Related: About this forumWill Hillary be the USA's Mom?
Just reading about the German Chancellor Angela Merkel 'mutti' = mommy
Obviously the Christian Democrats are towards the right - don't agree with their policies etc. etc. but the question is does America need a mother? Will having a mom president promote a 'feel good factor.'

(34,582 posts)7. I don't want her as president...
that being said, calling her our mom is a bit mysoginistic

She's not my mom or related to me in any way.
