Obama tailors election-year message to working women

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, leading in the polls among women voters, said on Friday he wants to help working women fight discrimination and juggle the demands of motherhood but stopped short of making promises on gender equality if he wins re-election.

At a White House event on women and the economy, Obama noted "there has been a lot of talk about women and women's issues lately," a nod to the emergence of contraceptive rights, working women and all-male establishments as heated issues in his race for re-election in November.

"But I do think that the conversation has been oversimplified," Obama said. "Women are not some monolithic bloc. Women are not an interest group. You shouldn't be treated that way."

A USA Today/Gallup poll released this week showed Obama with a strong edge over Republican Mitt Romney, his most likely rival for the White House, among women voters in electoral battleground states including New York, Ohio and Virginia.

THEN why is the spineless man with forked tongue and 'tailored' messaging treating 'them' that way?

The morally devoid America hating community organizer; "winning the future" for evil one lie at a time and one interest group at a time...

Such a wasted opportunity.
Even if Romney would somehow manage to get elected President.
Is there anything that would indicate he would be a strong reformer

...I mean for the side of the Constitutional Republic and not the liberal dim-Mock-crazy version?

RE: Obama tailors election-year message to working women.

What about the working homosexuals, the working african americans, the working undocumented workers, and the working environmentalists?

Not only are women facing Unemployment like men, they have to fill up their vans and SUVs, that they transport the kids in, with $4.00 per gallon gasoline. People still vote their pocket books. They don’t give a crap about contraception as a political issue. They know they can buy all they want over the counter at the drug store; that is, if they have any money left after filling the gas tank.

When did New York become a “battleground” state?

The same time George Zimmerman's 911 call was edited to portray him as a rabid racist.

You know, just making it up as they go along.

What are the odds.

He said at a, "White House event on women and the economy..."Good old Reuters. Right there to help out with the Jedi mind tricks.

Yes... his mental capacity cannot handle more than one template at a time... I said it in 2004 when he gave his speech at kerry’s convention and I say it now... the dumbest man to ever hold the office of president. Scheming and ruthless... even cunning... but dumber than a box of hammers. He is also uneducated and no one can prove that it was he attending classes or that anyone including himself ever attended a class... anywhere.

Contraceptive rights, working women and all-male establishments are heated issues

Yep. Evil Republicans want to outlaw ALL contraception; they don't want ANY woman working anywhere; and they want ALL women out of The League of Women Votes, the Girl Scouts, Soroptimist International, the WCTU, and the YWCA. Gotta stop those Repugnicans.

Well, if you’re inferring that the George Zimmerman “doctored” tape played by NBC will Rally the New York Jews to vote Republican......... I’d like to think that’s possible, but, you’re dreaming my friend. No matter what; American Jews will vote for Obozo to the tune of 70%.

I am curious about the percentages of female Republicans versus female democrats.

How many women voted for the Kenyan liar back in 2008, and how many women voted for McCain/Palin?

God help us all if these idiots vote for him again.
