Thread: Is the world ready for this?

I may be at risk of sounding chauvinistic in what I am trying to convey.
So I will first point out that I have not a problem in the world of woman being equally capable of the job.
The American Presidency.
It will be particularly difficult to remain unbiased because the most likely candidate is Hillary Rodham Clintion. There are many views that she has that don't follow suite with my own beliefs.
So let's forget about her and try to gauge how the world would react towards a woman president. whether that be Clinton or Paris Hilton for that matter.
Much of the world does not respect woman in such a high profile position. Arguably the most powerful person in the world.
Yes, there are are countries that have woman in high positions, but they are merely figure heads, as other countries know this. The United states president is in large part a figure head too, however no where near that of any other country.
Our country is sooo set on change that they, the people may grasp at anything new. Enough so that it may cloud our judgement
It is at a most precedent of times. What we have are two front runners that have never held a position in the Oval Office.
An African American and a woman.
In the face of racing nations like Iran, North Korea and most obvious Iraq and even Russia positioning for power, will this significant amount of change be so paramount that it will in effect take away our power to negotiate, demand and gain respect from a global aspect?

Sorry -I did not proof read my thoughts as I am multi tasking.
