Barack Obama: “Women Are Indisputably Better Than Men!”

President Barack Obama seems to agree with Beyonce‘s sentiments when she posed and answered the question, “Who runs the world? Girls!” During a recent speaking engagement, he revealed that he thinks the world would be a better place if there were more women in charge. Barack Obama told this to the audience at a private leadership event in Singapore:

“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].”

He continued:

“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.”

Ironically, his wife Michelle Obama, says she would not consider running for President.

President Barack Obama says that he, too, isn’t interested in jumping back into politics because leaders need to make room for new, fresh voices. He added:

“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. 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.”

Maybe their daughters Malia or Sasha Obama will walk in their footsteps and run for office one day!
