Hillary Clinton Too Old For Presidency

Your Too Old To Become President

Fox News has truly gone too great heights in criticizing Hillary Clinton's age in the run up and coming 2016 Presidential Elections. Many of the Fox News hosts have questioned whether being a grandmother would hurt Clinton politically. Some has even suggested that Clinton gets plastic surgery before running for president. Also in a November 9th interview with Politico, Sen. Rand Paul suggested that Clinton, may be too old to successfully campaign for president. Paul stated, "it's a very taxing undertaking to go through. It's a rigorous physical ordeal, I think, to be able to campaign for the presidency."

Neil Cavuto Response

On the November 11th edition of Fox News Your World, host Neil Cavuto defended Hillary Clinton, by calling Paul's comments "so base and so cheap." He also went on and talked about Clinton's achievements as Secretary of State by stating, "I think it's fair to say Hillary Clinton was up to the physical rigors of the job and then some."

My Opinion 

I personally found Sen. Paul's and a few other Fox News host comments very rude and offensive to women. Stating that Clinton should consider plastic surgery is ridiculous and shows that women are often judged more on their looks and less on their intelligence and ability to lead a country. John McCain and Ronald Regan were both older when they ran for president than Clinton will be if she decides to run in the 2016 race. Former President Regan was 69 when elected into office and McCain was 71 when running for President in 2008. Both Regan and McCain were clearly grandfathers when running for office but when a women is a grandmother running for president it's now a problem. Mitt Ronmey was also a grandfather when he ran for president, but the media never focused negatively on him being a grandfather in the presidential race. Once again women are negatively judged based on appearance than smarts.
