RSS 2.0 FeedThe Mommy State
by Doug MataconisJust in case you were wondering what life under Clinton II might be like:
WASHINGTON – Sen. Hillary Clinton told a TV audience of 3 million women Wednesday that the nation has “never had a mother” be president.
Appearing on “The View” to push the 10th anniversary reissue of her book “It Takes a Village,” Clinton chatted about family Christmas and raising kids these days.
The former first lady noted, “We’ve never had a mother who ever ran for or held that position.”
I can see it now. An entire nation governed under the rules of “Mother, May I ?”
H/T: QandO
Is your point here that mothers shouldn’t be president?

My point is that we don’t need someone who takes the attitude that she must ask as our Mother upon entering the White House. We aren’t a nation of helpless children despite what Ms. Rodham Clinton may think.
