snip of article:

“If you look at the world and look at the problems, it’s usually old people — usually old men — not getting out of the way,” he contended. “It’s important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life. You are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power.”

1. I would love to see a President Pelosi, give that side look to Putin and the rest of the

dictators that the current resident has taken up with. She is so strong.

I have said it before and will say it again. The music selections of this community are second to none. 💯

4. I said the same thing and got jumped on here

I was told that thinking women could fix this mess was fantastical thinking. That there were just as many awful women politicians as male politicians. And reverse discrimination (which I was Not implying nor is Obama) is just as bad.

I took that criticism, now you need to jump on Obama the same way.......

6. I'm not 100% sold on this one.

I see where he's coming from. But as Madeline Albright has said "Anybody who thinks that a World run by women would be a peaceful oasis doesn't remember high school."

Unfortunately, women are human too. And prone to all that entails.

But yeah. I get where he's coming from.
