America Is Not Ready for a Woman President.
America is not ready for a woman President.
A woman for President is definitely a debatable topic. There are many opinions on this subject today, especially with Hillary Rodham Clinton running for president in 2008. In other countries woman have been making great leaders for centuries. We as Americans should be more concerned with the individual's believes, experience, and morals instead of sex of the individual.

For example Ireland's President Mary McAleese, Finland's President Tarja Halonen, Jamaica's Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller, and United Kingdom of Great Britain Queen Elizabeth II.

As well as the fact that the right woman could and would posses the type of rationale thinking, power, as well as the smarts it takes to run our country.

But the majority of Americans still feel our country is not strong enough or ready for our first woman commander in chief. Voting a woman into the office would show our enemies a major sign of weakness, leaving the United States more open to terrorist's attacks.
