Women of President Bush's White House Now the topic of women and the Bush White House. Their role and the issue of gender has come in for closer scrutiny since the president chose Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. But as we hear from NBC's Andrea Mitchell, the president is getting credit for bringing women into his inner circle during his public life. ANDREA MITCHELL reporting: Harriet Miers is only one of may powerful women around George W. Bush. President GEORGE W. BUSH: Harriet, thank you for agreeing to serve. Congratulations! Judge HARRIET MIERS: Thank you. MITCHELL: Presidents often listen to their wives... Offscreen Voice: Did you have some input in that? Ms. LAURA BUSH: Not much, but I'm thrilled. MITCHELL: But this president has surrounded himself with strong women, like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and longtime counselor Karen Hughes, now in charge of polishing America 's image abroad. Ms. KAREN HUGHES: I still have to pinch myself a little when I'm sitting in a meeting with the king and realize that I'm there representing our country. MITCHELL: Plus Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, homeland security adviser Frances Townsend, longtime aide Dina Powell. Of course, Bill Clinton had his wife, his secretary of state and other women in his Cabinet. TEXT: Albright Shalala MITCHELL: The difference, historians say, is George Bush turns to women for advice as often as he turns to men. Ms. DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN (Presidential Historian): You think about Condoleezza Rice or you think about Karen Hughes or you think now about Harriet Miers. They're right at the vortex of his power. That's different. MITCHELL: But how much does gender really matter? For instance, critics say Hughes focused too much on being a woman with skeptical Muslim and Arab audiences last month. Ms. HUGHES: I'm a mom and I love kids. I love all kids. MITCHELL: Others question Bush's commitment to traditional women's issues, like health care and education, despite having so many women advisers. Ms. GOODWIN: Just because a woman is there in a position of power doesn't necessarily mean that she is representing issues that are of concern to women in general. MITCHELL: Still, this president learned early and often about listening to a strong woman. Ms. LESLIESANCHEZ (Former Bush Official): Any president who has Barbara Bush as a mother is really going to have a strong understanding of the world of women. MITCHELL: A valuable political symbol rooted in personal experience. Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington . WILLIAMS: Up next here tonight, it was one of the images we came to know after Katrina, but what has happened to them since? |
