Any rumors regarding Karen Hughes for president in 2008? It's probably ridiculous but you never know.

[edit] POV

uh...this is all fairily non-POV. criticisms of hughes should be a in a separate section of the article and this should include any gaffes or percieved problems with her. this article should also discuss her current work, but that is not my main concern. the article needs to be written in a neutral manner and should explicitly discuss criticisms under a separate article section. --Ampersand 00:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biased Passage

Under "2005 tour of the Middle East", I took out the following passage: "Hughes states that in response to a question from an unnamed Egyptian opposition political leader about why President Bush mentions God, she responded "that our Constitution references 'One nation under God.'"1 Hughes also pointed out that most U.S. Presidents have mentioned God in their public speeches. However, the phrase "under God" does not appear in the US Constitution. The phrase does appear in the current version of the Pledge of Allegiance, to which the words 'under God' were added in 1954."

This is clearly an insignificant event in her public life and is a biased criticism of her probably meant to show her as being "stupid".

[edit] too many links?

also does wikipedia have a standard on when other articles should be linked? there are way too many links in this article, which detract from its readibility. --Ampersand 00:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organized into sections

I've organized the page into sections, and added some content to the section on her current job as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy. Comments? MastCell 22:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
