HONDURAS SWEARS IN THEIR FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT: LESSON LEARNED FOR HILLARY CLINTON?

ICHEOKU says another woman has just done what Hillary Clinton could not do, win a country's presidential election. It once again proves Hillary Clinton wrong that winning the presidency of a country has nothing to do with genitalia nor is it gender biased. It is all about likability and having a resonating campaign message of hope, that everything will be alright with the person manning the tiller of state. 

But when even her dour look telegraphs a message of despair, doom and gloom; and that she was running for president just for the heck of setting a female record, and going about it as if she is entitled to be "crowned" president as a matter of right, she turns so many voters off, thus making it  an insurmountable task, cracking the proverbial marble ceiling of the White House. 

Hillary Clinton's rejection by the American people as unelectable in a nationwide election is something which will haunt her till death. She will go to her grave, sad, unhappy and unfulfilled, regardless of the many other blessings which life bequeathed her, just because her single most important ambition to become the first female president of the United States of America was denied her. American people severally rejected her, both in party primaries and in the general election, the last being 2016 which she is still sulking about. A very humiliating defeat because she lost to a political newbie real estate billionaire from New York named Donald John Trump She is still having nightmares and sometimes experiences being president in her dream, only to wake up to the reality of what is, a presidential reject of America.

Anyway, Hillary Clinton is not the reason for this piece, although she is an integral part of it as this article disproves her warped narrative that she lost several bids for the White House because American men are misogynists who do not want to see a female president in their White House. But Vice President Kamala Harris is in the White House and some American men voted for her; and the last time ICHEOKU checked, she was still a female and married to one Jewish guy. Hillary Clinton was only rejected because she is not the right type of female, period. 

President Xiomara Carlos has pulled the feat in Honduras and was sworn in as the country's first female president. She has now joined the retinue of other world female leaders and increasing the numbers of females who are leading their countries. She also entered the history book of first female presidents and females who are leading and/or have led their countries; including Golda Meir of Israel, Margaret Thatcher of Britain, Germany's Angela Merkel,  Sirleaf Johnson of Liberia, Isabel Perón and Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, Michelle Bachelet of Chile, Samia Suluhu of Tanzania, Salomie Zurabishvili of Georgia,  Paula Mae Weekes of Trinidad and Tobago, Laura Chinchilla of Costa Rica and Ekaterini Sakellaropoulou of Greece, just to name a few. 

This shows that America too can elect a female president of the United States; but it will take the right and correct woman to get it done; but definitely not one who is not comfortable in her own female body and who attacks men as if God made a horrible mistake by creating Adam. She must be a real-deal female who American men can relate to as either a mother, girlfriend, wife, sister or aunt. Any American woman who wants to succeed where Hillary Clinton failed, break the marble ceiling of the White House, must imbibe the lessons of Hillary Clinton's rejection and approach the quest differently. 

Such a female candidate must understand that there is nothing wrong with being a woman and that American men do not hate women and that they like women enough to elect them president. All such a candidate needs to do is to appeal to men as a mother, sister, wife and aunt would do, and wallah, America will elect their first female president. But any crazed out, wild-eyed feminist on steroid, who thinks that she can get into the White House by disparaging men and acting as if she does not squat or sit down to pee, will meet the same cruel fate which denied Hillary Clinton her lifetime ambition. 

ICHEOKU says congratulations to President Xiomara Carlos for a hard fought election, victory and being  sworn in as the first president of Honduras. Hopefully, she will deliver on her election promises and by then, would have rightfully earned the trust which Honduras people placed in her with their votes; by improving their fortunes through improved jobs creation and the overall wellness of the economy and security of the Central America country. Hillary Clinton must have called her to congratulate her and also pick her brains on how she pulled it off, as hush talks have it that she is thinking about 2024. Felicidades Madam Presidente Xiomara Carlos.
