As far as a woman president, I would be fine with that unless she had adopted too many male characteristics. Women in business that act more like a man than a woman in their mannerisms make my skin crawl a little.
An academic is an excellent choice for an advisor. I think she's getting a lot of great experience at the executive level that may some day make her a valuable candidate for elected office.

I wouldn't call her an "academic" after 4 years as the top foriegn policy advisor.
