NARAL Endorses Sexist Obama [Update]

UPDATE: 6:15 p.m. TONIGHT: Members of Congress To Hold Press Conference On Hillary’s Strong Pro-Choice Record (DETAILS AT END OF STORY)
__________

Washington, DC, elites convinced yet another Democratic interest group, NARAL “Pro-Choice” America, to endorse Barack Obama. Will Obama repudiate the support of this “interest group?” I doubt it, but I am sure he would ask Hillary or John Edwards to refuse the endorsement if NARAL would have acted in their interests and endorsed one of the other Democrats before the Iowa Caucuses. But then again, NARAL also endorses Republicans. Perhaps NARAL really is the joke everyone tells me it is.

And on the same day a group that ostensibly supports the rights of women endorsed a male candidate for President, that candidate decided to refer to a woman who holds the professional title of Reporter as “sweetie.”

Not only did “sweetie” never receive an answer to her question as Obama vainly pandered to lunch bucket Democrats who will never vote for him; “sweetie” and a lot of women who desire rights were betrayed by the organizations who should defend them. Remember that Obama voted PRESENT on choice legislation in the Illinois state Senate.

Also remember that Obama accompanied his wife to her job interview, as HE had to approve her employer before HE would allow her to undertake the position. I quote:

“I can remember sitting in [a restaurant] booth, with Barack on the other side, interrogating me in the nicest possible way,” Jarrett said.

“I can’t think of many people you hire who say, `I’d like you to meet my fiancé,’ but I would have done just about anything to get Michelle.”

And how can anyone ever forget Obama’s attempt to woo female reporters on his campaign plane by gratuitously straddling the aisle and placing his crotch on full display for all the “sweeties” in the press core.

Thank you, NARAL and Democrats. Thank you for reminding us once again that sexism will always trump competence and experience. Thank you once again for reminding us that the Democratic Party is a party in which women are “sweeties” who should never occupy positions of power.
