Laura Bush: U.S. Ready for Woman President

Laura Bush, loved by conservatives for her intelligence, grace and elegance, and attacked by liberals for being too demure and genteel, believes that the United States is ready for a woman president:

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.

An interesting footnote is that Mrs. Bush gave this statement while touring the National Museum of Women in the Arts. "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," writes CNN.
