Her voice is is very feminine, and lacks the conviction and severity of Hillary Clinton or Marget Thatcher.

I understand where this is coming from, but it still seems sexist. Especially when you consider that Hillary Clinton deliberately altered her natural voice to make it seem deeper, and not only was she criticized for this ('being phony' and whatnot) she still didn't come close to matching the booming, authoritative sounds emanating from the Senator from Illinois. Culturally I suppose we are trained expect to hear a strong voice from the President, but in this day and age it's more important that the voice reflects a strong personality behind it. The rest has no objective bearing on leadership ability.
