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.

I guess that, if they are already leaning toward McCain, they would prefer a woman on the ticket with him.

[Prole]

Right.

Well, for me it's either Governor Steele or Governor Palin.

McCain is toast without either one of those folks.

Governor Palin is my favorite because she could create an energy plan for the Republic using Alaska's untouched resources of energy.

A large number of American women will probably vote for her. The nasty Code Pink women will not, but a large number of American women will vote for her.

All we have to do is keep exposing Obama's misogynistic and sexist attitude toward women.

He made a recent gaffe when he referred to a female reporter as "sweetie."

With each passing day, I can only hope his growing arrogance continues to fuel his gaffes and egocentrism.

That way, it's easier to expose his true colors.

[mylife]

Sorry.

I couldnt resist.

Does Michelle, alias Mrs. B,O,HSSEIN, have her Flying Broomsticks manufactured by hand in the U.S.A. by Louisville Slugger or does she get magical mystery ones handcarved in Kenya?

[True Republican Patriot]

Governor Paulin is a Republican and would be the VEEP for McCain!!! not B.O. BinLaden HUSSEIN! :-)

[ishabibble]

Excellent points!

[True Republican Patriot]

Mrs. B.O. HUSSEIN couldn’t get into Princeton University on her own merits, grades and test scores. They were too LOW! She attended Princeton University under the Affirmative Action Program. Her thesis was quite a work of misspellin and poorly written theories on Racial isolation vs Absorption of which most of the chosen surveyees declined to participate. Its very iteresting reading and insights into a potential FOTUS.

If McCain picks Governor Sarah Palin for VP, he will win in a landslide.
Not only will he win the Hillary camp,

Nope the trouble is most will vote agenda over anything else.

They want a woman not a pro life conservative woman.

[amigatec]

bflr

[littlehouse36]

And we’ve worried about what Hillary would do to Obama. Maybe it’s the other way around.

[landerwy]

I see what your saying. I think in most cases VP selection is overrated.

A skunk in a dress, wearing perfume, and with a beautiful well-behaved cat is still a skunk.

[Prole]

Well, then that proves how dangerous they all are.

Given the nasty tyrants running nations like Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and Syria, I have to say that it's sickening to imagine Obama and "his spiritual advisers" Farrakhan, Wright and Pfleger in charge.

Heaven help us all if that happens.

I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her in Michelle Obama. She is the loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal fascism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to hide. Barack Obama is more practiced at keeping the mask up. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princeton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didn’t belong and she probably didn’t, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldn’t stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.
Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.

I wish All Freepers would read your post here, it is EXCELLENT and to the point. The highlighted article You have included is a MUST READ! Thank you muchly...:-)

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Yes, many will back Obama, but Democrats, unlike Republicans, don't fall in line.

Lost me right here.

[neverdem]

Lost me right here.

Just think Ralph Nader or Pat Buchanon. Now consider the feminazis. All sides have "true believers" who are truly aggrieved. It's a matter of degree. How many will hold their noses, or how many will protest?
