Obama’s Efforts to Woo Women Overshadowed by the Economy

Obama lead amongst women is back on track… 14% margin.
The Palin bounce/hype is over.

Bush 04 State:
Iowa: Obama +11
New Mexico: Obama +8
Ohio: Obama +1
Colorado: Obama +10

I am so proud of Barack Obama.
God bless him. God bless the U.S.A!
As for John McCain, he needs to explain why he supported the Republican filibuster of the LILLY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY ACT.
If you think cased of intentional sexual discrimination should be dismissed as a result of the OFFENDER hiding the evidence, you should vote for John McCain.
But if you have a sister, or a wife, or a mother who has to work for a living, you should vote out the Republican party.
They are the ones that brought us STAGNANT middle class wages, an economy on the brink of disaster, and a war that is costing 13 BILLION DOLLARS a month, not $1 of which helps us 1) educate our kids to compete in a global economy 2) repair our bridges and infrastructure before they fall into the Mississippi or 3) change our economy to use renewable, American sources of energy!

If Obama cared about women and women’s issues, he’d have put Hillary on the ticket, she deserved the honor (Sweetie). Now he wants to woo women back. . .a little late. I do not want him using abortion as an inflammatory wedge issue in this campaign (I thought he was a different type of politician). . .

McCain is now the OFFICIAL candidate for the people and party who brought us:
Watergate, the Trillion Dollar War, Blackwater, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, Fannie Mae, The Mortgage Meltdown, No Bid Contract, Katrina, Harriet Miers, Abu Ghraib, Alberto Gonzalez, Halliburton, Body Armor, Guantanamo, Waterboarding, Axis of Evil, Shock and Awe, Mission Accomplished! Karl Rove, John Bolton, more soldiers coming home in flag draped boxes, Donald Rumsfeld, Sara AND Todd Palin, Troopergate, the Bridge to Nowhere, the Keating Five, and many other dead end ideas, crushing national debts,and foreign policy debaucles.

What a hypocrite! Yes Hillary put 18 millions cracks in the glass ceiling, but when he had the chance to let her finally breakthrough that ceiling, he stomped all over her, and selected a MAN instead. Go to Hell!
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO TIME – NOBAMA!!!!

Maybe there are more of us out there, for Obama, than you think. I’ve never been polled in my entire life. I’m 61 and can’t wait to vote this Nov.
I don’t want “some one just like me”. I’m not smart enough to be VP. I am, however, smart enough to research my choices.
By the way, what are the polsters going to do about all the people who only have a cell phone. They have no idea what they are going to do. It must drive them crazy.

More hateful Repub haters spewing their hateful hate at everything decent and positive in the world.
I thought Repubs claim to be Christians. Note to hateful Repub haters: CHRIST WASN’T A HATER.
CHRISTIANS DON’T HATE.
Stop your HATING.

Remember that grilling she got from Charlie Gibson too. He was an ass.

A softball interview on Fox News doesn’t count as a national press availability.
SARAH PALIN IS HIDING.
TODD PALIN IS HIDING.
McCAIN’S A POW!!!
PALIN IS MIA.

Fact Check: Did Obama ‘profit’ from Fannie and Freddie?
Posted: 10:16 AM ET
Did Obama profit from Fannie and Freddie?
VERDICT
Partially true, but misleading. Donations don’t come from companies. A list of employee contributions puts Obama second, but a different list including lobbyists and directors shows McCain getting more.
Filed under: Fact Check

BKMC, you do not speak for all women. This is evident in your little comment there.

Obama gets votes by lying.
Especially to woman.
Telling people that if he is not elected rowe vs wade will be over turned.
No one has ever said they would over turn rowe vs wade, besides obama.
People truly have to stop listening to his propaganda hog wash.
He is only interested in getting elected. He has no concern about you at all.
He will lie and cheat, Oh wait he has, He will say anything to get a vote, promise anything. That does not mean as president he has the power to do any of it.
The only think a president can do is declare war, appoint supreme court justices and a few other things. (This is someone thing above his pay scale anyhow. that is what makes him scary)
The rest he promises you is just hopes and prayers. Because he is powerless to do any of them.
Putting him in charge of this country I fear, will be the thing that definitely gets us all killed.
Think of all the times he has lied to the American people.
He has not stopped lying yet. Enough said

As for pro choice…McCain for years was/is, and wants it back with the States….women are not stupid enough to be one issue voters.
COUNTRY FIRST, NOT EGO!!!!!!
McCAIN/PALIN

what’s funny is no matter how much him and his nasty trolls lie they will not change the outcome on November 4th, there will be a lot of sick people on that evening and they will sit in paralized shock wondering how did this happen, and the answer is because you voted in the primaries to put an empty suit with no experience that ran on the mantra of change but did not explain it, to run against a man that has a proven record. Look in the mirror on November 4th when McCain is President and blame the person looking back at you and then turn on MSNBC(Al-Jeezera II, tell them only what we want them to know) and blame the people talking back at you and turn on CNN and ABC and blame the people talking back at you their and then suffer for the next four years like the rest of us that you got into this mess, because of Mr. Hope and Change.

McCain = BETRAYAL
McCain supporters are foolish to think that he will never betray them.
McCain is a close buddy of Bush.
Obama would not betray his country even after republican lies.
You can put lipstick on a pig , but he’s still a pig.

Manolete said:
ALASKA LOVES SARAH for the great work she has done reforming government to work for the citizens, and AMERICA IS FALLING IN LOVE WITH SARAH for her genuine sincerity, honesty and brilliant mind.
***********
Please tell me you were being sarcastic. The polls are showing that the percentage of people who like her is dropping and the people who dislike her is rising. And honesty???? Where to start on that one…Please, tell me your sarcasim did not come across on the boards and you just look like a republican parrot.

McCain = BETRAYAL
McCin has already betrayed America’s trust with his ugly dishonest campaign.
McCain sold his soul and every principle he ever stood for to Karl Rove to serve his own ego.
Does he really think Sarah Palin is the right person for the job?
REALLY?
HOW CYNICAL. HOW DISAPPOINTING.
HOW DISHONORABLE.
McCAIN IS UNTRUSTWORTHY.
LIPSTICK ON A BUSH.

kim
im sorry you wish not to listen to any of obamas proposals about what change means or what he would do as president, on the economy, on iraq, on or foreign relations
just because you dont read them, doesnt mean you can claim they dont exist

Typical Repub:
“Hateful hateful hate hate hateful hate hateful hate hate hateful hate …”
REPUBS ARE HATERS.

Bhrandon-Excuse me, not only have I listened to his proposals. I have researched his record back to the beginning as well as matched it up to how he has voted, my decisions on voting are not taken lightly. I do my research. From day one I decided to have an open mind. I did not want to support Hillary because she was a woman and I did not want to support Obama because I am an African American. I wanted to make a clear and concise decision and I researched his voting record in Illinois and in the U.S. senate as well as the rest of his history and I then compared it to what he was saying he would do. He does not have a proven record for what he is laying out in his policies, and due to his lack of experience the only thing I have to go off of is his record and it does not add up for me, don’t assume anything I have chosen not to support him after doing my research, this is not a personality issue and it’s certainly not racial, it’s based on my research and my review of the policies that he have laid out, which technically is not much, because he has not shown how he will pay for them, except for proposing to tax the people that he call rich. I have a problem with that. I am 41 years old, college educated, worked my way up the ranks. I have one child and just recently purchased a home. I make just about $230,000.00 per year, of that I bearly see $150,000. I make this money from my salary and from doing part time consulting work, I have a moderate sized home a car note, day care and regular expenses that goes with raising a 9 year old. I have a father that is Vet that is now visually impaired and in a wheel chair due to malpractice from going in for routine surgery and I am taking care of him and all of my other bills. I am not rich by any means. I struggle like everyone else. I am still paying off student loans I claim 0/0 for my payroll taxes and at the end of the year I still owe the government, how much more am I supposed to give.

You people can say whatever you like, I hope it makes you feel better. Just remember there are millions of people who read these post and don’t comment on them! Just like me they will be voting for the future of us all! McCain/Palin 08.

Sure, Mack, but McCain and the Repubs have thrown away their civility by running another dishonest and dishonorable Swiftboat campaign.
They show no respect for either America or themselves by doing so. They deserve NO RESPECT in return.
“hitting hard” is one thing. Flagrant cynical lying is another.
AMERICA IS DISGUSTED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ITS SLEAZY DISHONORABLE GAME.
WE DESERVE BETTER.

Ed, couldn’t agree more. I was talking more about Obama and Hillary. What is happening between McCain and Obama is completely different than what happened during the Dem primaries.

There was only 7,000 voters at his campaign? His crowds are getting smaller. Palin had 9,000 and John McCain had 11,000. Obama must be losing his touch in the campaigns. I know that CNN has Obama leading but not so. They are strictly pro-Obama and Cafferty only reads the e-mails that smear McCain not Obama. He doesn’t want the public to know that people dislike Obama. That’s the democrats for you.

Only the ignorants believe that empty drums like McCain /Palin could handle the economy. McCain a tenured chairman of commercial affairs does not understand the economy. He has no education, even 26 years in the Senate do not make up for proper education. Palin, ZERO ZERO ZERO experience in foreign affairs is going to be a major DISASTER.

Do you really think that McCain would have picked Palin if Obama had picked Clinton? No. McCain would have picked Romney or (his first choice) Lieberman and they’d have spent the rest of the campaign slandering Hillary. They’d already done all the dirt digging they could and were prepared to throw the mud. Why else would Rush tell Republicans to vote for her? They wanted her on the ticket. Me, I want her on the Supreme Court where she can protect women forever. (Or at least a really long time!)

John: Just letting you know I am voting for McCain. Voting for Obama means this country will be in the biggest disaster it ever seen. Obama doesn’t have the experience to run this country and doesn’t know anything about foreign policy. He wasn’t in the senate that long and missed 130 days. Now, he wants to be president. He read so many books on MLK it went to his head. He wants to make history too.

Actually it’s been widely known that the McCain camp has lied about the sizes of their crowds.
At a rally in Virginia the McCain camp said 23,00 people attended.
It was later revealed 8,000 attended.
I know. pretty sad.

Any Hillary whiners who overlook the mistakes her campaign made (like no new ideas, planning for a quick win with no backup plan,letting too many old white guys w/ their dirty tricks run things -including Ickes who while representing HRC at the DNC meeting was RUDE & DISMISSIVE to the chairWQMAN)better take a long look at what McCain brings to women’s issues. I don’t mean abortion. He’s voted against just about every chance to support women from breast cancer $$ to equal pay. Then there are the VP choices…McCain picked “let women pay for the own rape exam kit” Palin and Obama picked a champion of the Violence Against Women Act, Biden.
You can choose the guy whose economic advisor and policy soul mate says Americans are “whiners” and hates regulation and have so many homes they can’t imagine why the rest of us might struggle. Or someone who stands for CHANGE. No Obama doesn’t have a long track record. If he did, he’d be just like the others.
I’m in that mythical 50+ white female demographic that doesn’t need a Rothschild Obama is an elitist while explaining why rednecks don’t like him.

“TODAYS POLLS:
OBAMA SURGES AHEAD.”
He’s not going anywhere.

“Obama doesn’t have the capabilities to fix the economy. He may fool some of the public but not all. For a senator he needs extensive training in politics and foreign policy to run this country or Biden will have to run it and his bad mouth will cause a lot of trouble. ”
He won’t be running the country anyway. His 300 advisers along with Pelosi, and Reid will be calling the shots from the radical, far-left wing of the party.

Obama throws so many below the radar, below the belt blow to all his opponents, lies serially, changes his mind on all issues, and on top of that his razor thin resume, that he doesn’t have any credibility in the past and therefore, in the future.

Joe Biden is do far up the womynists butts that he oozes estrogen. Biden is there to placate Israel and the women’s vote for those who aren’t bitter enders for Hilliary. But between them and the conservative women who will go for McCain, the election will hinge on how many evaporating middle class voters Obama can guilt trip away from “National security/incompetency” campaign that is John McCain. Between “incompetent” and “incontenent”, the only way NOT to waste your vote is go for 3rd party or vote for yourself!

Barack Obama aka Barry Soetero’s whole life is a lie. As is his Christian/Muslim faith. Obamas lies started long before he entered Chicago politics, and they continue to this day, daily. The most unqualified, inexperienced candidate in the last century. What an absolute joke. His only real experience is 20 years in a racially polarizing church. Sarah Palin would make a far better president than Obama /Soetero the Marxist ideologue. Barry, go back to Chicago, and your community organizer projects.

Mack: You are right about Nancy and Reid. They were the one’s along with Obama that played dirty pool to Hillary Clinton regarding the superdelegates and delegates. Nancy was very jealous of Hillary and didn’t want her as the nominee. I hope the republican’s take over the house someday so Nancy Pelosi will have to step down.

Women, please! I too hoped that Hillary could have broken that glass ceiling but the majority spoke and I think the majority made the right choice at this point in time. Obama has polarized this country in a good way. There is an unprecendented grass roots movement taking place with more new regestered voters than in any other time in recent history.
Remember ladies, if Obama were simply trying to win this election he would have chosen Hillary. They would have made a formidable team in this election but not a good team in the White House. Instead he chose someone that best complimented his skills and temperament. I commend him greatly for not going the McCain route and simply choosing a VP on politcal grounds.

Education matters. Let me repeat: Education matters. It has be proven over and over that complex issues could only be solved by smart folks. McCain/Palin is not a smart ticket. McCain is a career politician who has no idea about the economy. Let alone the global economy. Palin does not even know the definition of a global economy. She only has a suspicious Bachelor in journalism (why is she then afraid of talking to journalists?). Get real, education matters. McCain/Palin is a recipe for the ARMAGEDDON.

Do you know Valerie Jarrett? If not you need to check up on her as you will be electing her also.

Badger, Mack & Mariann.
Typical Repub liars. Just keep on talking your phony garbage: NOBODY BELIEVES A WORD YOU SAY.
REPUBS HAVE DISCREDITED THEMSELVES WITH 8 YEARS OF LYING AND CRIMINALITY.
McCAIN HAS DISCREDITED HIMSELF WITH A DISHONEST CAMPAIGN AND A LAUGHABLY CLUELESS VP PICK.
McCAIN/PALIN = LIPSTICK ON A BUSH

Ed, Do your duty as an American and e-mail your congressperson. This issue needs to be resolved.

Obama had them at “yes we can”

Felt compelled to post again… I find it completely appalling that people still question whether Obama is a racist or a Muslim. How many people on this post board would be willing to endure the nearly 2 years of scrutiny, exhaustion, day after day battling rumors, protests, attacks on your integrity. That is what Obama has to endure every single day. How many of you would sign up for this type of torture? And being in the White House is certainly no picnic. Just look at how much every President has aged while in office. Bush looks like the walking dead. Being President of the free world is probably the toughest job you can imagine AND it certainly does not pay well. Obama, with his undeniable intelligence, could make a much nicer living in the private sector.
He does not endure this day after day to run the country into the ground… let’s face it, Bush has done a fine job of that. Rather he wants to make sweeping positive change. Who would do this if not for love of this country.

education matters: And do you think that your qualified to become a mayor or governor? I don’t think so. Education matters in certain positions but you don’t need a college education to work as a secretary, phone operator, waitress, customer service, etc. You need a college education to become a doctor, lawyer, teacher, politician, etc. There are real estate agent’s selling property making large commission’s that don’t have college.

what if we who support Obama all do this
I did, my daughter my friends have we have voices we can speak
a brilliant idea for $10
Instead of (in addition to?) us all sending around more emails about how horrible Sarah Palin is, let’s all make a donation to Planned Parenthood.
In her name.
And here’s the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her
name, they’ll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor. Here’s the link to the Planned
Parenthood website:
https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_inhonor
You’ll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send
the “in Sarah Palin’s honor” card. I suggest you use the address
for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:
McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202
PS make sure you use that link above or choose the pulldown of
Donate–Honorary or Memorial Donations, not the regular “Donate
Online”

Arizona: And I think your nuts.

“Do you know Valerie Jarrett? If not you need to check up on her as you will be electing her also. ”
Yikes, a female Cheney. Forget creationism, if these 2 get into power, Black Liberation Theology will be required reading. From one extreme to the other.

“Do you know Valerie Jarrett? If not you need to check up on her as you will be electing her also. ”
She’s like Reverand Wright on steroids.

Yes Ed from MA, you left out the fact that McCain does not know much about economics because he was a POW.

McCain/Palin do not have the IQ required to run this country. This is a dumb ticket.

HEY GANG MCCAIN IS THE SMARTEST GUY I KNOW———HE HAS 20-20 HINDSIGHT—-WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN FOR 26 YEARS MCBUSH

MCCAIN —the –d—average student has all the answers–usually after the fact—-remember the –d–student, the one your teacher passed to get him out of their class—–the D-U-M-B ONE—–ha ha ha ha it is laughable that you want him to run country..what is the problem are you on the same level.

@Ed from MA “Why won’t Sarah Palin talk to the national press?” – Where have you been these days? She has taken on multiple interviews across the major networks for the past couple of weeks. She snubbed NBC – for good reasons. Didn’t msnbc has decided to remove that bad mouthed Olberman? Why is he still sitting there tight?

Obama praised the paths blazed by his mother and grandmother, and “women like my friend, Hillary Clinton who put those 18 million cracks in that glass ceiling.
=====
Yup, a typical white woman it is.
Don’t forget it is You, the phony, God of Nothingness, who prevented shattering that glass ceiling by your elite House Mommy and Senate Lord, your racist tactics, your selling out fellow democrats to make your political gains, your lies and bribery to buy votes, your Affirmative Action.

Dont waste your time on us, Obama …
We will NEVER VOTE FOR YOU ..

NO way was I going to vote for Obama….UNTIL….Sarah Palin! She is the embodiment of EVERYTHING I cannot support in a political candidate. From women’s issues to the environment this person would be a disaster one heart beat away from the presidency.

Palin/Mccain-08, everybody stop referring wrong order Mccain/Palin-08.

Biden…..a puff away from the Presidency….Obama can’t quit the ciggys. Mom died of cancer.

Biden is old Washington politics as usual….Obama could have held on to his CHANGE mantra with Hillary and gained 18 million votes….LOSER.
No one wants to hear Biden, so he shows up everywhere he can for a little coverage….his campaign plane is empty.

paige – what about foxnews? that would make it 55!

what about white men in this election? It seems the white man is the devil this election! Just remember, white men are married to white, black, hispanics, oriental, and all kinds of other women of races and also reversal to that matter etc…. But it seams the only people being talked about are blacks, hispanics, women, and not the white or even black men, just Obama! Where is the equality? I have a family to feed too people! I employ all colors of people, i guess you want more people to be unemployed because my company can’t afford Obama’s tax raises! I guess that makes me and other white male business owners the problem and the devil.

As an enthusiastic Hillary-supporter and volunteer for her campaign, I am appalled that so many other women in this country seemed to vote for her JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN, and not for her policy positions. Obama shares almost all of Hillary’s policy positions, and certainly aims to do more for women than does Sarah Palin, who opposes abortion rights for women even in cases of rape or incest, opposes sex education so that NOT ALL of our 17-year-old daughters will end up pregnant (oh yeah, Palin’s SO classy!), and is “not convinced that climate change is a man-made phenomenon.” Not to mention that she sued the Bush Administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species. To all of the women out there voting for McCain just because you’re mad that Obama didn’t pick Hillary – start thinking critically about what matters to you and your daughters. And be a real feminist, not a hypocritical one who will vote for someone based on their genitalia. Sarah Palin is an extremist right-wing idiot, the complete opposite of Hillary Clinton!!!!!!

Posted by: seah | Sep 19, 2008 5:39:14 PM “The only think a president can do is declare war, appoint supreme court justices and a few other things.”
UNBELIEVABLE! so that’s McCain-Palin new logo??? VOTE FOR US, IT’S NOT LIKE IT’S HARD!
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN… YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF THE REPUBLICAN’S PARTY ONCE HONORABLE MORALITY. PLEASE, A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

Hillary is his friend. Oh please. Hillary owes a lot of money and that is the only reason she is putting up with being used. I bet she votes McCain/Palin inside that booth. You don’t seriously believe what NObama is saying do you. Women get the same pay that men do already if they do the exact same job. facts—–speak for yourself. I am voting for Sarah and I am not subdued to my husband as I divorced his butt a long time ago. Alaska has a surplus, Alaskians got money in their pocket and not government money because she took on the oil companys. Does Illinois have a surplus? NObama is for himself, he doesn’t give a flip about women, but keeping a muzzle on them like he does with Michelle and her radical mouth. Your saviour is the devil in disquise. He wants to be another MLK, hmmm he may be if the people are stupid enough to elect him, then you will get Biten who only got what? 1% of the votes in his run for President. Ya this football mom will vote for that hockey mom anyday over the teleprompt king. McCain/Palin 08
