Barack Obama Envisions a Day When Female Presidents are Common

Did Obama just endorse Hillary Clinton?

Barack Obama may envision a day when a female presidents are common, but I bet he didn’t feel that way in 2008 when he was running for the Democrat nominee against Hillary Clinton. I actually envision and dream of a day when a president of the United States is not a divisive, political, ideologue hack and one that puts the US Constitution first and remembers that it is a government of, by and for the people not the other way around. Can we just have a statesman and not a political hack? Can we have a president that loves their country and not one who goes around apologizing for it?

I could care less what gender or color a president is, I just ask for a qualified one who actually takes their oath of office seriously.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The Hill:

President Obama said Tuesday that people will someday be amazed a woman had not served as president for so long in comments that came close to publicly backing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“I want young girls and boys to come here 10, 20, 100 years from now to know that women fought for equality,” he said at the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum in Washington. Obama designated the Capitol Hill site as a national monument to honor the women’s rights movement.

“I want them to be astonished there was ever a time when women were vastly outnumbered in the boardroom or in Congress, that there was ever a time when a woman had never sat in the Oval Office.”

Without mentioning the current presidential race, Obama said he does not know how long it will take for a woman to be elected. “But I know we are getting closer to that day because of the work of generations of active, committed citizens.”

Since 1929, the Sewall-Belmont House has been the headquarters of the National Woman’s Party, established in the early 1900s to fight for equal rights for women.

The president made the remark a day after Vice President Biden spoke about the importance of electing a female president.
