OBAMA To ALL Women: Vote for them at your own peril.

“Four weeks out from an election, you can't hide from positions that ultimately are out of sync with how the majority of Americans think. I guarantee if you talk to not just Democratic women, but a whole bunch of Republican and Independent women, they will tell you they're very capable of making their own health care decisions. If you have a chance to meet these Dream Act kids, some of whom were brought here when they were two or three or five, and are American in every sense, except for their papers – love this country, have pledged allegiance to this flag, want to contribute – then you would reject the idea that somehow they should be deported to some country where they've never been.

But those are Governor Romney's positions, and we gotta make sure that the American people understand those positions.”

b/c "all the matters is the economy" and blah blah (as if being forced to bear children does not have economic consequences DUH!)

I truly hope that the outcome of this election is that they CANNOT GO THAT ROUTE EVER AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING SLAMMED BY THE WOMEN VOTERS.
