I dislike Hillary and Mrs Obama. Having said that, it is almost impossible for a woman to manifest any ambitions or desires of any type without being ripped apart. We still have the notion that femininity is lost when a woman raises her hand or her voice. The only way a woman can hold onto male approval is to keep her voice down, or better yet, shut up, and try for nothing, reach for nothing, fight for nothing.
Laura Bush is a perfect example. She's demure, ladylike, and respectable. She can afford to be. She isn't running for anything. She holds a position best held by someone who can smile nicely, hold herself gracefully, and for the most part, keep her mouth shut.
I'm not criticizing Laura Bush; I like her. I'm not defending Hillary; I dislike her. But the fact remains that men do not like women who try for... anything, really. In the end, the game remains the same. We are trophies, helpmeets, maybe someone's inspiration... but men do hate us when we compete. Sad truth.
Okay, rant over.

She looked like Bill there in the beginning with the finger pointing.

She reminds me of an angry hornet delivering a venomous sting.

Ya know....I watch that clip and all I see...all I can think of is, Geraldine Ferraro and the way she got buried in 1984.
Coincidentally, (or not?) she is involved in Shrillary's campaign.

I think they all (men and women alike) look like goofs when they raise their voice and rant and rave. My memories of Reagan where quiet anger “well - there you go again...”. GW Bush is generally quiet when angry in the press. Same goes for Condi Rice and Maggie Thatcher I believe.

All kidding aside, I think you’re being unfair to Ferraro. She was never that unlikeable.

We are trophies, helpmeets, maybe someone's inspiration... but men do hate us when we compete. Sad truth.Maggie Thatcher was a trophy? Jean Kirkpatrick was a trophy? I believe we want the same things in women politicians that we do in men...strength, honesty, capability, and conservative principles. Hillary is simply a horrible human being. She would be a horrible person even if she was blessed like Ron Jeremy (PBUH).

Two models of how to be a successful woman: Condeleeza Rice and Oprah Winfrey. Although I don’t like Oprah’s crying at the drop of a hat (she knows her audience), she would run circles around most men. And Condie, what can you say? She’s just amazing.

Didn’t men like Margaret Thatcher? Was she screechy, demure, or something else?
Perhaps there is a third way.

Thatcher and Rice. Yes. Thank you. I feel better now.

For the life of me, whenever I hear that voice, I think of the Pterodactyl from the opening credits of "Jonny Quest":

Easy. They have deluded themselves enough to believe that she would actually make a good president. Sending her out to speak is a natural... they’ve drank the kool-aid and believe every word that this woman says.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
LOL...at the very least. :)
