Clinton on "The View"

Kicking off a week focused on women's events, Hillary Clinton appeared on the TV chat fest "The View" today to field questions from the likes of Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg. Walters asked how it's different for Clinton to run for president as a woman. The former First Lady criticized the focus on her appearance as a woman, while also jokingly feeding into it.

"Well, look how much longer it takes me to get ready!" she joked. But she went on: "The hair, the clothes, the laugh...I do think there still is a tougher standard for women, especially running for president.

"We've all been through it in some way or another," she continued. "You go, you try to break a barrier, you do the best you can and people say, well, I don't like her hair or whatever. Well, I think we are getting beyond that."
