  • What do you think of the recent US presidents with daughter only?

    I found a question asked by a Chinese Internet user on a Chinese forum very interesting. Here it is:
    From Clinton to George Bush to Obama, the recent US presidents have daughters only. What do you think? ;)

    Interesting, but with the economy, 2 wars, global terrorism ... I can not say that it intrigues me.

    I am just looking forward to see what he will do with the serious issues we have.

      Bush sr. 1989-93 /Clinton 93-2001/Bush Jr. (2001-09)/Mrs. Clinton (missed by a step still got Secretary of State anyways) instead Obama (may be till 2017).

      Now the options for the next ruler may be
      Mrs. Bush/Mrs. Clinton/Mrs. Obama
      or
      Bush daughters/ Clintons Daughter/Obama Daugters

      USA is going to have a female president soon enough. :))

        That's very interesting....another thing to ponder is that if Hillary became president Chelsea Clinton would be First Daughter again!

          If I'm going to hazard a guess as to why... making a huge generalization that may hold absolutely no water... but maybe it has something to do with men taking a keener interest in raising their sons than daughters, the latter they "delegate" more to their wives. Then they'd have more time to dedicate to their political career. Maybe... or maybe it's just completely random that the last three presidents have only daughters.

            You are right, Duke, it really does not hold any water.

            In fact I would say that girls are closer to their fathers than they are to their mothers. However, since I have a daughter, I will hope and pray that it would somehow increase my chances of being President someday

              This maybe so, but have you noticed another trend?

              Obama, GW Bush, Clinton, and GHW Bush are all left handed.

              Take that. :P

                Daughters: Acidity ?

                  1. People in high stress positions have more daughters on average.
                  2. Daughters tend to be closer to their fathers, at least earlier on.
