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.
βI pray that Hillary Clinton decides to run for president of the United States,β Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Minority leader, said during a public appearance in Little Rock, Ark.,Β accordingΒ to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
βNobody has been first lady and senator and now secretary of state,β she added. βPutting everything aside that she is a woman, sheβd be the best qualified person that weβve seen [in recent years].β

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,β 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.
