A strong woman
If people are talking of a stong woman then really we can look no further than Michelle Obama, she can relate to every mother with her young children and has and will push barack to lead in more rights for women in the work place to enable care for kids and time off for pregnancy. Not all his votes were 'present' in illinois and he has stated that it was occasions where the local Dem party were voting tactically or he wanted the bill improved. A particular rape bill was also voted this way as he wanted the bill to be stronger for rape victim care. Nothing will be abandoned in the cause of women's issues under Barack, I feel certain of that. As with healthcare he is focusing on reducing the cost than just creating a plan and making everyone take it to call it universal, as he reduced these costs in Illinois. I can see a more positive role model in Michelle Obama for woemn than what is clearly a very divisive role model in HRC. Dividing on gender is just as unhealthy as dividing along race. the beauty of Baracks campaign is he will move away from this.

A woman leader is no first internationally but this clearly would be and the world would notice and respect America for this.

3. She'll be an outstanding first lady.
Tall, intelligent, charming. Things we haven't had in a first lady in 30 years.

8. Excuse me. She's running for FIRST LADY NOT PRESIDENT.
Listen kid, you seem really young. But your comments are really sexist. Yes, I'm sure Michelle Obama is a really nice lady. But she's not going to be the first FEMALE FIRST LADY. You don't get it.

It's ridiculous to say that Obama is going to do less for women than Clinton. It's just silly.
