My nine year old daughter just asked "Who was the first girl President?"

[Fuzz]

I said "we haven't had one yet."

"Oh my! What a tragedy."

Heh.

[DontTreadOnMe]

1. Liz Cheney?

Hell just froze over...

[Fuzz]

2. That would be a tragedy for sure.

3. Edith Wilson (unelected) nt

[eridani]

5. Followed by Nancy Reagan, ditto n/t

[blaze]

4. Pretty cool she just assumed there'd been one. :)

[Buzz Clik]

6. Eleanor Roosevelt?

[lunatica]

7. You're obviously bringing her up right!

for her to just assume there ever was a girl president speaks volumes

[Fuzz]

9. Never thought of it that way, and as a stay at home dad, THANKS!

That means a lot.

[lunatica]

13. Hey, Dad is the first man in everyone's life (even if he isn't there)

8. Hillary

Was so close, but no cigar, or was it the cigar?

[stray cat]

10. or a nine year old not knowing?

[Statistical]

11. Ouch. Kids teach us so much.

Kids believing in fairness, it never occurred to her that after 200+ years there wouldn't be a single female President.

Maybe that means when her generation is the dominant voting block there will be.

[backtoblue]

12. maybe she'll be the first!

She assumes that there must have been one already, so hopefully her generation and teachings will finally overcome sexual discrimination. nt
