Obama’s women problem

● The No. 1 issue women said was a priority for them is health care. Obamacare remains deeply unpopular with the American people, and women are even more opposed to it than men. Polls show 52 percent of women want the Supreme Court to overturn Obamacare, compared to 48 percent of men. If Obamacare is front and center in the fall campaign, the president will be fighting an uphill battle with women voters on the issue.

● The No. 2 issue women identified on their list of priorities: Gas prices. Not a winning issue for the president. Americans disapprove of how Obama is handling the the rise in prices by wide margins.

● The No. 3 issue for women? Unemployment. As Team Romney is quick to point out, women account for more than 92 percent of the job losses since Obama took office, and a recent Pew study found that “women are the only group for whom employment growth lagged behind population growth from 2009 to 2011.” Absent a sudden economic turnaround, unemployment — particularly women’s unemployment — will be a major challenge for the president this November.

Can we hear about his economy, unemployment, anti-energy, luddite science, and unconstitutional problems?

There are males and females in america and every one of them should have a problem with this anti american alinsky destroyer.

Let’s just say it this way:

Obama’s People problem

Obama’s truth problem

Obama’s rule of law problem

Or..

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground. Thomas Jefferson

Obama has a problem alright, it’s called Obama.

Yet the numbers say otherwise! LOL.

As is to be expected, a lot of snarling Leftist Hate for Marc in the WaPo Comments:

Since their victories in 2010, Rs have been up front about their agenda for women, as seen across the country. Make reproductive choice more difficult and slash funding for needy women and their children.

Straight out of the RNC playbook. No one will buy this other than the dittohead Republican base.

Black is white. Up is down. Rape is protection. Sexism is fairness. Good to know the republicans are protecting women by oppressing them.

The Rethugs like Thiessen think we are all stupid.

(You are!)

Oh, there’s a war on women, all right. I just love it when men tell women what they think. Points 2, 3 and 4 are all lingering issues from 8 years of a Republican president.

Against my better judgement, I clicked in here to see if Thiessen actually had something pertinent to say for a change. I see he still only spews already discredited zombie GOP lies. I’m going back to ignoring him since he is nothing more than an irrelevant hack.

Obama doesn’t have a women problem. He is a woman.

I’m thinking more along the lines of the whiney Urkel.

Bull. PBHO has shown solidarity with women by wearing their kind of jeans.

Bishop on April 13, 2012 at 5:44 PM

And what was that unemployment figure for women?
Oh yeah nearly 2 MILLION more women out of the labor force, that is, forced to become stay at home mommies.

OkieDoc on April 13, 2012 at 5:44 PM

The No. 3 issue for women? Unemployment. As Team Romney is quick to point out, women account for more than 92 percent of the job losses since Obama took office

92%? Huh? That can’t be right. There’s no way that’s even close to right.

That is the right number if u calculate starting Jan ’09. But the obamedia has been throwing a hissy fit because that’s before Obama’s awesome policies had time to take effect or something.

I find that incredible given that the population is 50/50 and anything related to male:female could be 92% female.

HondaV65 on April 13, 2012 at 5:17 PM

Whose numbers? In the end the distorted ones the Left relies on will only serve to sandbag your side. Just like in ’04 when all the Dim-o-crats were stunned that Bush was re-elected. But keep deluding yourself. We like it when you do that.

cicerone on April 13, 2012 at 6:47 PM

Here it is in a nutshell, throughout the campaign of ’08, we had editorials,and pictures of Odumbo’s glistening pecs, and the crease in his pants, etc. ALL that crap written and slobbered over by MEN, not women so much. So here he and his campaign are thinking his “sex appeal(?)” was such that women would find him irresistable, and were a demographic that he didn’t have to worry about. Bull puckey. REAL women knew exactly what he was/is, it’s the metrosexual MEN who were having a bromance and leading the meme.
