Clinton: Female president would send right signal

Hillary Rodham Clinton mused aloud about the significance of America electing its first female president. Left unsaid: whether she might try again to be the one.

In a video of a private Clinton speech posted to YouTube on Friday, Clinton told a Canadian audience that she hoped the U.S. would elect a woman to the White House because it would send “exactly the right historical signal” to men, women and children. She said women in politics need to “dare to compete” and the nation needs to “take that leap of faith.”

We need a leader, not a symbol. We have a symbol right now.
How is that working out?

Unless the woman happens to be a conservative. Then she can be insulted to every level imaginable and liberals consider that to be a good thing.

"Clinton: Female president would send right signal"

If that's the only qualification, elect Lassie.

Mus-il-0bummer is surrounding himself w/females for a reason. I still wouldn’t put it past him to not step down. Who would force him out of the whitehouse? Hmm?

We sent a historical message when we elected the POS now occupying the White House.

We don’t need any more historical messages, we need competence, honesty, patriotism and a love for America as the land of the Free.

We certainly don’t need Whitewater, Benghazi, FBI papers, Bull Dyke, Jew hating, Liberal, Feminist, Lying sack of crap to follow the spiteful, arrogant narcissist, racist we got slammed with for the last two elections.

I think to send fully right signal it has to be also black, gay, single parent, disabled and intellectually challenged non-citizen on welfare!
The world will more America even more.

“Left unsaid: whether she might try again to be the one. “

Does a bear...

It’s been her goal since 1963.

Well yeah, let’s elect a woman because we need to send the right signal. After all, electing the first black president has turned out so well.

For Hitlery, it is all about the genitalia and a perverted devotion to fascism.

I prefer a person who embraces freedom.

All the dogs that portrayed Lassie on screen were male (first one was Rudd Weatherwax’s dog “Pal”). Shoulda called the dog “Laddie”.

So we have a black, then a female then a gay or lesbian. Sending the right signal to who? the arrogant idiots are more concerened with what you are then who you are. It is evident in the rot in DC.

I believe that’s true, but the character portrayed was female.
