The young woman who was called a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh got a call Friday from President Obama who voiced support for her pro-birth control advocacy.
"He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women," Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports." She got the call from Obama while in a green room waiting to appear on the show.
"What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud and that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me," Fluke said. "So I just appreciated that very much."
Soon after she appeared on TV, Fluke also thanked Obama on her Twitter account. "Thank you @BARACKOBAMA for your call and words of support. It means so much to me and millions of women! #WeWillNotBeSilenced," she wrote.

He will pay dearly and make the woman a hero among liberals. Well; they sorely need one; since Cindy Sheehan is WAY past her 15 minutes worth!

Obama has brought yet another level of meaning to the political phrase “pandering to the base”.
These people may be “base” but they’re his political base, and he’s magic, apparently.
We should probably just be grateful that Obama did not have the gall to say to this wench, “Go, and sin no more.”
