Marie C. Wilson, president and founder of the national, nonpartisan The White House Project, said Barbie's campaign shows girls that they can aspire to the highest levels of leadership, including the presidency.
"It allows girls to think about turning Barbie's dream house into the White House," Wilson said in a statement. "Since Barbie is such a large part of girls' lives, we believe it's important to encourage them to become tomorrow's leaders, and Barbie for President sends that message."
But what of the rumored 'going on's' in that Dream House? Rumor has it the reason she dumped Ken, aside from the lack of a penis, is that while traveling abroad, Barbie met a young, albeit plastic, book cover model while in France on business and upon her return to the states got this model a job working for Mattel. And whatever will happen when Barbie and her Girl Friday's pictures surface? Barbie, your past has been mercilessly at the hands of twisted children and tweaked out adults for years and remember that whole "Math is hard" episode? I'd think twice about running for president at this time, maybe in another 50 yrs society will be more accepting of your exploits, your relationships with half a million G.I. Joe's, Midge & P.J. and the whole tippy-toed stature thingy is a little freaky, the future is yours, but the climate is far to conservative at this time for this campaign to take hold.
