So, the feminists threw...

...women under the bus for President William Jefferson Clinton.

Now, it appears the Congressional Black Caucus is throwing their constituency under the bus for President Barack Hussein Obama.

Cleaver: If Obama wasn't president, we would be ‘marching on the White House’ (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/182209-cbc-chairman-if-obama-wasnt-in-office-we-would-be-marching-on-white-house)


"If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House," Cleaver told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday. "There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president."
Hmmm... We'll ignore the problems this president is causing blacks because, it would tend to validate what our Republican opponents are saying.

Of course, Obama isn't without his women problems either...

No criticism from women's groups (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0911/No_criticism_from_womens_groups.html)

Where is NOW? Where is the NAACP?

Well, at least Ralph Nader has had enough!

I don't think you'll find anyone on this board who gives a shit about egalitarianism. Not all democrats are egalitarians yoni, nor do they have to be.

[Crookshanks]

Face it Yoni - the Political forum has become quite lame and boring. Very, very few interesting threads in here.

Seems as though his White House isn't as friendly to women as a feminist might believe a Democrat White House would be.

So what

Where are the outraged feminists?

Just as with Bill Clinton, it appears they're willing to throw women under the bus in the hopes of advancing a political agenda.

Persistent Complaints of Sexism in Obama White House (http://news.firedoglake.com/2011/09/20/persistent-complaints-of-sexism-in-obama-white-house/)

"Hostile Workplace" Quote Verified on Tape (http://politicalwire.com/archives/2011/09/20/hostile_workplace_quote_verified_on_tape.html)


One of the most striking quotes in Ron Suskind's Confidence Men comes from former White House communications director Anita Dunn who was quoted as saying that, "this place would be in court for a hostile workplace... Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women."

Dunn insisted to the Washington Post she was quoted out of context and said that she told the author "point blank" that the White House was not a hostile work environment.

However, Suskind allowed a reporter to review a recorded excerpt of the original interview, which shows Dunn saying the same thing quoted in the book, though she excluded President Obama from the characterization.

So if that is the case, what is the political benefit of alienating the female voting population ? What agenda includes pissing oiff a large portion of your base?

Well, if the feminists and NOW can be reliably depended on to throw women under the bus and ignore the sexism; there's not much risk, is there?

Clinton enjoyed the same protection.

What would NOW being doing if this were said about a Republican administration?

Ah, I see the problem. I never said Obama threw them under the bus but, that NOW and the feminist have, just as they did in the Clinton administration, so they don't imperil their liberal agenda.
