Obama to Women: Mitt Romney Wants to Drag You Back in Time

It works because it’s true
Politics • Views: 22,105

The Republican Party has handed Barack Obama a perfect wedge issue by waging total war on women’s rights, and the President is exploiting it — as he should: Obama: Mitt Romney ‘Backward’ on Women.

President Barack Obama told a group of women on Friday that he has been their fiercest advocate and warned that Mitt Romney’s positions on women’s issues represent a step back in time.

“The choice between going backward or moving forward has never been so clear,” Obama told several hundred women at the National Issues Conference, a big-ticket annual fundraiser that’s been hosted by the Democratic National Committee for nearly two decades.

“And as long as I’m president, we are going to keep moving forward. You can count on that. You don’t have to take my word on it – you’ve got my signature on it,” he said, referring to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, before adding a jab at the Romney campaign, which expressed uncertainty recently about whether the candidate supported the law. “Because something like standing up for the principle of equal pay for equal work isn’t something I’ve got to ‘get back to you on’ – it’s the first law I signed.”

And a typically illiterate response from the world’s dumbest wingnut blogger: OBAMA DECLARES WAR on CHRISTIANS… Says Not Supporting FREE Birth Control Is Like “Being in a Time Machine” | the Gateway Pundit.

Race war, war on the rich, war on women, now this…
Barack Obama Declared War on the Catholic Church and US Christians today.

In Obama’s world, free birth control is a natural human right and should be supplied by the state.
But he’s not a socialist?

Fisheries Could Be in Hot Water Due to Climate Change
As our planet warms from excess carbon in the atmosphere, some of that heat is absorbed by the ocean. Fish and invertebrates are responding to warming waters by moving to higher latitudes or deeper waters where the water is cooler, and it was expected that these shifts would eventually affect availability of some commercially harvested species. "Eventually" may be now. Ocean warming has ...

Men Are Being Sexually Assaulted in the Military, but Nobody Is Talking About It — the Good Men Project
Our Soldiers are being raped...by our Soldiers. In the U.S. Military, annually, more men are being raped by men than women are being raped by men. I state this fact, articulating it in this manner, not to diminish what these women are enduring but to raise the level of awareness and discourse to fully include the men; they have been dropping through the ...

The Greatest (Movie) Speech Ever Made
73 years later is still relevant and powerful as ever. It's also because of this movie that Charlie Chaplin was labelled a "premature anti-fascist."
