Obama: I Am 'What a Feminist Looks Like'
MSNBC ^ | 15 Jun 2016 | Irin Carmon

Posted on 06/15/2016 7:42:56 AM PDT by mandaladon

Fresh off endorsing a woman to succeed him in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama stood before 5,000 convened as part of a White House summit on women and delivered his most robustly feminist speech yet.

"I may be a little grayer than I was eight years ago," Obama told the advocates. "But this is what a feminist looks like."

While he said little about the presidential election, Obama's words implicitly drew a contrast between the majority-female, diverse Democratic coalition and the party of Trump.

"You hear politicians peddle the fiction that blocking immigrants or cutting off trade or 'big government' are all to blame" for economic hardship, Obama said. "But we know what the causes are: The rise of global competition, the weakening of the labor movement and participation in unions, the automation of more jobs, the race of technology — all these trends have the potential of leaving workers behind. They let a few at the top do even better. And we see some of those divisions not just between groups, but within groups. There are women who have never had more opportunity, but there are a lot of women who are still stuck in the toughest of economic circumstances."

Obama said that his daughter Malia's high school graduation last week — here, he recreated a half-suppressed whimper — led him to reflect on "this extraordinary time for women in America."

Charting the progress of women since his birth, from access to contraception to women in space, Obama said, "We have to celebrate it, but we have to remember that progress is not inevitable. It's the result of slow, tireless, often frustrating and unheralded work."

Us real men already know that. Of course, he is a modern feminist. I consider myself an old school feminist, the way it should be.

In obama’s religion, being a “feminist” makes him a heretic. (On the other hand, in referring to himself maybe he meant “feminine”.)

>>> Our effeminate leader is a Muslim feminist ... <<<

I agree with Obama’s self assessment, today’s feminists are as ugly looking as him.

>>> Obama said that his daughter Malia’s high school graduation last week — here, he recreated a half-suppressed whimper — led him to reflect on “this extraordinary time for women in America.” <<<<

WHAT THE HECK IS HE TALKING ABOUT???!!!???

He sounded like hardly any black female graduating from high school in today’s America. Hello, if there are black female not graduating from high school, that was by their own choice. Nobody impede them for that accomplishment.

I’m from the government and I’m here to help you consign the remainder of your life to a dependence on public assistance.

This is truly where the left meets the GOPe.

Greta did an interview with the Iman associated with POS islamic terrorist.

It was rich. Asked about the Presidential candidates what he said about Hillary was funny. Paraphrased, islam does not allow women to hold such office. Taking it further (again paraphrased) it was a PMS thing. A woman's finger should not be on the button, especially if she was on her “ menses.”

LMAO!!!! If anyone other than an islamic made that statement, Hillary would be repudiating him so fast our heads would swim. What if Trump made that statement? The left’s collective head would explode at a level which would make Hiroshima nothing more than a big fart.


#islam hates menses & those who have them
