House Minority Pelosi leader “prays” Hillary Clinton will run for President in 2016

Ugh:

Nancy Pelosi is reaching out to a higher power to get Hillary Clinton to run in 2016.

β€œI pray that Hillary Clinton decides to run for president of the United States,” Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Minority leader, said during a public appearance in Little Rock, Ark.,Β accordingΒ to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

β€œNobody has been first lady and senator and now secretary of state,” she added. β€œPutting everything aside that she is a woman, she’d be the best qualified person that we’ve seen [in recent years].”

[…]

Think of the message it sends to women in the world β€” the most powerful figure in the world is a woman, and she also happens to be the most qualified for the job,” Pelosi said, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

“Most qualified” in what way? The “most qualfied” Democrat? Β Why is it important for the most “powerful figure in the world” to be a Β woman? Would she feel the same way if that “most powerful figure in the world” was Sarah Palin? Of course not.

I hate identity politics. o=>
