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.”

“Let me say this, hypothetically speaking, I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime,” Clinton said at a women’s conference in Toronto on Thursday night. “And whether it’s next time or the next time after that, it really depends on women stepping up and subjecting themselves to the political process, which is very difficult.”

The former secretary of state told the cheering audience that she would “certainly vote for the right woman to be president.” …

“Hillary Rodham Clinton mused aloud about the significance of America electing its first female president.”

Whatever happened to the concept of America electing its BEST CANDIDATE?”

First Halfrican American (p)resident. Man did that send the “right” signal! Sadly, the didiots our there are all forgiving of the atrocities these asshats have perp’d on us. Now, the U.S. lovin’ folks? No forgiveness for anything. Even if they didn’t do anything wrong. The didiots will make something up and it’ll stick.

I am sick and tired of media types lauding HC saying that she so intelligent. There is no evidence to support their claims. She is a humorless, unremarkable women who wears size 38 mens trousers who married a crafty, unscrupulous politician and then put up with his peccadilloes just so she could become a carpetbagger Senator in New York. During her tenure as Secretary of State, the world has gone up in flames due to her breathtakingly weak and incompetent management of that office. And, did I say that she wears size 38 mens pants?

We will have a female president one day, but it will never be that 70 year battle-axe. Does she actually think those Southern white democrats (the one’s that love their guns and bibles) will vote for her after she came out for queer “marriage”? Ain’t happening.

Would Hillary endorse Sarah Palin over Biden, Cuomo or Kerry?

Would you, Ms Clinton?

After all, I’ve heard that a “Female president would send right signal”.

We have a half-latte now for President. What kind of signal is that supposed to send?

Okay, we get a ‘woman’ for President. Are you Ms. Clinton (you aren’t really effectively married, haven’t been for decades - I doubt you ever really were)saying that YOU as a supposed ‘woman’ sends a signal?

I’ll give you that. It sends a signal that a woman can be just as corrupt or even more corrupt than a man as well as being inept and conniving. All history’s experience can tell most anyone that a woman with a grudge or personality disorder like yours can be the biggest lying b!tch of all time. All this because the husband you picked probably had to be coked up and massively drunk to conceive your supposed offspring.

Angela Merkel and Maggie Thatcher? How historical.

I think Obama gave us all the “historical” we need for a very long time.
