Obama: America afraid of powerful women
By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) • 9/18/16 9:11 PM
President Obama, telling a Manhattan fundraiser that Hillary Rodham Clinton will "carry on" his initiatives, said America hasn't had a female president because the country is skittish about "powerful women."
However, speaking to the liberal donors, he said he is confident that the country is ready to get over its hangup.
"There's a reason why we haven't had a woman president," he said, according to a press poll report on the event. "We as a society still grapple with what it means to see powerful women. And it still troubles us in a lot of ways, unfairly, and that expresses itself in all sorts of ways," said Obama, the first black president and who beat Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries.
He concluded, "The good news is, despite all that, I have confidence in the American people that we're going to make the right decision and we're going to win this thing."
