Obama Plans Big Effort to Build Support Among Women
New York Times ^ | March 10, 2012 | by Jackie Calmes

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s re-election campaign is beginning an intensified effort this week to build support among women, using the debate over the new health care law to amplify an appeal that already appears to be benefiting from partisan clashes over birth control and abortion.

On Monday, mailings will go out to 1 million women in more than a dozen battleground states in three separate versions for mothers, young women and older women, Democratic Party officials said.

An effort called “Nurses for Obama” will begin on Wednesday, with nurses nationwide enlisted to be advocates for the health care law in their communities. And a new Web site will include links to video testimonials about the health care overhaul signed by Mr. Obama in 2010, including from a former critic who subsequently was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Through the month, ending with what the campaign’s headquarters has designated a “Women’s Week of Action,” campaign field offices will organize phone banks, campus activities, house parties and media events featuring local residents helped by the law, officials say.

The campaign is trying to use the political climate to regain the traditional Democratic advantage among women, even as moderate Republican and independent women voice disenchantment with the Republican focus on social issues.

The administrarion and the NY Times are living in a bubble. Most women I know are flipping mad that the administration thInks it can insert itself into the religious beliefs of the Catholic Church over the birth control issue.

It's not women's issues either.

It's pandering and nothing else.

0bama doesn't give a flying about anyone outside of the 0bama agenda.

Well, if it works, those sucked in by it will deserve everything that they get.

The rest of us will know who to blame.

In other words, 0 thinks most women are gullible enough to fall for his crap. Like an abused woman stating that she KNOWS her husband didn’t mean it and “will be better from now on.” While he fully intends to keep up the abuse.

Women will never vote for obama.

Womyn, on the other hand, crave only their abortions and will vote for him at least twice.

I am embarrassed that many women are stupid enough to fall for this emotional manipulation. I also want to ask them ‘ when Obama said he wanted to fundamentally change America did you think he meant for the better’????? I hope the Panderer-in-Chief has finally arrived at his Waterloo. None too soon.

This is true. A friend of mine at work who is a BIG lib is mad at this. She may be a lib but resents the idea of forcing people to act against their conscience.

It is time that we all recognized how effective the Communist attempts at subversion of the USA in the last 50+ years have been.

Women should really feel used the way the Democrats are trying to manipulate and lie them. It reminds me of the times I have warned young women about guys telling them they love them just to take them to bed.

The lying sack of crap throws more excrement against the wall to see if it sticks.

This week, King Liar focuses on women. Last week, it was blacks. Next month, it’ll be the poor. In January, it was youth.

“I’ve got no record of success,” the buffoon says, “but I HAVE started up a group named after your demographic that wants you to vote for me!”

Pet Owners for Obama.
Construction Workers for Obama.
Bridge Club Players for Obama.
1973 Gremlin Drivers for Obama.
