At a Singapore event yesterday, Former President Barack Obama said there would be “significant improvement across the board” if countries were led by women, adding that:
“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us (men). I’m absolutely confident that for two years, if every nation on Earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything … living standards and outcomes.”
In his stirring speech, Obama elaborated:
“If you look at the world and look at the problems, it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he said. “It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self-importance or your own power.”
Wonder who those comments were addressed to?
