Someone commented about a Trump meme on my FB page, suggesting Ivanka as the first female President and I thought ... WHOA>So I decided to throw it out here for our comments

Four years before Hillary Clinton became the first woman to mathematically capture a major U.S. political party’s presidential nomination, a staff member on Rick Santorum’s 2012 presidential campaign posed a question in an email that shocked many people: “Is it God’s highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will, … to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?” God’s will or not, in 2016, it’s all that much closer to coming to fruition. Clinton is poised to be nominated for president by the Democratic Party next week. And so religious hard-liners of all...

Chelsea Clinton has given an interview about life in the public eye, being a new mother and her hope that the US one day elects a female president. While she stops short of naming a potential runner there can be little doubt – given the timing of her comments – about who she means. It is no secret that her mother, Hillary, is due to announce her run for the White House on Sunday. Ms Clinton told Elle magazine: “One of our core values in this country is that we are the land of equal opportunity, but when equal hasn't...

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...

Laura Bush Sees Woman President in Future Jan 13 3:41 PM US/Eastern By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Laura Bush predicted on Friday that the United States soon will have a female president _ a Republican, and maybe even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "I think it will happen for sure," Mrs. Bush said about a woman in the Oval Office.

"I think it will happen probably in the next...

Get a load of *this*! Maureen Shroud, is going to be on Larrty King this weekend, and her topic du jour, is: 'Why women make better leades than men." *This* oughta be good for a few chuckles at the warped old frustrated 'harpy in training'. :oD

Christopher Burnett, San Francisco Oh, yeah. Don't fool yourselves, gentlemen -- Hillary Rodham Clinton is headstrong, ambitious and tough. I'll put my money on the New York senator in 2008. She's got my vote. Richard Steinbach, Novato I think it's not likely... The name that comes up most often is Hillary Clinton, and as sexist as it may sound, I believe she is damaged goods. Gene Boscacci, San Francisco Yes. Today people want peace, and a woman would think of war as a last resort, utilizing her intuitive powers rather than the male's dominant, aggressive ego...

Move over Hillary Clinton. Another left-wing Democratic woman is reportedly eyeing a White House run in 2004 - none other than recently defeated Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. The Progessive Review quotes political observer David Weigel reporting that McKinney has been approached by a Green Party activists who see her as a possible replacement for Ralph Nader, who ran for president in 1996 and 2000. And several Greenies say McKinney is giving the idea some serious thought. "She's very disillusioned with the Democrats," said Jason Kafoury, an organizer with Democracy Rising, a group that Nader founded. "She's looking at a number...
