The Issue: Michelle Obama stating America isn’t ready for a female president on her book tour.
I agree with Michelle Obama’s remark, “we ain’t ready.” But I disagree with what we aren’t ready for (“A female prez? O no not yet,” Nov. 17).
We are not ready to vote for a candidate who did not win one presidential primary. We are not ready to vote for an individual who was selected for the vice presidency based on identity, not qualifications. We are not ready to vote for a candidate appointed by former President Joe Biden.
“We ain’t ready” for these reasons, and thank goodness for that.

Obama thinks that America isn’t ready for a female president because men don’t want to be led by a woman. In reality, it’s because Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were two of the worst candidates to ever run. It had nothing to do with gender.

My goodness, is the list of Michelle Obama’s complaints endless? She now says our country can’t have a female president because men aren’t ready to be led by a woman. Wrong, Michelle.
She cites the 2024 election as proof because the country didn’t elect the Democrats’ crowned, inarticulate, unimpressive nominee. Give us an inspiring female candidate, and I assure you, the entire country is “ready” to get behind such a woman.

Obama is totally wrong in stating that America is not ready for a female president. There are several countries throughout the world, some more conservative than America, with female leaders.
So far, the two female candidates put forward in the United States were not ready or qualified for the presidency. Hillary Clinton was riding on Bill’s coattails and Kamala Harris was simply incompetent, if not totally clueless.

The former first lady is right in saying America is not ready for its first female president.
Other countries have moved way ahead in this matter, but America is far from it. Maybe at some point it will happen, but not anytime soon.

Michelle Obama remains as divisive as ever.
The same America that elected your African-American husband is capable of electing a woman as president, Michelle. However, the bar has to be higher than the vacuous and incompetent Harris. Perhaps you have style, but you are short on substance.

The Issue: The Post’s editorial calling for organized sports to separate themselves from gambling.
The Post’s sports gambling editorial certainly calls out the guilty parties, but neglects to identify itself as one of the most egregious sinners with its daily “Action” articles (“Sports’ Gambling Cancer,” Editorial, Nov. 16).
Here’s an opportunity to “walk the walk” instead of feeding the beast. Taking a responsible stance would do more than any of the editorial’s proposed remedies.

Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz would’ve never been arrested for throwing pitches tailored to help gamblers if they had only heeded the disingenuous tagline mumbled at the end of every sportsbook commercial: Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.

As a loyal reader, I feel compelled to point out The Post’s hypocrisy. There’s rarely a day when the sports section doesn’t publish articles with someone’s betting touts.
The Post should stop that practice, even if the paper loses some advertising revenue and readers.
