Barack Obama has Women Troubles

Barrack Obama has women troubles, and Hillary Clinton far from the alone as a problem. Danger lurks much closer to home.

First there are the 13 million disaffected women who supported Hillary not for her agenda but for her gender.  Fifteen times in her concession speech Hillary name-checked Barack Obama and fifteen times there were loud boos in the audience.  Yes, many will back Obama, but Democrats, unlike Republicans, don't fall in line.  In one poll 40 per cent of Clinton supporters said they will not support Obama; whether that turns into votes for McCain is another matter.  

Then there is Hillary herself.  In her swan song speech (is it?) she claimed she would "do whatever she could to ensure that Democrats take the White House back and defeat John McCain,"  In their quiet chat together at Diane Feinstein's house in Washington last week, I can only imagine that Obama said that the best help she can give is to give no help at all.  Obama can only hope that the Bill & Hill Show quietly retreats to the shadows only to appear  -- briefly -- at the convention in late August. Obama doesn't need the distraction or the constant reminder that she is still about.

Then there is the problem of the vice presidency.  Unless Hillary announces unequivocally that she has no intention to stand and will not accept an offer, this will hang like a pall and a question mark over the Obama campaign.

Her brigade of soul sisters will continue to push for her to the Obama camp either with her endorsement and connivance or not.  The shards from those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling will start to fall on Obama and his campaign will suffer death from 18 million small cuts.

Obama does not have to wait until the nomination to name his pick for veep and the vetting committee he has set up will buy him some time but that still leaves a glimmer of unrequited hope for Hillary supporters.  Yet another distraction from his core message.

Of course, Hillary may not want the post.  She could figure that Obama will lose to McCain and this puts her in the position in 2012 to tell the party elders "see I told you so."  Why be tainted as part of a losing ticket? Though she will on the surface give the appearance of helping the Obama campaign enough to secure her place in the party, it is in her interest not to help too much.  Giving the appearance of being "open to the idea" of the vice-presidency keeps the dance and the guessing going and distracts from the main thrust of selling Obama and his ideas (of which we know not what they are) to the electorate.  The distraction continues without her fingerprints on the gun.

And what if Obama should pick Hillary?  That brings up a host of problems of their own.  First there is the Clinton motivational factor on the GOP base -- if Republican John McCain can't rally his conservative base, the Clintons will. 

Then there's the Michelle problem.

In her famous television interview with Martin Bashir, Diana the late Princess of Wales, referring to Camilla (now the Duchess of Cornwall) complained that there were "three of us in this marriage."  Not only will Hillary not want to do a job she's in essence already done - the vice presidency may even be a step down for her after being Bill's co-president - but in Michelle Obama's eyes it's now her turn to be vice-president.

If Barrack Obama's throwback ideas to the Carter administration aren't scary enough, the thought of a Michelle Obama as part of the administration should really put the frighteners up.

Think back to Hillary Clinton's time in office dodging those bullets in Bosnia or securing peace in Northern Ireland.  Imagine what Michelle can do as FLOTUS.  Think about Cherie Blair Britain, where I live,  and her time in Downing Street.  Mrs. Blair, or Cherie Booth as she is known professionally, was happy enough as a barrister to take her own husband's government to court on human rights charges on a number of cases.  The recent publication of her memoirs have been a unneeded distraction to Gordon Brown  (notable fact: youngest son, Leo Blair, was conceived while she and Tony Blair were guests of the Queen at Balmoral.  She was too embarrassed to take her contraception as Her Majesty's household staff unpack one's bags).

Michelle will take the art of interfering first spouse to a whole new unexplored level.  This will be a lot more than just -- as Bill Clinton spoke of Hillary -- "two for the price of one."

Be it her only recently found pride in her country or moans about the price of ballet lessons or complaints about what "it [criticism of the odious preacher, Rev. Wright] is doing to my kids," Michelle is already famous for a strain of affluent victimhood; I can only feel for the White House staff who would have to suffer four years of her employ.

Add to this her leftist view of Barack Obama as Commander-in-Chief, not just of the military but of the whole nation; the nanny state with her as the chief nanny.  Think of this famous prediction from Michelle: 

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

Hmm, where in the US Constitution does it give him the power to do that?  Michelle is Hillary, Cherie and Oprah on steroids

And yes, she will have the power.

       

Hell hath no fury...  Somewhere in all of this there will be a woman scorned; be it Hillary, Hill's supporters or Michelle.  It won't be a pretty sight.

For every woman that voted for Hillary, there are probably five more who stayed home, are Independents, etc. that still feel that Obama was patronizing, misogynistic and sexist in his dealings with her. He's got big problems.

As for Michelle Obama...God help us if this woman gets any nearer to the White House than a guided tour!

[righting-wrongs]

maybe we can arrange for Hillary and Michelle to do an exhibition fight, let them settle the VEEP job in that way?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

exactly right -

Hillary’s “concession” (move to underground) speech was nothing more or less than a feminazi rally ....

The hands clapping in the air and angry faces were the culmination of the feminist anti-man agenda which has been one of the communist fronts attacking America’s foundational structure/beliefs from within for the past 40 or so years...

It was interesting watching the faces of the men at that rally....After awhile...it seemed to me....MOST of even these Hillary “supporters” finally seemed to “get it”....I saw several metrosexuals all of a sudden have a wave of enlightenment sink into their deceived minds....to make them see that indeed to these women, to Hillary, THEY are the source of the problems of this country and of this world..and Obama is one of “THEM”....men.

This garbage is shoveled into the minds of mush all throughout this country in almost every institute of higher learning (ha) in America and in Europe every single day.

Hillary and her anti-men cohorts really and truly HATE and BLAME MEN for everything that’s wrong....

(similarly to how many in in the black community - led by the likes of Jeremiah Wright as Obama has been - blame EVERY problem on “whitey” - those of the white race....those who sit “in power” over the black race).

Obama needs to do the math....

There are more angry women in the country than there angry African Americans....thanks to our university and media=led brainwashing....

meaning he has NO CHOICE but to pick an angry woman as his VP.....or lose bigtime in November - and he KNOWS it.

Mud wrestling, yeah, that’s the ticket!

Steel cage! THE THUNDERDOME!!

Only one woman comes out alive....

In Rev. Wright's videos, I'm always amazed by the fraudulent idealization of Africa. What? They don't realize that the rest of us know about African’t and its enormous shortcomings? Oh, I guess that's whitey's fault, too.

[seastay]

obamma said recently of Hillary, (paraphrased) “she proved that woman have no limits”, yet the fact that his race trumped her gender, and that a woman was limited to just a has been candidate in favor of a man seemed to not contradict this statement.

Now if Obamma spoke and would have said “its raining outside” on a sun shining day, people would just say, “wow didn’t he articulate that speech well!”

So doesn’t all he have to do to get the woman votes, is just say he is the new JFK , and everyone will just say, ‘wow, he even looks like JFK?

“In one poll 40 per cent of Clinton supporters said they will not support Obama; whether that turns into votes for McCain is another matter.”

It don't matter much if they vote McCain or not. What matters is for millions of Hilary Clinton backing Democratic women voters to stay home, aided by a few million Latino voters(who have consistently voted against Obama in the primaries) staying home as well. That will pretty much cook Obamination’s goose, but good.

[jellybean]

In her swan song speech (is it?) she claimed she would "do whatever she could to ensure that Democrats take the White House back and defeat John McCain,"

I'm sure I'm not the first to note she didn't say she would do whatever she could to ensure Obama takes back the White House. Pretty ambiguous statement.

If McCain picks Governor Sarah Palin for VP, he will win in a landslide.

Not only will he win the Hillary camp, but he will also win the Drill Alaska crowd in addition to other Conservatives.

[TomasUSMC]

I agree. If Hilster is not on the ticket with obsama then McCain with a woman as VP is strong.

Question is she proLife?

[TomasUSMC]

percent of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome become victims of abortion, but Alaska Gov, Sarah Palin didn’t let her child become a statistic. ...

got the answer not only proLIfe PROLIFE TO THE MAX.

SHE GETS MY VOTE

[Darkwolf377]

This happens in every election--people say so and so as VP is going to push the candidate to victory.

Doesn't happen.

Why would I, as a pro-lifer, and a supporter of drilling in Anwar, vote for Barack Obama, who will choose liberal SCOTUS justices and decide energy policy, vote for him all of a sudden because his VP pick didn't choose to have an abortion? Does anyone serious believe she would positively influence him in any way?

[Prole]

Sure.

Hillary's camp has already expressed their outrage with the Obama camp, and Governor Palin might be what seals the deal when their vote for McCain is concerned.

Why would Hillary's camp go to Obama if Governor Palin is running with McCain?

Believe it or not, I think that Hillary's crowd is going to determine who becomes President.

They are a considerable amount of people, and they are very pro-active in politics.

[Prole]

PS... Have you noticed how the MSM keeps mentioning Governor Jindal on the TV?

They are promoting him because they know that a young and inexperienced candidate will neutralize all complaints from Republicans who cite Obama's youth and inexperience.

Governor Palin is an experienced leader, and she also brings a Conservative agenda on pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment issues. She can probably develop an energy plan that will help us deal with the rising cost of fuel, also.

That is why the MSM will hate her.

[Darkwolf377]

I'm not sure how your post addresses mine, but if you're going to suddenly vote for Obama because he takes this woman as his VP...well, that's stunning. As much as I like W, we all love Cheney, and W is still a disappointment in many ways. And W and Cheney seem very tight. What evidence is there that Obama would be positively influenced by this woman--without knowing much about either of them, without knowing the dynamic between them? Considering the Dem position on abortion, this woman would either have STRONG opposition if she is indeed prolife (simply not having an abortion doesn't make one prolife) from the very voters Obama wants--Hillary's.

And how do we know HE won't be the one who influences HER--especially seeing his own complete support of abortion, and his environmental positions? he's going to suddenly change those--and THAT is why a Republican is supposed to suddenly support this ticket?

Thats nuts.

What are you talking about? If they hate her so much, why are they mentioning her on the TV so much?

Answer: She's the perfect antidote to the criticisms of Obama from the right. "She didn't have an abortion, plus she's a WOMAN!"

Yeah--she's also going up for a powerless position.

Can you see Mrs. Obama sitting there and letting her husband choose a strong conservative when he doesn't have to?
