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

It works because it’s true

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?

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
