Obama loses women’s support

Female voters have turned their backs on President Obama in droves, a development that Democrats vow to reverse as Mr. Obama gears up his re-election campaign.

In 2008, women helped deliver the presidency to Mr. Obama, voting for the Democrat 56 percent to 43 percent over Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican. Men split their votes between the two candidates almost evenly.

Black and white women turned out to vote in substantially higher numbers than their male counterparts, also boosting Mr. Obama’s victory margin.

There was a startling turnaround two years later. Mr. Obama wasn’t on the 2010 midterm ballot, but his agenda was. Female voters defected from the Democratic Party in historic numbers. Postelection surveys found female voters preferred Republican congressional candidates over Democrats, 49 percent to 48 percent - the first time in at least 30 years that Republican candidates received a majority of women’s votes.

“The explanation for that is really economic,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, new chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. “Women make so many of the economic decisions in households. And so the struggle economically is really borne by women, especially women who are heads of their own households.”

Some Democrats say a midterm shellacking is typical for the incumbent president's party and note that Mr. Obama also lost ground with other key voting groups, including seniors and independents.

But Republicans say the reason for the defections go beyond the recession and that women in particular are reacting to Mr. Obama’s overall agenda.

“I don’t know how she [Ms. Wasserman Schultz] keeps up with everything,” Mr. Obama said at a fundraiser in Washington. “But as [wife] Michelle [Obama] said, ‘If you want something done, put a woman in charge.’ “

I do know that I, personally, am done with the GOP establishment and if Romney or another like him is crammed down our throats in ‘12 I’ll sit out my first presidential election ever.

I honestly don't believe that Romney will ever be the nominee but if that did happen, it'll be time to write in Sarah's name and start a third party for 2016.

I know many women that detest Barry Obama (I’m one of them). My oldest daughter is 26, none of her friends can stand him.

And more and more of the younger women are becoming vocal about pro-life issues.

DOn’t paint all females with the same brush.

[SunkenCiv]

He’ll blame it on the Weiner. Thanks Cincinatus’ Wife.

[mad_as_he$$]

This article is wishful thinking and meant to but the Reps at ease. I talk to many people everyday and there are two areas where I do not see 0’s support waning. Women and younger black males.

BS. As long as Barry supports and defends the wholesale slaughter of innocent, unborn babies Barry will have the support of women.

It is sad commentary about our culture when the primary concern of women is the ability to terminate their offspring.

“Women make so many of the economic decisions in households. And so the struggle economically is really borne by women, especially women who are heads of their own households.”

Our culture, being atheistic secular, socially and economically encourages women to get married, have 2 children and then divorce.


The incentive:
60% of the father's after tax disposable income(tax free income)for 23 years; 50%+ of marital assets, both current and future (assets already in wills); 50% of secondary education tuition at the university of her choosing for the children (tax free income); free medical coverage for her and their children for 23 years(tax free income); 50% of co-pays reimbursed by the father for her and their children (tax free income); 50% of braces costs for the children (tax free income);Free babysitting service every other weekend (tax free income - as only 4 days a month is hardly enough to maintain a "paternal" relationship with children); Attorney fees paid for by the father of their children (tax free income); 50% of retirement she potentially never contributed to (tax free income)....and more.


Is there ANY doubt that Women are being bought by the left? Is there any doubt that they will certainly sell their souls to keep their earthly goods? I know VERY few women who don't believe they are entitled to do this to the father of their children. Most women I know, have already performed this and some more than once. But, they'll all say, "I don't need a man." LOL, no they only need his children, then they have his livelihood for life.


Now that's what I call independent women and gender equality. /s

Fear trumps abortion rights.

The fear of doom is real and personal. The right for an abortion is theoretical and for someone else.

Women do most of the purchasing for the family. The see the higher food, gas, utility prices directly. They see their men losing jobs or at a minimum, not getting raises. People are getting squeezed. Waiting 4 years for hope and change ain’t gonna cut it.

[Republic of Texas]

As a rule, women change their minds every five minutes. This story means nothing.

[Republic of Texas]

You are exactly right. It’s these women, who see men only as a slave who must support their lifestyle, that will vote for Obama no matter what.

[liberalh8ter]

There’s another cliche you forgot; we NEVER forget ANYTHING.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I don’t know what “rule” book you use but I say you’re all wet about that broad brush statement.

[Republic of Texas]

You’re right, I forgot to include vindictive.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I think Rush calls her Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz!

[Republic of Texas]

As a rule usually means “most”. If you aren’t in that group, don’t take offense.

[liberalh8ter]

I’ll get you for that!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Nice you made that “adjustment” Republic of Texas ‘cause as they say, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Hey, maybe that could help here. Ya think?

[jmaroneps37]

THAT is a BIG swing! Now whose left? Blacks and a shrinking number of Hispanics.

[Buckeye McFrog]

and he ain’t gonna win them back with “all-abortion-all-the-time”

[driftless2]

Let me see, so instead of getting sixty percent of the female vote as he did in 2008, Obama will probably get only hmmm...about 59%. Yeah, that’s a huge dropoff. In the end, all the women who voted for him in 2008 will think “gee, if those nasty Republicans get in, sixteen year old girls might not be able to get an abortion. They might even have to notify their parents when they get pregnant. How awful.” There has been no diminution in the support for Obama from my three lib sisters. They think The Great Spreader is just wonderful. Yes, they’re all over fifty, no young adults.
