No Female Presidents

Despite how quickly Mr. Obama is to divulge the fact that the missus wears the pants in their relationship, she is still more likely to appear on the cover of Us or Ebony or Radar than she is The Economist.

It's also more likely that people will talk about who designed her dress rather than what she thinks on health care reform.

Fair enough, she is the first lady, but this conundrum illustrates the fundamental problem that women have - and will continue to have - when running for office: Become masculine a la Hilary Clinton or be feminine and have porn made in your honor.

I'd hate to see what happens when an intelligent, articulate, attractive woman tries to run for president (think Sarah Palin minus the stupid accent, plus brains).
