This is a fairly good sign for Obama, and one most people probably didn't see coming - at least not this quickly:
The feminist icon whose writings inspired thousands of American women to a passionate support of Hillary Clinton said yesterday she was not at all crushed by Hillary's loss and believes her race has "absolutely" been good for women. But she now not only supports Democratic nominee Barack Obama, she'll volunteer for him, too. "I think she changed forever our understanding of the possibilities of leadership," Gloria Steinem said of Hillary in a Herald interview after a morning appearance here. "She showed such courage in the face of a media that was trying constantly to get her out of the race and all the misogyny . . . She put up with that with grace. She enlarged my vision."
Steinem also said she'd be happy in an America where Nancy Pelosi remains speaker of the House, Hillary runs the Senate and Barack Obama is president.
Gee, quel surprise!
You’ve got to be kidding me! Gloria supporting Obama? Who’d a thunk?
Can we go ahead and assume all the liberal losers can now safely voice their support for the messiah in exchange for another 15m of news time?
The Old Crone wants to get in front of the victory parade.
If I came away with anything from reading Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” it’s that they worship power above all.
So then, is “identity politics” important? Are women supposed to vote for a woman candidate just because she’s a woman, or is it ok to look at their stands on issues and content of their character?
Obama is very liberal, Steinem is liberal, Obama is in favor of abortion rights, so there would be no question of her support except for Hillary being in the race.
Ya, but how does she look in a Burka ... ( sarcasm off )
NOES WAI?!!?!!1!!
Somewhat of a surprise for a staunch feminazi.
I wonder if there are any pics on the Net of Gloria Steinem in her attractive, youthful days? Or was that before cameras were invented?
That was before stone tablets and chisels were invented.
