Bhutto's father was prime minister, President Arroyo's father was president, and even our dear Cory Acquino was only qualified because she was married to Nino. A president's wife might ignore his work, or be a helpmate. Hillary was a helpmate to her husband's work (one might say sardonically she was not a wife but a helpmate, leaving the wifely duties to Monica but that's another story). So if you complain about Hillary, why not complain about Mrs. Roosevelt? No, she never was president, she was merely one of the founders of the United Nations. actually, nearly every female head of state bases her experience on proximity to a male, usually a father but sometimes a spouse.
