Non White or a Woman President - Which will come first?

I think a woman will be first, I think that Hillary Clinton would be an excellant choice. She has all the attributes, she is smart and in touch with the people, it will be a hard road as the repuglicans hate her so much but I think she can overcome that as more and more repuglican politics is being exposed for what it is, Corrupt.

The truth is that America is not ready for a female president, like they are not ready for a black president.  You have to realize that majority of America is still in the mentality that this country was founded on (White, Christians, Rich Men).  If you live in a major city, you have more diversity.  But most of America is not like that...its made of small towns and ideologies of generations upon generations (women belong in the home or "to know her place").  It will take time before America can accept full DIVERSITY....until that time we as a people have to fight for these things.

Probably female.  Hilary Clinton.  Nothing against blacks, just not aware of any that are planning on running next time.

but iamgirl, what if the female president was so craptacular that we never got a good one elected because more people became biased against the ability of a woman to hold that position? i'd rather wait for a good one, but if it were two candidates who were about equal, i would vote for the woman instead. unless both candidates were absolutely awful, then i would want to man so women didnt get more misrepresnted.

I don't think there should be a women president. There are too many countries that look down on women and consider them a sign of weakness. If we have a women president then we will have ALOT of problems. \n\n\nBut if I had to choose which is very painful. But Rice. Clinton is the biggest B*tch in the world! Pure evil

Let's hope we don't have to find that out.\n\nI think it would be so sad, that the first woman president of the USA would be Hilary Clinton, surely there are honorable, honest ladies out there that are ready to make the grade. JetDoc has her characterized perfectly, just go look at her voting record, she would sell her soul (quite possibly has) for political gain.

Yes there will be a black president as well as a woman US president. It just won't be anytime soon.\nIn fact, there might be a hispanic US president before a black president.

I dont know why the first respondent felt the need to laugh at your question, thats immature. \n\nI dont know if there will be a president who is any race other than white but I definitely think its something that should happen in the near future. I believe if a person of any race can be a citizen in this country and contribute to the economy, then they should be eligible for presidency.

A woman is more likely to become president first,because of the money involved in campaigning.Its easier to marry into money than earn it and white billionaires are much more common than black ones,who seldom seem to inherit that kind of bucks,but usually have to work hard for it.Of course things are different in other lands and places.

I'd love to see her as the first female president of the US.  Bill Clinton, I think was one of the best leaders in the world, so it would be great to see his legacy continue through his wife.

We have that situation over here in Germany with Angela Merkel being first female Chancellor. See, we don't even have a word for that :o). Her husband is referred to as Herr Merkel, Mr. Merkel. Probably the female President's hubby will be called Mr. Clinton also. In that case maybe President Hillary Clinton with her husband former Preisdent Clinton. Successful clan, huh?

Yes there will be a woman president someday - of course it will happen. Whoever is qualified (male or female) will become elected, and at this point there isn't anyone standing out. While I know a woman will become President, I sure hope the first isn't Hillary Clinton - Condi would be a better choice.

I can't think of ONE woman qualified to hold the office of President.  Come to think of it...there aren't to many men either....\nThis race will be an interesting one!

We already had a woman president, Hillary. lol\nMickey Mouse could win the presidency next term on the Democratic ticket after these last few years with W.\nIf a woman becomes president, what do they call her husband? The first gentleman?\nIt's not a matter of "should a woman be president." It's not important that we elect a woman, so that we can finally say we did it. What needs to happen is to elect the most effective leader, whether it is a man or a woman. That's not so easy to do. Usually, instead of a leader, we get a politician. A politician is someone who cuts deals, trades influence, and always if it will benefit him or her. That makes politicians self-serving. A leader is someone who does the right thing for the country, whether it is good for him or her personally or not. We haven't had one of those in a long time. Harry Truman 60 years ago. Or maybe John Kennedy 45 years ago. \n\n\nThere are several women out there right now with the nads to be president. Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.? One way to look at it is being a good mother. To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth. \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.

Possibly (I am 31), but she will have to prove to everyone that she is not ruled by just her emotions.  If I don't see one, I think my daughter will (age 11).  I also think that the first woman president will be due to a situation like on the TV show - the VP taking over for a dead President.  America would go for a woman VP before a woman President.

Yes, I think eventually a woman will become president.  However, I don't think this is going to happen until other countries can take women seriously.  In countries, third world especially, women are less valued than men.  Until those countries value and give equality to women, a female president is unlikely.  Other countries just wouldn't listen to a woman; they may even be offended by it.  \nI think a black president will happen before a woman president personally, the exception of course would be if a black woman was elected like Condi.  I seriously doubt that she'll run though.
