Obama is a Ladies Man, Hilary is just... a Man

It seems Obama is having no trouble with the ladies- well, except for Hilary Clinton whose sex is still debatable. Recently Obama met with Women who are mothers and working at least one job. He wanted to hear how they felt about their jobs and the answers were synonymous- these women are very overwhelmed. I found it refreshing to see a candidate reaching out to a lesser known group of hard working Americans. Whether it is because they are polite and quiet about their digressions, or it is just conveniently overlooked, working mothers seemed to get the blunt of things. Although I feel very sympathetic for these women, I am not sure how Obama could necessarily reach out specifically to this group of people. Should male single parents not receive any compensation or help? Or not even be interviewed for a news report on their feelings? Obama decided the best route to go with this was that the aid would be directed towards “families.” Fox News Reported:

“Obama said helping parents juggle family and work when their children are young
will pay off in increased productivity in the long run.
‘It's very similar to
the mistake we make with Health Care in this country, where we don't provide
people with health care up front, so people put off basic prevention and we end
up seeing them in the emergency room where we pay twice as much,’ he said.”


Although I am touched by this sad story and the loving, sensitive side that Obama has for women, I cannot help but wonder, where is this money going to come from? Obama may have scored points with the poor but it’s not doing much for me. The only thing I can admire in Obama is that he’s a hottie and he’s somewhat sincere. At least he doesn’t plant questions like Hilary. Oh well, hopefully everyone will be so tired of hearing about Hilary when election time comes around they will vote for ANYONE but her.

i completely agree. And although i do agree that we are unsure of where the money will come from i do think that its kind of a good idea... I read an article basically saying how Hilary is using her sex as a sheild like saying how people are picking on her soley because shes a woman, and i thought it sort of applied to this, because Obama is really going out there and working for other people ...

haha I enjoyed this post. I also read an editorial last week saying that Obama claims that Hillary is using her gender as a "shield," which I defintely agree with. When she doesn't know the asnwer to something, or falls behind on a certain issue or in a certain debate, she pulls the excuse that she is a woman and that she is being treated unfairly. Enough already, we get it. She is a woman and deserves respect. However, if she expects to become the next president, she needs to stop using excuses and blaming others. She needs to step up to the plate and deal with what she is given.

First of all your title is hilarious! I am with gurnick on this one. You learn a new thing everyday and while I knew she was manly...I never could imagine that she was actually a man. I just wanted to comment on your title really, but great post.

Haha I love your title and your blog was entertaining to read as well.
I agree that I'd rather have anyone else voted as president instead of her. I do not think she should be usually her gender to get out of answering the important questions that presidents should be able to answer. She really needs to step up and start dealing with the issues she talks about. Hillary is just all talk and no action.
