Barack Obama compared Sarah Palin to a pig with lipstick. This is the beginning of the end of Obamas campaign. But what exactly is Obamas problem with women? Why have women abandoned his campaign in droves? To find the answer we must return to Obamas childhood and examine his relationship with his mother.
In 1961, Obamas mother, Ann Dunham, married Obamas father, a man from Kenya. He abandoned the family. Within three years, they were divorced. In 1967, his mother married another man, this time an Indonesian. A few years later she was divorced again. Through all this time, Obamas mother went globetrotting; from Hawaii, to Indonesia, to Pakistan. Sometimes she took her young son. Sometimes she left him behind.
What appears to have happened to Obama as a result is he developed symptoms of what psychologists refer to as an Oedipal Complex. In an Oedipal Complex, a male child is fixated on his mother and competes with his father for maternal attention. In such cases, a critical point of awakening occurs where the child realizes that the mother has affections for others besides himself. In this case, Obama had to compete with multiple paternal stand-ins and was never fully able to bond with his mother. The result seems to have been a resentment towards women that he has never been able to get beyond.

So what your saying is Michelle is the father image, Ok I’ll go with that!
I think he’s more Muslim than Christian. I just want him to lose and lose badly.
I think you summed it up really well.
Michael often looks like a fool but not here. I have seen it in other guys whose moms have abandoned their kids and floated around doing what they felt like doing.
I would add that it is compounded by him going to an Islamic school and by the fact that his grandfather was a misogynist, too. Look at that story where his grandfather made old white grandma wait out at the bus-stop where she was being harrassed...the same man who was so disappointed he didn't get a boy that he named his daughter Stanley.
I think there is a chance that he doesn't hate all women, but at the very least he hates white women.
Of course.
Generally speaking, I think Michael Savage is irritating and way off base on a lot of issues. On this matter, I’m abit bit inclined to go with the “even a stopped clock...”
apparently Obama has his own women problems but Blond ones.
Pretty silly ladies
All Cynthia'd and Sadie's
Call him and he takes their numbers down
Says he is a woman
Should have seen it coming
And she says she's married to a clown
Just like a lady she'll keep you guessing through the night
Not tonight,well I might,oh alright
I could be wrong, but I think McCain admires strong, smart women. It helps if they are good-looking, too.:)
Michelle was the "right" woman for the constituency Obama needed to win over. Given Obama's political aspirations and the neighborhood he picked to begin his career, his wife would have to be African-American and more a part of the Black community than he was. So Barack may resent having his options limited by his political aspirations.
Obama comes from a very different background from John Kennedy, but for both men the women they married may not have been the ones they'd have chosen for themselves if politics hadn't been a factor, and there may be some resentment about that.
It's clear that Obama had a problem with his father, and maybe with his mother as well but it's not always easy to separate out his own psyche from the problems that middle-aged guys do have with changing standards of political correctness.
I also think McCain is very respectful of women. Have you noticed that when he is standing with Sarah, Todd, and his wife that McCain also moves his wife over so she is standing between himself and Sarah Palin?
As a female in a mainly male line of work, I have found generally that the biggest problems with sexism is from guys in their early 40's to their early 50's. I don't know if it was just a weird generation thing or a time of insecurity, but the old guys aren't a problem and neither are the young ones.
I think the poor child suffered from the lack of a close, loving relationship with his mother and the lack of a strong, steady father. The funny thing about people who suffer from mental disorders or whatever, is that they don’t know it and would deny it if you told them.
This reminds of a friend of mine from HS. She was/is insane. She was going to divorce her first husband and told me of her plans and I encouraged her to try to work it out for the kids. Her reply was that she was the product of divorce and there was nothing wrong with her.
0bama strikes me as the same, he thinks there is nothing wrong with him just the rest of the world. I don’t hate him but I love America and we don’t need another extremely dysfunctional president.

This thread looks promising - Obama clearly has issues.
I see that in him too. I see it in his inability to ever admit he is wrong or has made a mistake.
Savage does that regularly, IMHO.
Calm down, a lot of people have had lousy raising and they are adult enough to rise above it, some never do. I could tell you stories too.
He sees Sarah Palin as the mother he WISH he had....
YES !
You are right about that. One must be careful about holding a persons relatives against him.
But in this case, I do think his father, step father, and mother all give clues about who Obama is, how he thinks, and how he got that way. We really don't have anything else to go on. He has no legislative or executive record. What he says in his campaign is just words.
Personally, when electing a President, if a person is a closet psychopath because he was mistreated or abandoned by a bad parent as a child, it is relevant. The fact that Obama wrote a book glorifying his deadbeat father adds to my worry. We don't want an unstable person running the country.
This is not to say that I don't have some sympathy for a person who was raised up by a mixed up mother only to be abandoned to his grandparents. I just don't want to get mixed up in that persons world. Putting him in the Oval Office is something that should be opposed vigorously.
