Laura Bush: U.S. ready for a woman president

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Laura Bush, wife of President Bush, said Tuesday the United States is ready to have a woman president -- preferably a Republican.

She offered her opinion while touring an exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts with Marta Sahagun de Fox, wife of Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Eliane Karp de Toledo, wife of Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo. The exhibit features archaeological finds from Mexico and Peru that show that, long before Europeans arrived, women served as warriors, governors, artists, poets and priestesses.

"They really show what a heritage we have in our hemisphere, a really very, very organized and intellectual society," Mrs. Bush said.

During an exchange with reporters, Mrs. Bush was asked if the United States was prepared to have a woman in the Oval Office.

"Sure, absolutely," she replied. "I'm voting for the Republican woman."

Mrs. Bush previously has expressed support for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for president, but Rice has said repeatedly she's not going to run.

So what do you think? Is America ready for a woman president? Why or why not? If not, how soon (if ever) will it be before we are ready?

Are we looking at Hilary 2008?

Sure, but a politician is a politician rather they are a woman or a man. So, in the end, it does not matter.

Not sure I'd like the president to be a woman.......pros and cons........

My vote: Jodie Foster
Vice President: Diane Lane

Wow, what a combo right there. I don't know how much stuff would get done but with their acting history, there's sure to be some killer Michael Moore documentaries abound.

Hell no, anything but that old hag. If had to chose a woman for U.S. President I'll go with:

President: Jenna Jameson
Vice President: Tera Patrick

...

Yes! I'm serious...why lookin at my post like that?

Sure, have a woman in the White House. As long as her last name isn't Bush.

Or Cheney for that matter.

Though I'm not saying a women shouldn't be president..............I think it would mean many changes in the outlook of things..............Besides a president has many advisors to protect them..............lol.........yeah, that's what they're for............Could guard against pms KILLINGS.........LOL;

Yeah, but not Hillary. She's definately a wolf in sheeps clothing. A total conservative nut.

i give a shit what laura bush says.

no seriously

i'm not being sarcastic

[/sarcasm]

she probably thought that up the same we she thought up all those supposed literary programs. She looked at what was snoring on the other side of the bed.

I never liked Hilary..........I don't know if it was her honesty or her secret-ism according to souces.............Just don't like her.

The minute she becomes U.S. President all video games in America will be burn...kinda like what they did with the books in Nazi Germany....oye!

Well Bill Clinton was the greatest republican president we've ever had. (focussing on his policies and beliefs).
