President Barack Obama will on Tuesday discuss a topic he is familiar with from his childhood – American women living in economic insecurity and trying to be breadwinners and caregivers at the same time.
Raised by a single mother who was described as someone who struggled to pay the bills, Obama on Tuesday will meet with Maria Shriver, who is reporting on some 42 million women who she says live “one single incident – a doctor's bill, a late paycheck, or a broken-down car – away from economic ruin."
Shriver's latest investigation in her series from "The Shriver Report" is titled: "A Woman's Nation Pushes Back from the Brink."
The report finds that women comprise up two-thirds of the primary or co-breadwinners in American families. The average female earns 77 cents for every dollar pulled down by a man...

Puke.
you mean “Skeletor Shriver?”
She can tell them they should have had a bootlegger grandfather, then life’d be good.
The feminism sword is double edged. Free sex with no worries of pregnancy means the same for men. All fun and no responsibility. And of course, no commitment. Many men like that.
Extreme feminists probably end up old and bitter and lonely. I wonder how many have regrets when the “clock” has wound down.
maybe Maria might tell Obama to stop destroying the American economy and millions of jobs ... employment is a key pathway to getting out of poverty.
maybe Maria might tell Obama to stop destroying American businesses, particularly small and medium sized businesses and family-run shops, etc. business is a key pathway to getting out of poverty.
maybe Maria might tell Obama to stop forcing people onto federal welfare programs, extensions of unemployment (same thing), or into filing fake or exaggerated disability claims (same thing). Getting off the dole and back to work is a key pathway to getting out of poverty.
The Kennedys know ALL about poverty (of morals).
They can tell them what they really think. That they should have chosen their parents more carefully & been born rich. Maria did it, why didn't they?
What do you think the chances are that their conversation sounds like that?
That is what I was thinking, send in wealthy leftists who never did a real job in their life to talk about poverty.
How condescending is that?
Nonsense. Get real people in poverty to talk about the issue. Won’t happen. Same propaganda, nothing changes.
That’ll fix ‘er !

You're right - not one day...
99.44%. ????? I can dream, can’t i?
I wonder just how many these days even know the term from Mom "Just wait till your father gets home!!" and the fear of God that it carried while she keeps that home humming (working mom or no; doesn't matter). Conversely, when things broke and Dad fixed things instead of replacing them or calling "the repair guy" all the time. I guess what I am getting at is I liked your last sentence. We need a "system restore". Men and Women have their strengths and weakness' and we compliment each other for a reason when we step back and just realize that.
Why not ask the mother with 3 children who’s husband decided to take off and leave her on her own.
Make a lot more sense than two people who want for nothing.
God I'm so glad that there are no men in this position or dying of cancer. Normal heterosexual men can just go to hell because we don't count. Only women, queers and minorities are important or to be concerned about apparently.
“Raised by a single mother who was described as someone who struggled to pay the bills,”
Millions of Americans now struggle to pay bills due to Obamas destruction of the American economy.
The living wage, same pay was men regardless of performance and paid sick leave are some of the obvious ones they are told to demand from elected as new Federal laws..
And she told them to train their sons when young to vote for this crap.
