Barack Obama: We need to elect more women because 'men are having problems'
The Telegraph (UK) ^

Posted on 12/04/2017 4:16:24 AM PST by TigerClaws

Barack Obama has called for more women to be elected to office because "because men seem to be having some problems these days."

AFP reported that the former President made these remarks while talking to a private event in Paris on Saturday, and was referring to the sexual misconduct allegations made against many high-profile men.

He said: "Not to generalize but women seem to have a better capacity than men do, partly because of their socialisation."

At the event, which was arranged by a network of communications professionals known as the Napoleons, Obama did not mention President Donald Trump.

However, he did mention a "temporary absence of American leadership" with regards to climate change.

His remarks about this inspired laughter in the room, which was packed with French CEOs and former ministers.

Did electing Obama qualify?

His apology tour continues even after he's out of office.

He just continues to expose the sheep-like electorate that put him in office as only able to respond as racist since that was his primary “qualification.” That essentially is what he is saying about why to elect women — because they can’t be sexually inappropriate???

Figure globalists would be attracted to a megalomaniacal dictator who waged war across Europe and killed millions in a an insane attempt at a one-world government.

The mysteriously confident sophistication of his observations is directly proportionate to how full of shit he is.

We need to elect more women because they are more easily controlled.

3 Dec: RT: Obama meets ‘Les Napoleons’: Ex-US leader flies to Paris for elite club speech
The names of famous former leaders have stacked up in Paris, where Barack Obama appeared before an elite group named “Les Napoleons.” The peculiarly-named French “communications network” refused to reveal Obama’s fee, which was rumored to be some €400,000.
Obama, who is on a five-day global tour, stopped off in Paris on Saturday for a series of private meetings with high-profile French politicians, including Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, French President Emmanuel Macron and his predecessor, Francois Hollande.

One meeting on the brief Paris trip, however, stood out – when Obama acted as keynote speaker at a regular summit of a rather obscure organization with a striking name – Les Napoleons, who, according to French media, “staged a coup” by wooing Obama to Radio France’s headquarters near the Eiffel Tower.
Les Napoleons, which prides itself as an “innovative communications network” for leading players in business, media and culture, was established in 2014. Before Obama dropped by, it was largely unknown to the general public...

According to Moulierac, what won them the high-profile American guest is the appearance of former French President Francois Hollande at the club’s event last July.
“Having Hollande has legitimized us with Obama,” he said.

However, it may not only have been the name of Hollande which attracted the former, still-politically active US president, to the meeting of a three-year-old enterprise, but a hefty fee allegedly promised to him for the opening remarks he delivered Saturday in front of a hand-picked audience of 800.

French satirical magazine Le Canard Enchaine last week said Obama would be paid as much as €400,000, claiming a sponsor of the group, French telecoms group Orange, was to foot the bill.

The report, however, was dismissed by Orange CEO Stephane Richard, who said that he was not aware of the sum, since Orange was not the event’s organizer. The amount, whatever it is, would be paid by the group’s other sponsors, he added.
An anonymous source close to Richard told left-leaning newspaper Liberation that all the group’s partners chipped in to afford Obama...

Updated 1 Dec: Sputnik: Beijing Confidential: ‘Veteran Cadres’ Obama and Xi Attend Hush-Hush Meeting
The meeting between the two was a part of the former US President’s tour around the globe, though it went largely unnoticed by the media...
Chinese state news outlet Xinhua reported that “Xi made a positive appraisal of Obama’s efforts in promoting China-US relations during his presidency.”
“China and the United States have an important responsibility to safeguard world peace and stability.”

Curiously, Obama suggested that despite the end of his career as the US President, “he will continue to play a positive role in promoting mutual understanding, exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.”
Although Obama shifted his tone from being critical of China’s human rights record to a more conciliatory stance during the latest visit, “appreciating China’s development achievements,” the exact purpose of his visit remains unknown.

Obama’s trip to China is even more intriguing, given that his successor, US President Donald Trump, visited the country less than month ago....

When a google employee said there may be differences between men and women, liberals demanded and he was fired.

Let’s see if they’re equally outraged that Obama says there are differences between men and women. /sarc

Lena Dunham, Paula Poundstone, and a hell of a lot of teachers are proof that women can behave in sexually inappropriate manners to those boys and girls they have power over.
