Hillary Clinton Is the Perfect Age To Be President (biologically primed & post-menopausal)

At 67, Hillary Clinton is now a “woman of a certain age.” So much emphasis and worry are put on physical aging in women that the emotional maturity and freedom that can come at this time are given short shrift. That robs everyone of a great natural resource. As women of a certain age, it is our time to lead. The new standard for aging women should be about vitality, strength, and assertiveness.

One of the largest demographics in America is women in their forties to sixties, and by 2020 there will be nearly 60 million peri- and post-menopausal women living in the United States. Because women’s average life expectancy is currently 81 years, we’re easily spending a third of our lives postmenopausal. That is a great opportunity for growth and change.

The long phase of perimenopause is marked by seismic spikes and troughs of estrogen levels, which can last for more than a decade in many women. But afterward, there is a hormonal ebbing that creates a moment of great possibility. As a psychiatrist, I will tell you the most interesting thing about menopause is what happens after. A woman emerging from the transition of perimenopause blossoms. It is a time for redefining and refining what it is she wants to accomplish in her third act. And it happens to be excellent timing for the job Clinton is likely to seek. Biologically speaking, post-menopausal women are ideal candidates for leadership. They are primed to handle stress well, and there is, of course, no more stressful job than the presidency.

I lie to think she is the perfect age for a debilitating or life ending stroke!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

We’d all be better off if she her title was just “grandma” and nothing else.

Maybe "inmate".

Next they’ll tell us she washes her hands after she goes to the Bathroom

Damn I’m off my game today. Good one.

Hillary had too much of a history, even before her term as SoS. Her SoS was not very good, either. And no amount of face lifts and air brushing can change the fact that she is an elder.

Both parties should review their nominees of the last two decades:


1992 Old Bush vs Young Clinton
1996 Old Dole vs still youthful Clinton
2000 draw, age wise
2004 Old Kerry vs still youthful Bush
2008 Old McCain vs youthful Obama
2012 Aging Romney vs still youthful Obama

Notice a pattern?

Some have been pushing Gore to run again. Gore's problem is too many videoes of him 'gone wild and crazy' and his age. He, too, is no longer one of the youthfuls.

At 67, Hillary Clinton is now a “woman of a certain age.”

Yeah.

Time to be widowed...

[Iron Munro]

Hillary is the one we need if the country has to deal with multiple Bimbo Eruptions.

Other than that she is as worthless as Barack Obama.

[Usagi_yo]

Gad darnit, went through another keyboard on that post.

[Lurkinanloomin]

She wishes.......

[null and void]

Don’t laugh. The very same people who bought that starving Teri Schaivo was euphoric will buy this too.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Have you folks taken a good look at Hillary Clinton lately. She is both a certified “frump” and not the cutest woman in the world!!! In fact......some of her most ardent supporters in the “Obamabot” media have posted some ugly photos of her wrinkled face!!! But....fear not people......it is par for the Democrat party to harbor, what one may call....not the most attractive, appealing, bright or talented women in the Democrat Party or the “Obamabot” media!!! Just saying....what the facts are!!! You all judge for yourself!!! Methinks......Ms. Clinton should simply remain a Grandma...and leave it at that!!!

"Biologically speaking, post-menopausal women are ideal candidates for leadership."

The media would have a feeding frenzy if a male Republican said that. It makes it sound like pre-menopausal women are somehow less fit.

This is just more bullshite in the age of bullshite

Knee deep in a world where minority identity is parasitically devouring the majority host

Estrogen is being figured into the election equation? Crazy, I tell you! Our country has gone stark raving mad!

[SpaceBar]

I really did throw up in my mouth a little.

[Fledermaus]

Liberals are deranged. Don’t they remember that in 1980 Reagan’s age of 68 “disqualified him” to be president? Still moving the goalpost I see.

[keving]

Moody Bitches? Have they convinced themselves its a fait acompli?

[hal ogen]

Goodness! These LIB asshats are beyond the pall. Their self-acceptance of their mental illness is remarkable.
