Madam President

I have been noticing some hub-bub about Geena Davis' new show about a woman president. Since the U.S. has not yet had a female president, I can understand all the buzz about this show. However, its a bigger deal to me that the U.S. hasn't had a female president yet.

The United States touts itself the land of freedom and progressive thinking. Yet, it lags way behind many other countries in things like having a female leader. Why is that? The world has had great female leaders like Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, etc.

I don't know how people can keep a straight face when they say a woman's monthly menses or emotionality stop them from voting for a woman. Oh pleeeeeeeeease.

When it comes to mental strength and endurance, women are strong enough to run a country. Lets face it, women have breasts because men couldn't handle a mammogram. Women have babies because men couldn't handle child birth.

We understand the economy better than anyone since we do most the grocery shopping, clothing children, and filling the SUV or minivan with gasoline.

While men have tunnel vision focus that makes it difficult to handle more than one thing at a time (like finding Bin Laden AND searching for WMD), women are natural multi-taskers. We can be extremely organized, efficient and practical. The emotional part helps insure we DON'T push "The Button" because, as natural nurturers, we have trouble with "collateral damage". That doesn't mean we won't strike when provoked. In the wild, its always the mother animal you need to watch out for as she'll do whatever to protect her family.

So come on America, open your mind to the idea of a woman president. Encourage your daughters to believe that not only can they be good at math, but they could rule the country too.
