Can and Should A Woman be President? (Part 1)

As you all hopefully know, Hillary Rodham Clinton, recently announced that she is running for president as a democratic candidate for our country, the United States of America. All I can think is, wouldn’t it be great to have our first woman president?

I can’t seem to think there would be anything wrong with it, but there is already much resistance to the idea of having a woman as president, but why? Look at all the women presidents who have already had their terms in power:

So if countries around the world have succeeded with women presidents, why couldn’t the USA do it? Aren’t we “supposed” to be the leading country in morals and political standards for the rest of the world?

Could it be because:

IT IS TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
