As if all the women appointed by Obama have done a great job of ruining just about every corner of the Govt. Maybe the failure of the Obama administration will help to kill off the idea that race, gender or national origin should be a qualification for public office. We need people who can manage and lead..

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Obama administration has me wondering if maybe race, gender, or national origin SHOULD be a qualification. Would blacks put up with all of the damage Obama has done to job opportunities, minority neighborhoods and throwing billions of dollars to corporations if he were white? Would they be defending Obama's very bad decisions if not for the racism of supporting the guy who pretends he's black? Would women let a woman president get away with as much? (I suspect so) Would anyone put up with the very bad appointments or the trashing of the consttituion if it were GWB?

No, I want a president who's held accountable for his actions. Not another person who identifies more with a group than he/she does with all citizens.

And looking at the quilting-bee, girl's club mentality of the female US Senators (both parties), do we really want one of them for President? I'd feel much better with a TedCruz/RandPaul ticket. They wouldn't agree on everything, but they'd be making decisions on what's best to maybe stop the death spiral the US is on.
