Audio: Obama serenades crowd with “I’m Every Woman”
posted at 6:00 pm on September 20, 2008 by Allahpundit
First the Pelosi presser, then the all-female backdrop, now this. What strange new identity politics hath Palinmania wrought, my friends?
Actually, he’s singing about Michelle. Click the image to listen. Exit quotation: “We find it quite perplexing that NOW has chosen to endorse an all-male ticket after not endorsing recent candidates such as Gov. Bill Clinton, Sen. Al Gore, or Sen. John Kerry.”

Aw, c’mon Barry! I coulda told you that!
fiatboomer on September 20, 2008 at 6:04 PM
I cringed. This guy just doesn’t have the charisma of someone like Slick Willy to pull that off.
lodge on September 20, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Rapidly changing subjects…
If Obama wins, it will be reassuring to know that I can totally pwn President Messiah at karaoke.
fiatboomer on September 20, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Sorry, I am not going to listen to this dude sing.
Palin sure is a “fluffy” pick, huh? I fully expect to see Biden sporting red pumps and rimless glasses soon. /sarc
Y-not on September 20, 2008 at 6:06 PM
When you are 20 points down amongst women, what else can you do … And soon everyone will know — Obama/Biden will ban every gun they have the votes for.
So much for the American vote.
tarpon on September 20, 2008 at 6:09 PM
“I’m an angry woman.” That’s Michelle Obama.
D0WNT0WN on September 20, 2008 at 6:09 PM
He’s ahead among women.

OK, why not?

The total wussification of America keeps plodding on.

Suffer me a link Allah. Really, is this according to Gallup or who?
Maxx on September 20, 2008 at 6:13 PM
A lib woman “friend” of mine and Obama swooner admitted, Obama’s every white woman’s fantasy. Her words (nearly an exact quote):
I hope to G-d she’s not typical!
stonemeister on September 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Notice how he tried the “jes’ folks” accent, droppin’ the “g’s” off the ends of his words?
Kentucky Fried Obama?
Wethal on September 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Michelle Obama is “every woman”?
LMAO!!!!! NOT!!!
thats an insult to women!
Sheesh, Obama’s trying to make more people gay!
Chakra Hammer on September 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM
No, CBS/NYT. They had McCain up big among women the week before, and then it turned around.
Allahpundit on September 20, 2008 at 6:15 PM
Not perplexing at all. NOW wouldn’t condemn OJ Simpson after he decapitated his wife and murdered the young man who came to her aid. Their excuse: OJ’s a person of color.
Blake on September 20, 2008 at 6:15 PM
Will Rudiani loan Hussein a dress?
saved on September 20, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Hmm, on the whole I think I preferred McCain, “Bomb, bomb Iran” chorus. Nice beat and you can dance to it, Dick.
Wethal on September 20, 2008 at 6:17 PM
NOW is NOT for Women, NOW is for Killing Babies.
Chakra Hammer on September 20, 2008 at 6:17 PM
There isn’t enough money in the world that could compel me to sit through that.
Okay…maybe there is. But it’d take a LOT.
powerpro on September 20, 2008 at 6:18 PM
I’m every woman was used in Oprah’s commercials back in the day.
CanadianGuy on September 20, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Did NOW ever condemn Clinton for his serial harassing of vulnerable women? Or Sen. Bob Packwood? Of course not, as long as they were “pro-choice,” they could even have been caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, and NOW would still have supported them.
Wethal on September 20, 2008 at 6:19 PM
But Sarah does it and its frowned upon. Gee, that seems like a double standard. /sarc/
vcferlita on September 20, 2008 at 6:20 PM
“I’ve seen her juggle work & parenting…”
Which is great unless you’re VP.
jgapinoy on September 20, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Aaaaarrrgghh!
“Looking over comments. Surely someone has said it already. No? OK.”
jgapinoy on September 20, 2008 at 6:22 PM
If, as Barrry says, Michelle is “the rock of the Obama family”, then why aren’t they running her, not him?
What a putz is he.
petefrt on September 20, 2008 at 6:22 PM
I see now why Oprah would not invite Sarah Palin. They want to make her Idol the First Woman President!
Sickening! Can anyone stop this?!? Somebody! Please!
newton on September 20, 2008 at 6:23 PM
ha,ha…that’s just weird
vcferlita on September 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM
No offense, Allah, but if the New York Times is in any way involved I have to be skeptical.
Disturb the Universe on September 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Well that settles it…now that CBS/NYT’s “polls” show that Ubama is defeating Mccain among women, it must be true.
SaintOlaf on September 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM
I’m every woman, It’s all in me…*Anything you want done baby, she’ll do it naturally.
*Anything does not include Mrs. Obama’s showing up to Ground Zero on the anniversary of 9/11 – among a host of other things she won’t do for this downright mean country.
..Yeah, yeah, yea’aah. Sing it with me Florida!
Teddy on September 20, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Let me know when he is covering this tune.

Will See how serious he is about the woman vote this song could have been tailor made for Sarah Palin.
Dr Evil on September 20, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Before we know it Barbara Walters is going to announce that Sen. Obama will be the new co-anchor of “The View.” Also, a made for television movie on Lifetime shouldn’t be far off!!!
terryannonline on September 20, 2008 at 6:31 PM
Yep, I’d forgot about that one. Forgive me if I don’t give that source a lot of credence. Not that I trust the Post/ABC poll that said the opposite a week earlier either, the truth is probably somewhere in-between.
Maxx on September 20, 2008 at 6:32 PM
So if Clinton was the first black president, will Obama be the first feminine president?
Wethal on September 20, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Sure is.
Nice blog, BTW.
jgapinoy on September 20, 2008 at 6:33 PM
If Mrs. O’s angry scowl inspired a soundtrack, more likely it would be written by Alanis Morrisette circa 1995.
Terrie on September 20, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Light weight pansy .. Putin, Ahmadinejad, etc., lickin’ their chops.
Benjamin9 on September 20, 2008 at 6:38 PM
he’s focusing on women’s issues. Like he would know. he touts equal pay yet pays his women 84 cents and Mccain 1.04 to the men in his senate office.
Mercy4Me on September 20, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Metro sex= I bet he gets his eyebrows waxed, ugh!
Mercy4Me on September 20, 2008 at 6:41 PM
No wonder NOW endorsed 0Bomber if’n hes’ the first woman President then Michelle must be a lesbian, not that theres’ anything wrong with lesbians mind you.
dhunter on September 20, 2008 at 6:49 PM
….Patric Ewing in drag!
….now was that Michelle are Barack?
try again later on September 20, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Ugh. This is a slow farking news day, huh Allah?
ManlyRash on September 20, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Is this Obama’s way of saying, “I am Sarah Palin?”
Ronnie on September 20, 2008 at 6:53 PM
Eww, I mainly question the “man” part. He seems so delicate and frail. Not a turn on at all
Moxie on September 20, 2008 at 6:53 PM
Not like the past few days — every time I came back there was another post. It was great…hard to get away from the ccomputer, but great.
Thanks guys

I was expecting a Lou Rawls impersonation… I’m so dissapointed.
Hog Wild on September 20, 2008 at 7:01 PM
it’s the Meme… Ashley Judd was in town here (Springfield, MO.) and was speaking on behalf of Obama and how he would represent women… a local woman was on tape saying “Obama is the only candidate that will represent women in washington…”
perhaps she’s unaware of the only “woman” on the ticket is on the other side…
Kaptain Amerika on September 20, 2008 at 7:02 PM
We all know who wears the pants around the house.
jencab on September 20, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Any thoughts on why the poll is so volatile? I doubt the public changes their mind that quickly. Is CBS working to numbers and weighting to help Obama here and there? Or are they calling different areas of the country?
Theworldisnotenough on September 20, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Are we soon to see another O magrag in the checkout lane?
ronsfi on September 20, 2008 at 7:05 PM
No Barry, she isn’t- she’s a gorilla jawed, lemon sucking Bit*h. Sarah Palin is “everywoman”. Which, for your information, is a woman who works, cares for the family, goes to a loving church, and still manages to feel good about her country- all with a smile on her face.
definately NOT nasty Michelle.
anniekc on September 20, 2008 at 7:05 PM

SouthernGent on September 20, 2008 at 7:07 PM
I don’t know about the O magrag, but my “MORE” magrag came today, and the nasty Michelle was on the cover- trust me I won’t be reading the article; I’m sure it’s all about how wonderfully “normal” they are.
anniekc on September 20, 2008 at 7:07 PM
No thanks. I will wait for the version from Nose on your face.
Damiano on September 20, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Whenever I see stuff like this, all I can hope is that Hillary has the agenda of all agenda’s up her arse, and there will information forthcoming that denies these two phony’s a shot at the Whitehouse.
anniekc on September 20, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Michelle Obama doesn’t speak for me, thank God.
Connie on September 20, 2008 at 7:13 PM
I have always been thinking that Michelle wears the pants in the Obama family….

Please leave the comments about facial appearance to the Kossacks. Especially the kind that can be construed as racist.
jgapinoy on September 20, 2008 at 7:14 PM
I was wondering what happened to Cynthia “Don’t You Know Who I Am” McKinney.
Ian on September 20, 2008 at 7:16 PM
I thought he was a little too pitchy. Not quite ready for American Idol.
m064404 on September 20, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I second that emotion. Over the line. Definitely.
ronsfi on September 20, 2008 at 7:18 PM
…besides, gorillas have small, rounded jaws, while Mrs. Obama’s is fairly large & square.
jgapinoy on September 20, 2008 at 7:18 PM
Well if Bill Clinton could be the first black President, I see no reason why Barak Obama can’t be the first female President. ;)
Eukardios on September 20, 2008 at 7:18 PM
Don’t quit your day job, Barry….
On second thought, do!
ToddonCapeCod on September 20, 2008 at 7:20 PM
Sorry, but a metrosexual thug politician emasculated by his dominatrix wife is not to my taste.
I prefer a Sun Tzu parody at The Nose on Your Face, titled “The Art of Wahh!!” By Sun Tzussein Obama.

If he doesn’t get a cease-and-desist order, he should…
tgibson1962 on September 20, 2008 at 7:23 PM
McCain has more and better paid women on his staff. He’s is not afraid of strong women. Obama is very afraid of strong women and that’s why the NOW gang likes him. They don’t want to be equal, they want to be feared.
Cindy Munford on September 20, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Timing was horrible. Pitch was fine, but the timing, no Barry, you need singing lessons. Guy.
Seixon on September 20, 2008 at 7:27 PM
Interesting comment Cindy.

another Change!
Talk about confusing the Liberal Femenists!!haha.
canopfor on September 20, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Well ManlyRash, here’s something to brighten your day:
The debate moderators are:
Presidential – Lehrer, Brokaw, Schieffer
Vice – Gwen Ifill
Fair and balanced all the way.

CapedConservative on September 20, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Its obvious Hillary will come back to fight another day.
These two guys on the dem will crash and burn, in a political sense.
johnnyU on September 20, 2008 at 7:39 PM
I guess “racism” has us all by the short hairs- I certainly wasn’t trying to equate Black=gorilla, you did that on your own, Pal.
anniekc on September 20, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Honestly, other than Schieffer, I’m pretty happy.
Ian on September 20, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I don’t care what some NYT poll said, women do not change their minds that easily.
The truth is Sarah Palin has a lot more in common with the average American woman than some loud mouth terminally angry activist from NOW.
And I resent the whole womens issue thing. What is that supposed to be anyway? As if I don’t think about and care about the same things a real person does.
Terrye on September 20, 2008 at 7:41 PM
mindhacker on September 20, 2008 at 7:32 PM
If they were interested in equality, they would not say the things they do about conservative women in general and Gov. Palin specifically. By their own standards, she is a success but because she doesn’t want to emasculate men, she is to be despised.
Cindy Munford on September 20, 2008 at 7:42 PM
Womens Issue thing aka abortion
Jamson64 on September 20, 2008 at 7:43 PM
In fact I would say that Michelle Obama probably wears the jock strap in that family. I get the feeling that Obama is a sissy. A real sissy.
Terrye on September 20, 2008 at 7:44 PM
anniekc on September 20, 2008 at 7:39 PM
It’s just what years of p.c. will do for you. It’s funny sometimes I think Mrs. Obama is really stunning and other times she looks very harsh. Odd isn’t it. Probably like that for all of us.
Cindy Munford on September 20, 2008 at 7:44 PM
Jamson:
Oh yeah and a real female like Sarah Palin would not know a thing about abortions and babies. We need Obama to take care of us. He is so big and strong. And yes I am kidding.
Terrye on September 20, 2008 at 7:45 PM
Reminds me of that Jerry Seinfeld episode in which he dates a girl who, under certain lighting conditions, looks ravishing and, in other conditions, looks hideous.
ManlyRash on September 20, 2008 at 7:46 PM
Cindy:
At the risk sounding nasty, I will say that I think Michelle Obama looks mean. Downright mean.

No woman, regardless of how physically attractive she is, can harbor deep-seated resentment, bitterness and anger and prevent them from oozing out of her soul and solidifying under the skin, where they permanently damage whatever beauty she may have had.
ManlyRash on September 20, 2008 at 7:50 PM
Manly Rush:
I would say that went for men too. Michelle is not a pleasant looking person. She just isn’t.

I am trying really hard not to let my political beliefs bleed over into my judgment about visuals. That being said (nasty alert) between the fact that she looks angry SO often and she took her two young children to a hate filled church their entire lives, I am afraid I don’t cut her a lot of slack either.

Maybe NOW is afraid of strong women. They don’t want to be equal, they want to be victims?

I think this is why Jessie and Al were trying to claim during the primaries that Obama wasn’t authentically black enough…

Obama gets an invite out:

Well,ah um,I would um like to go out a for a bit,um guys,
