Laura Bush: America soon will have a woman in Oval Office

WHITE HOUSE First lady Laura Bush expects that soon the person playing her role in the White House won't be a woman. She's predicting that the U-S will likely elect its first woman president "in the next few terms."

Bush tells C-N-N "it will happen for sure." In fact, the first lady says she'd "love to see" Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pursue the job.

Mrs. Bush is heading to Africa tomorrow night, where she'll attend the inauguration of Liberia's first-ever woman president. She's also visiting Ghana and Nigeria to promote education and AIDS treatment.

I agree, Laura. Right after the Dems win back the house in 2006, impeach your husband's and Cheney's ass. Then Nancy Pelosi will be our president. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

8. Not if the Republicans have anything to say about it
Even Rice will never get the Republican nomination, as she is pro-choice.

Remember when Liz Dole's Presidential campaign collapsed before it started? She was even losing to Steve Forbes.

Expect Kindasleezy Rice to do the same.

24. I'm afraid Hillary would not win
at this point in time. It is the pukes' wet dream that the Dems run Hillary because they figure she would be soundly defeated. For many on the Dems' side, Hillary has too many ties with the DLC, and is presently a supporter of the war in Iraq.

If a woman is to be nominated on the left, it would have to be someone with a lot more popularity in general, and someone who would piss off the pukes to the max.

the one to see RVW overturned.

I hate the cackling bitch...and as for Condi...she is a babbling witch. Of course, whenever the cabal decides to install her, they will rig the elections, so I guess Laura knows what she is talking about....

25. Let us examine the possibilities
This will have some nastiness in general, however, these are not my opinions, but the general opinion of those who would likely be voting. So please don't flame me--these are not my opinion!

Condi: She is a minority woman, regardless of her stature as SOS. Many people still have prejudices against blacks, and she would not be likely to take away votes from a white male.

Hillary: To many on the left, she is too moderate, and she reminds many of her ties to the DLC. Besides, many idiot sheeple will automatically reject the wife of the president who played naughty in the white house.

Boxer: While Boxer has made many strides as a California Senator, she carries some historical baggage which will likely be a deciding factor at some point. For those of you without knowledge of her past in California, she was at one point a chief culprit in spending money on her congressional credit card that was not allowed.

Feinstein: Forget it. She's too moderate, too unavailable a lot of the time, and is unlikely to get a lot of votes outside of CA.

Pelosi: Needs to expose herself more to the rest of the country, whether in congressional presence or national focus. People outside of her congressional district barely know her, unless you travel in the circles that people here at DU might travel.


We all know what happened with Carol Moseley Braun in the last primary, and it will happen again with nearly any woman running for the presidency. Perhaps if some politician campaigned like McGovern did and takes on a woman as vice president, it would be more acceptable, and the transition to president from VP would be an acceptable one. However to have any woman run for the highest office, would not succeed until the knuckle dragging pukes nationwide gave up their right to vote.

While there are many countries worldwide who can accept a woman in the highest office, the US is still too filled with people who are intolerant, chauvinistic and non progressive. We claim to be on top of the world, but it's difficult to assess that when it comes to women and their role in society.

48. NOW that is the kind of analysis I am talking about!
This was the best comment on the whole thread! I would like to add, not only wouldn't Condi get as much of the WM Repub vote as they think she would, but they also overestimate how much of the black vote she would take from the Democratic side (VERY LITTLE)!! No, Democratic woman could win, because the Repug women wouldn't leave their male "Kings" and jump to the other side in any kind of numbers to make a difference, and she would be seen as being too liberal and lefty (radical) to win the general election anyway whether it had a ring of truth or not. So, that leaves the only possiblity of the WF Repug candidate. Yes, it could happen, especially if the Reptilicans keep honing their skills at stealing elections. However, I don't see the Cowboy-UP party letting go of their tight grip on the of the good'ol boy network anytime soon. I agree totally with the last paragraph of the previous post, no need in repeating it.

35. No, they probably already phoned in their order for Condi votes though
she would be even more transparently a puppet than Bush.

She would be the first president people would ask, "Yeah, but can we talk to your boss?"

Laura, put down your Xanax/alcohol/whatever else you are taking & have a dose of reality. You know damned well that there is still a lot of misogyny in the U.S., just like there's still a lot of racism in the U.S., and your little wet dream of CondoSLEAZEA in the White House "ain't" going to happen.

BTW, Pickles, you certainly are a good little wife #2 in order to promote wife #1, CondoSLEAZA. LOL.

39. Tinfoil hat time....
I think this is her saying to the nation, "be aware, you are fucked, because I know who is going to win via another fixed election". Condi, I never ever had an original thought of my own, Rice.

I only say this because, pickles used to be a dem, that is until she took big big big swollows of the kool-ade and had a kool-ade IV set up in her room.

Like I said, tinfoil hat time.
