What About Women?

Women vote. Women are more than half the population of this country. The majority of Democrats in much of the country. But women support HRC right? Well, kind of.

Black women apparently support BO. Rich women apparently support BO as well. Educated women support BO also. Ditto young women. HRC is left with poor, elderly, uneducated, white women (at least according to the mass media.) I'm not poor, I am educated, and I'm not old, so according to the gurus at CNN I ought to be supporting BO. Well, let me tell you, I've tried, but I just can't get my head around what he's talking about. I guess I just need some reassurance. I hear him speak and just hear the same old platitudes politicians always crap on about when they are trying to get elected. I listen to Hillary and hear real workable ideas. Step by step plans to accomplish real goals that would help not only women, but children, the disadvantaged, the environment, everyone really. I guess I'm just not hearing BO correctly. He's the change guy, after all. One thing that I'm pretty sure I did hear correctly was the "claws" comment he made about the HRC campaign. It did kind of sound sexist to me, but that must have just been my imagination because the media sure didn't have anything to say about it. And we all know that the patriarchal, male owned, controlled, and dominated mass media is always ready to step right up to the bat on women's issues, right? They wouldn't let BO get away with a sexist crack against his opponent right? Right? I mean they were all over Bill when he played the, oh I can hardly say it, the... race card! in South Carolina. If BO had actually played the sexist card I'm sure the media would have pilloried him like they pilloried Bill. Yeah, they would have. Sure. Well, I'm pretty sure. Hmm.
