European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 2, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the stars an stripes tuesday september 2, 1980 of 4-444 h 4 4 h 4, arguments for having a woman As president i get mad just thinking about it Here we Are on the Brink of another presidential election and everybody a still overlooking the obvious. The obvious ii obvious since everybody always hates All the candidates and since the Candi dates Are always so mediocre and since one of them always gets to be president and since that president always ends up doing a Lousy Job and since that same Lousy president frequently gets re elected then it follows that a woman could do the Job. What you want a somebody Medio Cre deceitful temperamental incompetent and possibly stupid. Right Well pick a Wom an. I be noticed that the Only time people Standin Awe of the president is after he s dead. From that Long View the fellow takes on a Little Gran Deur. But at the moment the whole business ingoing on there is nothing but Universal snicker the Public knows that the Guy in the Whitehouse is not so hot. Even with All the state dinners the High level conferences the Dar Blue suits and the Limos we know that there but for the Grace of apathy and or discrimination go we. The evidence is Clear anybody can get to be president. We have elected at least one and sometimes More of the following a general lawyer College dropout alcoholic tailor Gover nor classic professor sunday school superintendent postal clerk judge political science professor insurance Salesman mining Engi Neer haberdasher High school Public speaking teacher football player and Peanut Farmer. Why not a woman?1 can see it now a Long line of women presi dents from every typically female walk of life housewife Secretary arum majorette cheerleader nurse Beauty contest Winner Inte rior decorator Ballerina beautician socialite Bridge player. Since the presidential Slot has always Bee filled with Mere humans i have Long suspected that a woman could do the Job. She could sur round herself with Brilliant advisers the kind that old us into the Bay of pigs fiasco Viet Nam inflation joblessness and Urban decay. She could go up and Down in the polls exactly the Way males do one Day she could be popular and the next the scum of the Earth on Day she could be presidential material and the next an incompetent imbecile one Day she could be Liberal and the next conservative one Day she could be pompous and arrogant an the next Humble and conciliatory. But what Ever she might be she would still look sound act and think like a regular human being. I appreciate the Public s deep seated fear about having a woman president. For example women would not be Able to grasp the Tough Complex issues such As the More Power a Tat cat has the less he wants to give it up. Women Are also Likely to be temperamental or weak or immoral sort of in the tradition of Frank Ike Jack Dick or Jerry. The families of women would suffer from neglect sort of the Way Pat Nixon Betty Ford Mamie Eisenhower Bess Truman or Eleanor Roosevelt suffered. But never mind. A woman that ii a really1 Sharp if it suit 1.t.kaoi6h 6uwphl w Mike president could hire a Media consultant to help her overcome these obstacles. To my mind the time for a woman president is Ripe. We have reached the Bottom of the barrel. We have put our lives in the hands of racists rabble routers drunks snobs adulterers business failures intellectual weaklings and crooked lawyers. Why not a woman of course it will be hard to think of a Suita ble woman candidate one who measures up thigh male standards set by previous administrations. I have to rack my brain but a few women do come to mind any one of which would beat the pants off the likes of Warren g. Herding or Calvin Coolidge.
