An Ex 1st Ladies Fantasy
January 31, 2006
Americans are growing ‘impatient” as they wait for a woman to be elected president, 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Saturday night.
“People are saying,’ Well, at least we’re ready,’” Clinton told interviewer Jane Pauley, as the two held a public chat for charity in San Francisco.
“There’s a feeling that it’s time,” she added.
Then, in quotes picked up the New York Sun, the former first lady said she detected “a certain impatience” to see a female president following the election of women to similar roles in other countries.
Despite Mrs. Clinton’s claims, a Gallup poll found last week that 51 percent of Americans had already made up their minds not to vote for her.
Hollywood did their best to lather up American’s appetite for a woman Prez, but money is money. “Commander in Chief†started out as the season’s most talked-about new show, but the initial hype didn’t translate into solid ratings – and ABC has shelved the White House drama.
