American perspective of having a woman president. Please contribute.

I think that as with any candidate for office their are the normal pros and cons. I know that some view having a woman president differently and she is held to a different set of standards. However I would like to see a high quality person, that is a true leader. Not a coward doing what the minds that be tell him. Someone that is truly there for the better of our society and our country. Someone that knows what they are doing.

Do I like the thought of a women president.. Very mixed feelings. I dont think that all woman can handle the job. However I do like Hilary Clinton. I think that she is a strong, independent woman who has proven that she can do a valid and good job in office. As for Bin Laden becoming more aggressive, I had never really thought about that but it is a high possibility because of the beleifs that he holds about women. I am not sure of how some of the insecure men in our government could handle ultimately working for a woman.

The men of the present administration have made such a mess of it everyone knows it takes a woman to clean up after a man another man could not do it!

Wouldnt mind a women prez but Hilary is the wrong one she back paddles on a couple of issues that didnt stem will with me. Now Ben Laden might think he could get away with more but women are mothers and have you seen a bad child really get away with much if the mom pays attention?

it really doesn't matter to me whether the president is male,female,whatever.
i only care that they're a good president.
if they stick to their promises,and don't tax us out of existance.

as far as bin laden goes..i think he'd hate us no matter who was sitting in that seat.

I don't think that you should use Hillary at all in your paper. She is not a great example of a candidate for President being a woman.
We need a stronger, better spoken, and more powerful woman in office. She is too emotional and not ready for the job.
Americans have a problem with her unclear views and bad health care ideas. She has no shot at ever winning the candidacy let alone the election.
The USA has never had a female president anyway.
If a woman got elected, I think the main people who would benefit from the right female candidate are women and children. I wish I could say everyone would benefit but that is simply not the case in American politics.
I would base your paper on your president in your country.

I do not think she is an ideal leader - not solely based on her being female. I am more traditional in my view points than a lot of americans, however.

I wonder - if she were to become madame president would bill be first man? actually he would probably be known as mr president as being a former president. so they would be madame and mr president, I suppose - her title coming before his because hers would be an active "reign"

Let Us give women a chance. they could do what men could not do.

I think a woman should be President. Not Hilary Clinton, though. A woman President of the US would be great. I would make a great female president. Whenever I got PMS, I would say "Forget this mess with the UN, I'm bombing the snot out of such-and-such place!" And nothing would be left but a crater. Then the world would realize that you don't mess around with us because we're really not a bunch of puss!es after all. Seriously, though, I don't think it matters much who the president is, or the gender of the president, so long as he/she ends the "war" in Iraq and brings our gasoline prices back down from $4.05 a gallon to, oh say, well under $2. Which was the price it was before Bush the Oil Baron took office. And about Bin Laden, screw him. Women are not 2nd class, and everyone except the Muslims realize it. All of them need to catch a clue and stop living in the Middle Ages, not just Bin Laden. He and Bush are just playing games that are costing soldiers lives, taxpayers money, a lot of time and energy, and driving up the oil prices. Who's making the money from it? Not the U.S. as a whole. Not Iraq or Saudi Arabia as a whole. Just the ones who already have money. Pockets lined with gold, made off the backs of the working classes and the lives of great men and women.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. How much worse could a woman do than the men that have been in office. Its just that Americans as a whole are too conservative and traditional. The President has always been a man, it should continue to be a man, they believe.

I wouldn't mind having a woman president, but I do not want Clinton in office. In the beginning of the polling, I was torn between her and Obama, but Obama has definitely pulled ahead in my favor since the Ohio Debate. Clinton wants to instate a law that will make it mandatory for everyone to have health insurance, but no plan to make it affordable for those who are just above the income range to get government assistance. Also, she has flip-flopped back and forth for and against the Iraq war. Its not the fact that she's a woman that makes me not want her in office. Its her platform, and past record.

Clinton is a strong, tough women. She also comes with a past president at her side so I think world leaders will see him in the White House as well. A suggestion, compare her to Margaret Thatcher in your paper.
