Just curious, does anyone take issue with a woman being President in the new ABC show, "Commander in Chief"? Just curious. I don't, but some people on here I'm sure do.
As it's easy to figure, this show is nothing but ABC's attempt to get Hillary elected as president by trying to show America how great it would be to have a female president. Other than that, most things that have been in movies, books, and such have come to pass. From old sci fi shows we now have Space Ships in Outer Space. From 10,000 leagues under the sea, we now have submarines. Though America has not officialy had a female as President, there have been books and shows that have a woman as president in the future. The X-Men cartoon done by Fox in the early 90's had a female for president. Both movies Sudden Impact and The Fith Element had a black male for president.
But I say again, this is ABC's attempt to get Hillary elected for 2008 making society feel that it's time to have a woman as the Commander in Chief. However, the show could back fire on her if Rice were to run against her.
As of now, the biggest issue for America having a female in office is our policy with other countries. Culturaly many nations still find women to be beneath men and refuse to work out agreements and terms with everyone but men. Thus the biggest reason why Margret Thatcher only served one term as PM for England.
I myself just vote. I've voted for ppl not because of there age, race, and gender, but due to there experience, leadership, speeches, and debates. May the best person win for 2008. Unfortunatly the best person rarly is the one who even runs. So as always, we'll still have to vote for the lessor to two evils.
Um hate to dampen your flow there mate but Maggie served three terms as PM. She had to step down during her third term, primarily because she introduced the poll tax which was a tax for the rich hurting the poorer off. As for foriegn policy, nobody refused to deal with her, she'd have ripped thier b*lls off as the Argentinians found out........
