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.

Yes, it has long struck me that though he’s talked a lot about his father issues (and if by chance he has had bi tendencies from his mentor Davis on, he may have focused more on that), it is, as Spengler wrote early in the campaign, women he’s clearly got issues with. From Hillary to ‘Sweetie’ and now to Sarah Palin.
Well, at the very least, she sure is giving him a spanking.
When men have daughters who reach their teens, they often become much more sensitive to dealing with women at work. And I think the younger generation of men are more used to an equal world. Finally, would the men in their 40’s and 50’s where you work be more often in potential competition with you? If they are, you probably shouldn’t be surprised if they play up any female stereotypes that would give them advantage.
He has been very, very naughty, needs a time out and will get extra chores and no TV for the next year!
Huh?
You're confusing two points:
1) Obama has free will to choose to NOT become a nihilist.There isn't any question of "judging" here - we're making "armchair psychiatrist" guesses, and I'd say that the abandonment by his mother is as good an explanation as any.2) People like Savage & me are free to wonder if the underlying cause of the nihilism which forms the void at the center of Obama's soul is due to his having been abandoned by his mother.
“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”

Exactly. This man shows so many inappropriate behaviors toward women that I have lost count. Either he just doesn’t understand that we will be offended or doesn’t care. I vote the latter.
His grandfather subjected him to Frank Davis as early as age 9. No one in their right mind would subject a child to such an awful man at any age...but 9? I would feel sorry for him in any other circumstance...as a co-worker, friend of a friend, etc. But as a potential POTUS, it is too horrible to even think about. I want people who were raised by a mother and father(even if divorced) who loved them, to hold that office.
I knew it all along...Barak is a nut case...JUST LIKE ME"!
CC, I’m in my early fifties, so I fit in that group of men.
I’m also a veteran of the corporate wars. And I’m white.
In the 1980s and 1990s men of my vintage bore the brunt of all previous generations’ sins—against blacks, against women, against Hispanics, against gays.
We had to be sensitive, and it was too bad that we got passed over for the EOP candidates, Affirmative Action hires, and the quota makers.
I know what it means when women say they have to work harder to get ahead then men. I earned every promotion by working my butt off.
On top of that, we had to be the pioneers in”diversity training” where every value we grew up with had to be challenged, vilified, and reconstructed according to the whims of whacked out lefties.
I left the corporate wars because I was spending more time in the “program of the month” than getting any work done.
I offer that as a possible reason why men of the age range you mention might have problems.
But maybe that was just my experience.
The cure for me was to join a small company where my efforts directly contributed to the bottom line, there were no programs of the month because no one had the time or money for that BS, and there was no corporate bureaucracy of composed of layers of brain dead drones.
I don’t give much stock to psychological mumbo-jumbo, but I know what I see and hear.
I know I saw Obama give Hillary the finger, in public, in a speech.
I know I heard Obama say the Hillary “periodically” gets depressed and hostile.
I know I heard Obama say that Hillary had thrown every dish in the buffet at him.
I know I heard Obama call Sarah Palin a pig.
I know I have seen and heard Obama’s surrogates repeat insults to numerous and too disgusting to list about Sarah Palin.
From these things I has seen and heard, I know that Obama has a problem with women. Why he has this problem, I could not care less. The fact that the problem exists is enough for me to know that we would be better off with somebody else as President.
“But what exactly is Obamas problem with women? “
This question needs to be answered by a woman, not some man pretending to speak for women.
Women know much better what bothers women than a man.
Now ask me about crosscutting a board and I can speak with authority. Ask me what bothers women and I’m tied in knots.
Ladies, you’re on stage...
I may be the oddball on FR, but I don’t think B.O. intended the comment to be against Palin. I am enjoying this immensely, though. There are millions of women who were grossly insulted by this comment. Just ask any husband how easy it’s going to be easy to “unhurt” their feelings.
Make up your mind!
I didn't even know about Frank Davis and had to look it up. This is yet another reason not to have him as POTUS.
Obama is messed up.
Frank Davis was bisexual and wrote porno under a pen name
Gramps smoked pot with Frank from time to time
I thought they liked the idea of Obama having a black mentor. Obama was growing up in Hawaii without knowing any black people
Not a smart article.
Muslims are allowed to lie to the infidels.
My father had this syndrome, I believe. He was born illegitimately in Nazi Germany. The father abandoned them and came to the states. The mother had to do what she had to do to get by. Eventually, came to the states and married a man my father despised. He never recovered.
That may in fact be true. However, even if it was meant in jest, it's open to public scrutiny, and as the aftermath shows, the Obama team, and Obama himself, appears less than stellar in the game of politics.
