So Newt is not a sexist…ok… and this plan is not the “right thing to do”?…..

Gotta love this site…I guess I’m one of those guys who “just don’t get it”…cause I’m confused.

So you’re not happy that the intention is good, but agree that part of the intention is asking for womens advice? Is a lot like refusing a gift but know for a fact is the dress you always wanted. Just take it.

Just the first round of empty pandering by our huckster in chief.

Wait, didn’t the Jane Dough just switch over to focusing on women’s matters a little over a week ago?  And now they’re calling out the President for specifically calling on better treatment of women in the political forum?  Seems very hypocritical…

So let me get this straight:

Obama’s executive order for women’s empowerment = Pandering

Converting Mogulite to “the Jane Dough” (weak pun by the way, it smacks of pandering) to focus on women in business = OK

Seems awfully hypocritical to me…

IAlwaysDrinkBeer: What, exactly does this so-callled ”empowerment” consist of — empty rhetoric. Empty rhetoric = pandering. Put down the beer and start smelling the coffee.

OBAMA,
So glad that you’re handing me more power!   I live in Arizona.  Get our damn fence built,
blow away the sleeper-cells, the drug cartels and the illegals.  I’m planning to convict you of ACTS OF TREASON.  Read your Oath of Office, if you can read.  Get the Union protesters off of our streets. and get the illegals out of the sanctuary cities.  You will be first Chicago Street Punk to be convicted of TREASON.  I’m taking power…FAST AND FURIOUSLY.

It is not pandering nor is it empty. It is the beginning of what is obvious, that women make up 50% of the population, and inspite of the radical rt wingnuts who want to get into our panties, up the uterus, deserve equal rights at home and in the workplace and around the world. Hillary Clinton has been advancing women’s rights globally, with the President’s support. This order makes it official. The President is recognizing that women are PEOPLE TOO and unlike the EGG in our wounds, deserve all the rights and privileges of PERSONHOOD.

Not if it is any more of the brew by the TPARTY NATIONALISTS and GOP radicals that are out to steal women’s rts to health care decisions. Maybe you would rather eat the REPUG stew as Paul Krugman said: the repugs have been stirring this for 30 years and feeding it to the american people: FEED THE pony, pennies and it will poop out dimes which can be invested in the economy to create jobs. Guess what, the economy is starving, the american people are hungrey and the repugs are still  MUCK AND MUD with their coffee made with water from industrial waste.

Nothing but symbolism.  How about the knife in the back he gave Hillary?  She and Ferraro are both racists, remember?

I know Obama’s trying to be a leader on the issue of equality for women, but …  Maybe he should worry about economic equality for women instead.  “It’s the economy, stupid.”  Remember that?

Unless Bill Maher wants to call them a K unt.

health care decisions?

Wow!  Another earth shattering moment of world leadership! 

This Obama guy really has his “act” together! 

This is going to change life on the planet as we know it!

Is there any wonder why he won the Nobel Peace Prize?

This post is built on an assumption that the authors are interpreting “the right thing to do” in the right sense. While I normally support this site, I find this post to be a step back in itself. I, for one, read that quote as implying this act is “the right thing to do” for the world, not as a pandering “the right thing to do” for the very women we’ve disenfranchised. By singling out this one small piece of rhetoric and interpreting it so narrowly, you’ve written a post that, at a glance (which is the most that people on the Internet tend to give) seems to go against something you should, and indeed do, support.

If you’re worry is that its “forced and full of false promise” then write a post encouraging people to hold Obama and his administration accountable for acting on it. With this post, you turn people against him or even against the act itself! The tone of this piece comes off as “look at these sexist male politicians taking pity on women, let’s get mad at them” and it doesn’t ground that tone in anything solid. The tone this should take, in my opinion, is “look at these often-ignorant politicians trying to empower women, let’s try to make them less ignorant and make sure they actually do it.”
