men).  If you live in a major city, you have more diversity.  But most of America is not like that...its made of small towns and ideologies of generations upon generations (women belong in the home or "to know her place").  It will take time before America can accept full DIVERSITY....until that time we as a people have to fight for these things.

Yes. You will see a woman President in your lifetime.\n\nIt is folly to think otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a choice next time round - Rice or Clinton - take your pick. Can you see any republican better qualified than Rice? She has incredible influence and pwer and knows the Whitehouse like the back of her hand. Can you think of a better known Democrat than Hilary? and she CERTAINLY knows the whitehouse. She lived there for several years.\n\nIn the UK we had Maggie Thatcher. The Germans have a woman. Even the Catholics in Ireland have had a woman, India has had a woman and now Liberia!!!\n\nI know America is backward - heck - it took you years to give up slavery after the rest of the world - but you'll catch up quick! :)

I believe most people are ready for a woman in the White House.  More than that, though, we need a real leader who will bring us together.  We have a lot of issues out there right now that split us right down the middle at 50/50.  Worst of all, there is NO ONE out there, man or woman, who is really saying what is on peoples' minds.\n\nI would like to think that we could have a sensible president who would be a national and world leader, and that the sensibility would lead to less war and what not.  Problem is that there are lots of people out there (inside and outside America) who want a fight right now, and you won't get them to listen and follow any system because the system has screwed them over too many times.  This leads to an ineffective government, and infighting--which is exactly what we see in this world today.\n\nJust voting for some woman won't solve anything.  But I am certain there is a woman out there who could do the job if she wanted it.

A female president would probably be very good for the country. Unfortunately it probably won't happen due to the way of diplomatic relations. In America, women are treated as equals to men, (for the most part) but in many foreign countries, woman are not seen this way. They won't respect a woman as they would a man. Sad But True.

I concur with the sentiments of the other people who have answered.  As long and the woman is qualified and not Hillary Clinton, then the U.S. is ready for a woman president.  I wouldn't mind seeing Condoleeza Rice and president.

Being a woman, i think it would be great to have a woman president but she would have to be qualified for the job. The only thing I worry about is the day a woman runs for president and everyone runs out to vote for her just because she is a woman and they want that one moment to bask in to say yes we have the first woman president, then six months later complain how crappy a job she is doing. No president is a perfect president and there will always be large groups of people complaining about how bad a job they are doing. It is just he way it goes when your president.

from my point of view we have understimated the value of women in the society, many times had been seen that women do better in certain things that are supouse to be done by a man, i think she will make a terrific president, much better than the ass right now, i encourage people to think...not to act as macho without a brain..

Most other industrialized nations have had or have women in presidential-like roles, so it wouldn't be a big deal. i too think it is time for a woman to be president, but not condeleeza (i'm bush as a woman) rice
