Okay, NOW very early on endorsed Hillary Clinton and hung in there for her until after the primaries. Kim Gandy actually campaigned for Hillary and helped open up some Clinton offices. While NOW endorsed The One in the General they supported Clinton and endorsed her in the primaries. Can we at least get our facts straight?

Well, Febot, NOW did not endorse Obama until after the primary and the RBC. I disagree with the National NOW PAC’s decision and I actually think the feminist groups who supported The One and the feminist leaders who degraded Governor Palin helped Obama win. I’m not really happy about that for sure. Those of us who had the wit and the brains to see what would happen and voted for McCain/Palin, some of us despite our being Democrats, will now have to suffer for this support. Wasn’t Dubya enough?

So NOW thinks it would be “nice” if he’d appointed more women?

They don’t feel it’s required? Are they NOT a woman’s organization? (you know, national Organization of Women?)

Are they now the “National Organization of Coffee Makers?”

It’s sick.

Oh, sorry to bother you with issues concerning 50.7% of the population.

Thanks for letting us know those issues aren’t “real”!

How biased to expect representation in government! What were we thinking? We really must try to be more likable.

NOW doesn’t even have the guts to whine.

Gandy said it would have been “nice” if he’d notice women.

Gee, hon, that’s too bad. Maybe you weren’t likeable enough while you were kissing his ass.

Kim Gandy said “I agree with those who are concerned that it would have been nice to see more women.”

Gee, Kim, would it have been “nice”?

Maybe if you put on a pink hairbow, Barry will ask you to the prom.

NOW is marginalized now. They sold their souls to the biggest sexist pig I have seen run for president in my not so short life. Serves them right. For one issue that wasn’t going anywhere, they threw the baby out with the bath water.

On those three boards mentioned in the article he has 15 women and 34 men as advisors so far in total.

And now he is floating the Hillary-card to take the sting off his attention. Wonder when so many will wake up. It is just astounding how people are living in a dream-like trance state and vacuum.

Several people have told me how joyous they are. They are walking on air since the election.

I can’t help but lob a little reality bombs at them.

obama pulled Malley out from under the bus and sent him to Syria and Egypt. Ayers was bragging on freaking Good Morning America. Wright and Farrakhan are climbing out from under cover.

Women? Nope, we better just stay in line and stfu.

Beginning immediately, Rand Beers will take a leave of absence from NSN to serve on the incoming Obama administration’s national security transition team... From a recent National Security Network email.... Rand Beers wiki

I thought the same thing when I read that…they’ll TRY to find qualified women? I mean, sure it sounds nice until you look at the subconscious message of that sentence which implies that qualified men are easy to find and qualified women are not because there are so few of them. That is a load of crap.

Everyone needs to read Women For President: Media Bias in Eight Campaigns. It’s ridiculous how there are so many subconscious messages sent about how women belong in the private sphere simply in how the media covers women candidates. And these trends have not chanced since the 1800’s. It’s pathetic. It was published after Hillary announced her candidacy but most was written before her announcement and it was published before any major campaigning so it doesn’t include any coverage of Hillary’s campaign. But it’s bizarre to read about the media bias in the past and be thinking “wow, that is what they did to Hillary!” or “omg, they did that to Palin!”
