THE HILL.....
Hillary women will save Obama

President Obama will be reelected president by a narrow Electoral College margin for three reasons.
First,
when autoworkers and auto companies faced a 1930s-style depression and
Mitt Romney proposed a vulture bankruptcy that would have destroyed Ohio
for a generation, Barack Obama was there for them, and next week I
believe Ohio voters will be there for him.
Second, words cannot fully express the power, clout and credibility of
the passionate and determined support for President Obama by a man whom
history will rank among the great presidents and a grateful nation now
applauds as the prosperity president, who has gone by the name of the
Comeback Kid, and called himself the man from a place called Hope, who
barnstorms the nation on behalf of Barack to battle for a future that
neither Bill nor Barack nor Hillary nor the men and women who support
them will ever surrender.
And third, in the spirit that the last
shall be first, the great X factor of this campaign, the secret
advantage of Democrats next Tuesday, which is not today highlighted on
RealClearPolitics, or discussed on Fox News, or bannered by Matt Drudge,
or even acknowledged by the Obama White House, is that a giant rescue
mission for the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party is being led
beneath the radar of the commentariat class of American politics by …
The Hillary women!
I
predict that the voter turnout among women who most admire Hillary
Rodham Clinton is being underestimated in the turnout models of all
major pollsters, and if I am right by even a small percent this will
shake the foundation of a razor-thin election.
The Hillary women!
By this I mean much more than Hillary Rodham Clinton herself, who has
overcome in her life the most hostile slanders and defamations from her
political opponents with dignity and grace and brilliance, who came
within a fraction of becoming the first female president and may well
shatter this iron ceiling four years and several days from today, who is
a worldwide inspiration for women everywhere and a global champion of
human rights for women and men and the poor and the hurting and the
dispossessed and the hungry and the ill in nations everywhere.
When
I use the phrase "the Hillary women" I mean more than the brilliant and
powerful women from her inner circle, of whom there are many, and more
than the many women she considers her friends, whether they are in the 1
percent or the 99 percent, of whom there are even more.
No. When
I use the phrase "the Hillary women" I mean the female CEOs and
construction workers, the female law professors and kindergarten
teachers, the female basketball players and Rhodes scholars, the female
waitresses and concert pianists, the housewives and female human-rights
activists, the women who plow the fields and sweep the floors and serve
in the Senate and compose the symphonies and are awarded Bronze Stars in
the military and gold medals in the Olympics and proudly wear the
badges of the Girl Scouts and the local police and, this is important,
the men in their lives who love and respect and admire them and support
their dreams coming true, as they return these sentiments to the men
(and women) in their lives!
When I write about "the Hillary
women" I mean women who believe they have a birthright as Americans to
equal opportunity to advance and achieve, and equal rights to be paid
based on their talents and ingenuity, and not their gender.
When I
write about "the Hillary women," I mean older women who feel they have
spent a lifetime earning the security and protection of Social Security
and Medicare and do not want these things taken away by partisans or
ideologues or extremists.
When I write about "the Hillary women,"
I mean younger women whose dream is not only that Hillary can become
president, but that THEY can become president, or CEOs, or
world-champion athletes, or homemakers, or whatever choices they
exercise their right to make.
When I write about "the Hillary
women" I mean women (and men) who dream of an America where no candidate
and no party ever argues that any woman can ever be raped in any way
that is called "legitimate,” and that no man who is ever a candidate for
any office from any party can ever claim that our Lord and Savior
wishes any woman to be pregnant after she was raped, and then try to
force that view upon her using as their weapon the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Yes indeed, I believe that these women will vote
in larger numbers than the polling models now suggest. They have the
power to decide by their turnout the future of the nation. If I am
half-right, enough of them will exercise that power by voting to reelect
President Obama because whatever his imperfections, on every matter
described in this column, he has been there for them and they will be
there for him, and others like him, until every barrier is broken and
every ceiling is shattered and America becomes everything that America
can be for all men and all women.
Brent, really, that is one of the most beautifully written things I have read anywhere in a long time.
Oh
my gosh, so well, said--my thoughts exactly--and I will also include
healthcare, which Romney was so ridiculous about in in the debate.
Right, I will wait until I have a heart attack and then go to the
hospital and call that healthcare--and then try to claim we have the
best health care in the world and why would I try to change that?
If I could write one-tenth of the way you write I would be so happy. I am putting this on my blog right now.
I
do think Obama will win because I think many repubs will secretly vote
for him because what person, repub or dem, wants their kid removed from
their plan, especially if they have a disease and no other care is
available....
Also President Obama spoke against Rush Limbaugh...
Hillary girl forever.....Chloelouise
