  •  Um, he doesn't want a woman onscreen during SOTU (0+ / 0-)

    Matthews did not say that some people would find it a cultural shift; he said that he would. If simply seeing a woman sitting behind the President during a State of the Union speech constitutes a "cultural shift" to Matthews, how will he feel about an actual woman holding substantive power? Based on his own statement, I cannot imagine he would be comfortable, and I call that an obvious lack of trust.

      It is a huge shift in culture that we are now, finally, seeing women sitting behind the President (and hopefully the next step is that woman being the President).  In my own short lifetime, there has been a big shift; I don't recall having any women with that much political power in the '80s.  Yet just stating that apparently means to you that I don't trust women?
