Is it offensive that Obama should take the women vote for granted?

Question

The arrogance of Obama to snuff hillary....

taking the women vote for granted. How offensive to women! Just take their votes for granted Mr Messiah!

Obama has proven that he is a novice incapable of making decisions...his first novice mistake....stiffing Hillary.....

Too many women out there are too smart and have too much dignity to simply be taken for granted.

When McCrain is elected Dems will look back on this and deeply regret bypassing Hillary.

The female vote no longer belongs to Obama....the YOUNG female vote does (all the youtube girls, and the yahoo girls...kids basically...yea they will stay with Obama), but the older women vote....many will go to McCain now.

Is it offensive that Obama took women votes for granted by stuffing hillary?

Answer 1

Hilary was a liability on the ticket.  He knew that white males would vote for McCain before they'd vote for her, and that WOULD have cost him the election.  

Answer 2

Obama is not the one who voted against women receiving equal pay.

Answer 3

I doubt you're winning over anyone with your questions.  And a question as a response, should Romney be offended that he was not selected?

Both candidates made a tough choice and went for the VP pick they thought was best.  Biden may have too much bite.  I only just heard of Palin today.

Answer 4

I am with Puma, we got a lot more than 5 %, we got a lot, and John is the Lucky one!

Answer 5

Is America a chessboard where John McCain must risk it all to win at any cost?

Sarah Palin sounds like a good person. I only ask at what point did she had aspirations to be READY as president of the USA. At least Obama put USA first as someone who can step in at a moments notice. McCain attack Obama for his inexperiences and bad judgments. McCain has put America at risk and I will not stand for it, if McCain should wins and god forsake something happens to him, I sure hope that the risk that YOU have made was a wise decision out of your faulty ones. I sure hope that RUSSIA does not attack anyone else...Lastly I do not want my children to be at risk because we have to put faith in your DECISION. I heard that she was at the Bottom of the list and for some reason jumped to the top really quickly. You must know something about her or know her very well...  

Answer 6

Obama didnt pick hillary b/c at that time hillary wouldnt be happy with the number two spot and Bill was going around saying that he wouldnt be a good leader and he is inexperienced... Even if he did chose hillary as the vp mccain would of just chose a man instead of a female... this isnt about palin or hillary.. its about him trying to scramble together female voters...

Answer 7

First to address the idea of Obama and Hillary Clinton. It is quite evident that Clinton would have accepted nothing less than being Obama's Co-president and everything she spoke of was self-directed. When she suspended her campaign, she told her supporters that "at least they can be proud that they had given her more votes than ANY other candidate in history." So she was saying that she was now going to support Obama while giving the impression that the primary race was stolen.

As for the qualifications of Sara Palin, she is the only one of the four candidates (with Obama, Biden, McCain and Palin) that has actual Executive experience having been the Governor of Alaska; the other three are Senators.    

Answer 8

You've got it wrong.  Obama has made a concerted effort to court the women's vote.  Women voters aren't monolithic, by the way.  You're wrong about which women support Obama as well... he is weakest with women between 34 - 45...not older women.

McCain is mistaken if he thinks Palin will attract Sen. Clinton's supporters.

Answer 9

True that, true that and true that.  

The mESIAH has fallen...SWEET.

Answer 10

he doesn't

Answer 11

So you think that women voters are going to select McCain and Palin even though they are anti-choice and against equal pay?  Say what?

Answer 12

Obama hasn't taken women for granted. He supports equal pay for equal work, reproductive rights, and a host of other issues specific to women.

And he's treated Hillary with respect.

Of course, if I could be swayed by a token female with no experience I'd vote Republican.

Answer 13

McCain and the "liberal" media are making much more of this than need be.  Hillary and Obama are essentially the same candidate.  It is more offensive to women to assume they will vote for McCain because he selected a female VP candidate and ignore than she is against women's right to choose, and equal pay.
