Would you have wanted a woman president in the oval office during the cuban missile crisis ?

Question

cynical kennedy avoided a nuclear holocaust keeping the hawks in check that wanted all out nuclear war and you call his actions not cool and action of dispair ?

Answer 1

I like Kennedy but he wasnt a great president. You seem to forget his mediocre performance at Bay of Pigs. Kennedy and his brother had secretly agreed to withdraw their missiles from Turkey in order for U.S.S.R. to do the same in Cuba. The American public did not find this until 1991. What JFK did at that moment was an action of despair not of cool, logic thought. He basically became weak at threat of nuclear war and gave the Soviets what they wanted. His performance was not stellar at the Cuban Missile crisis.Maybe a woman would have done it better or maybe not. No one can really tell.

Answer 2

Well, there wasn't one, so I guess there isn't a point to woulda coulda shoulda.

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

Well I don't think women had enough experience in politics at that point, but if they had, I would not have a problem with it.

Answer 5

Absolutely not; I don't want a female president anyway, esp in a crisis situation like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Aside from her background, I did not want Hillary because women are far too emotional and prey to PMS and out of control hormones.

Answer 6

Of course, if she was qualified.

Ask if if I would have wanted George W. Bush in the Oval Office during the Cuban missile crisis?

Answer 7

Maybe there should have been one in office during the bay of pigs.

Margaret Thatcher finished the three day week and the constant strikes when neither Harold Wilson or James Callaghan couldn't.

It depends on the person, not the number of Y chromosones. Look at George Bush. Male, can barely speak in public. Imagine him in office during the Cuban Missile Crisis...

Answer 8

Why do you think everyone cares about Americans government? We couldn't care less if your president was an alien!

Answer 9

If she was qualified enough to handle it, I wouldn't care.

Answer 10

The Cuban Missile Crisis was such a terrifying event that I'm not even sure who I'd want in the oval office at the time (certainly not a Marxist nor a Communist nor a Democrat nor a liberal).

The worst possible scenario would be to have a modern Feminist in the oval office during such a catastrophe.  There is nothing more insidious that a modern Feminist who glorifies the eradication of the male gender.
