First Lady Michelle Obama Says America is Ready for a Female President

US First Lady Michelle Obama says in remarks published Friday that America is ready for a woman president, but would not comment on prospects for Hillary Clinton getting the job.

Obama’s comments came in an interview with Parade magazine, excerpts of which were published on its website.

Asked if she thinks the country will see a female president in her lifetime, the wife of President Barack Obama said: “Yes, I think the country is ready for it. It’s just a question of who’s the best person out there.”

She declined to comment on the prospects for Clinton running to succeed Obama in 2016.

Pat Buchanan Would Rather Not See a Female President

The Republican party is an all male enterprise… preferably all white men. There are a few women sprinkled around, but they are mostly regulated to the outermost corners of the party, along with the few minorities that call themselves Republican.

Based on their recent assault on women, it would seem that the men in the party prefer their women seen and not heard, so it was no surprise when Pat Buchanan, a former Republican Presidential candidate – expressed his wishes that the longer it took America to see a female president, the better off we’ll be.

During a panel discussion on PBS over the weekend, host John McLaughlin asked Buchanan when the U.S. would elect the first female president.

“2040 or 2050,” Buchanan predicted.

“That late?” McLaughlin wondered.

“Let’s hope so,” Buchanan replied with a chuckle.

“They’re not even considering any woman for vice president on the Republican ticket,” he later added. “I was joking about 2040!”
