Could he be any more of an idiot?

Could I possibly despise Obama more?

Yeh Daddy Obama....Just make sure they keep that “right” to kill their babies before they’re even born. Don’t want to inconvenience them.

When is someone going to take up the fight for men?

Look at the abuse in the family court system. Men and fathers are maligned in the media and entertainment, they make men look stupid in TV advertisements but I can guarantee if they portrayed women the same way all hell would break lose.

They also show women beating up men in TV advertisements and even kids show. I was watching TV with my kids and they show that guy Spenser getting beat up by girls and make a buffoon of himself on ICarly. Just imagine if they portrayed a girl in the same way? FemQuida would come out swinging and tell us that it is bad for a girl’s self esteem to be portrayed in such a way.

George Bush has freed more women than Obama would ever dream about.

When he left office, millions of women had access to education that hadn’t before.

Being a woman has NEVER impeded me in any way in this country.

I grew up in a family of very capable strong women and have
always considered the oppressed victim act a big joke. None
of the whiner libs I've known could compete with my female
relatives in the real world. A few month ago my mom fell and
cracked her left hip. I told her therapist that this is
probably the only 84 year old woman she'd ever work with
that wanted her left let back in good shape so that she could work the clutch in her Porsche.

What does this have to do with

1) the economy
2) energy independence
3) Middle East turmoil
4) Japan relief efforts
5) union thuggery around the country
6) ....

Your focus is all wrong. See post 15 above, and get with the program.

He should know that the woman that count in this country have his number and will never vote for a Muslim Communist.

You need to study the Mombasa Muslim Marxist Mulatto's polling numbers a little more closely. This guy took the ladies' vote big time. In fact, the female vote is a "gimme" for the Democrats. A minimally contestable area is the over-30 white female vote, whose political "thoughts" have turned the Republican Party into a bunch of spineless wimps in the usually vain hope of attracting a majority in this key group, aka "the soccer moms."

IMHO, time to rethink (but first let's see how Palin does with them) female suffrage, the voting age, literacy requirements, and poll taxes.

World is in flames and the survival of the US is in serious jeopardy due to his fiscal malfeasance, so what do we get? Lectures about civility, his wife planting a garden, talks about bullying (from the nation’s top bully), and now a rehash of that perpetual standby - “women’s rights.” The man is a complete fool and waste of flesh.

Mr Obama won 56% of the female vote,
compared with 51% of women who voted for John Kerry last time.

Yes, in Communist Russia/Cuba/China and in Saudi Arabia/Iran/Afghanistan the women are almost on par as men.

This pandering Marxist is so tranparent when sucking up to the “feminists”.

Well as far as “rights” go, liberals have shifted the debate. Now we’re supposed to have our panties in a twist about issues such as not enough women in the hard sciences, not enough women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, etc.

It’s hard to think of any rights under the law which women don’t have. But the liberal view is that if women are not represented adequately in some field, it must be due to enduring sex discrimination.

“....so that she could work the clutch in her Porsche.”

That says it all. I like her immediately. ;-)
