Hillary & other women in power have been speaking out about this issue and presenting these same ideas for decades!! Why is it suddenly an awesome and ephiphanic when BO says it?! Typical sexism! I like Barack, but this "Idea-stealing" of his, and the "blind-Bush-like" support from Obama's fans is a huge turn-off!
"Idea-stealing?" You want to talk about idea-stealing? Hillary didn't have any stance on the housing crisis and economy until Obama put out his policy. Her policy is EXACTLY the same as his.
Don't talk about stealing ideas and neglect to point out those which your own candidate has stolen.
the problem with your argument is that HILL-BILLY is a LIAR. She cannot be trusted.
There's a good reason for a MUTE button on the remote whenever she shows up with another canned and ghost-written speech, full of LIES and EMBELLISHMENTS about things that SHE did: Ireland peace accord, Bosnian sniper fire, against NAFTA (while she was for NAFTA)....
Why is it even the government's business who stays home to take care of a sick child? That's between the husband and wife ONLY. Government, stay out of it!
Thats a given, but it's also not really what he is saying. the problem goes deeper because in many cases women are refused the opportunity to do the same work as men due to family obligations. He is right, but it's not very easily fixed.
EXACTLY!!!!! dubya doesnt get asked questions and if he does they are vetted and answers are written out for him and he STILL sounds like an illiterate hobo. the leader of a nation MUST be intelligent.
The Clinton's have vowed to take this race all the way to the convention in Denver, in hopes the Supers will give them the election.
Imagine how divided the Party will be if Obama wins the pledged delegates, and has the nomination stolen from him? From US?
Call your State Senators in Washington and the Governor in your state. Leave as many messages as you can. (tell others to do the same) You can also call your State Congressmen.
We must urge the Supers to be mindful of the PEOPLE'S choice.
It seems almost unreal.. that a politician can be so down to earth, eloquent and inspiring, yet have a firm mastery of the issues and present creative and worthwhile solutions to a variety of problems, all while showing great leadership in his efforts to bridge divides and unite the people.
Truly inspiring. I tip my hat to you, Americans. You're about to elect a one-of-a-kind president!
Now that Obama has shown us his plan to continue our inheritance of the Greatest Country in the WORLD, we must return the favor. Voting is not enough, haveing a plan just as good as Obama to make him WIN is what we MUST do. My plan is simple, have as much Americans view this video and decide if they want "Senator Mccain to continue Bushs Term" and live a nightmare or have Obama win and "Live the American dream", PERIOD.
This is why as a wife, mother, grandmother and woman I am voting for Obama as our next President. My son-in-law is one Father who takes his responsibilities in raising his children very seriously. Because my daughters career demands make it difficult to adjust her schedule, my son-in-law has taken on the Mr. Mom role. Getting others to understand his role has been difficult, but he and my daughter feels the rewards out number the hassles they have faced. Their family is a very happy one.
I think it was by virtue of the excellent moral instilled probably by yourself into your sons prinicples that made him play that role, great person as you are, but both of you are not great people because of whos president, dont vote for more government, vote for less government
My parents are against Obama because they still think he is Muslim. I've tried to argue with them consistently to change their mind yet i can't seem to get through to them. I'm fine if they have a policy difference, but to put someone down based on untrue, misinformation to me is unacceptable. Every time I hear obama talk, I KNOW he knows whats going on. He is well informed, has a moral center that so many politicians lack, and is clearly the candidate for change. GO OBAMA!!
Obama goes into more details on policy than Clinton or McCain. But the only way some people can deal with Obama's speaking ability is by perpetuating the myth that it's all show. Obama beats Clinton on ability to rally the nation, on policy positions, on years in elected office, on votes, on delegates, and on states. The only people supporting Clinton are (1) those tied to her power base in the party, (2) those who simply want to elect a female, and (3) those who don't know enough about Obama.
How about actually allowing fathers in the lives of their children? Women earn the exact same and even better pay in many industries as men but men work a lot more hours on average than women. Part of that is because we encourage false accusations and divorce with the children as a prize for women. Let men actually be involved as fathers and they will help out a lot more. As it stands, usually they are not allowed to see the kids so the woman complains she has to leave work to care for them. BAH
Once again, this guy talks about a problem in its full complexity. He lets no one off the hook. He talks about solutions that can be fair from all perspectives.
Instead of divide and conquer, it's
We're in this together. Let's work out solutions that are fair to all.
This man can bring us together to solve the big problems we face.
Same work - same pay. Treat people as human beings and not like disposable drones. How embarrasing is it that in 2008 America these issues even need to be discussed? We used to be a leader, but today the US has fallen so far behind the truly advanced parts of the world. Time for real change!
OK, I am a custodial father but I guess I don't count since I am male. Maybe if we did something about problems like false accusations and stopped forgiving women who are abusive then we wouldn't be encouraging so many single moms that need this help.
See ladies.. Who would you rather have repersenting you, some one who truly respects women. Or a women who cant truly respect herself for staying with a dirtbag husband.
Same work, same pay? I like Barack Obama and he's way better than other candidates, but I'm hoping he doesn't keep talking like that. People have different qualifications even if they do the same work.
Requiring paid maternity leave is pretty good. In the long-run we need to invest in our children -- it will pay off heavily.
I think Obama should pledge to promote as many women as possible to top Federal jobs. And stock his cabinet with as close to 50% women as he can get.
Now that more women go to college than men, you will see many more women in politics in the decades ahead. He should set a goal to have double the amount of women in top level federal jobs by 2016.
I'm for that. I am also for CEO's not making more than twice what the average company employee makes too. If the average company workers gross income is 500 a week, then the maximum amount a CEO should get paid is double that or 1000 week. Sounds good but would be hard to push what 'sounds good' into the reality of business.
It is a simple principle, but get some jobs into Harrisburg and all the surrounding labor surplus counties first, b/4 we start talking about wage disparities. I hardly think working @ Neato Burrito in Harrisburg is a "career". Just put first things first, bring is some jobs that people are able to support themselves and their families with first, we all can't work for the government, of which most of the higher paying jobs in Harrisburg are, or the Hospital. Most jobs in Harrisurg @re low paid.
well i guess u have to expect questions like "do you believe men and women should earn equal salaries?" i mean do you expect to hear. "no. men work harder so should get paid more. next."
just keep Hilary out of office and end the war gracefully, please
Many people are for Clinton because they think she's going to fix this, and are un-familiar with Obama....
Teachers and Nurses .....Lots of women can be won-over. Nurses wages have been stagnant, and many are required to buy, what were once benefits, the number of patients is at an all time high. Healthcare costs go up, but less and less goes to those who provide it.
Check this out. Lots of votes in schools and hospitals.
Incredible message. Right on target for working women, no... ALL women in this country. Polish it up Mr.Obama and women will make sure you are the next president.
I am a woman executive that recently had to attend a "leadership meeting" at a country club that I learned during the meeting did not allow women as members, women were not allowed in the main dining area. Our daughters deserve better.
Seriously if McCain or Clinton wins over Obama then I am shocked at what America is. I don't mind clinton but McCain? If he wins then I'm going to be extra happy that I live in Canada
