Obamas Trivial comments?
– certainly not as trivial as Edwards hairstyle or Bill’s haircuts. Obama is the first man to run against a women for the highest office in the land. He has some pretty big responsibilities in that regard, as Hillary does running against a black man.
If Obama supporters are suggesting that the words “When Hillary is down in the polls” is the same thing as “When Hillary is feeling down.” they need to lighten up on the Kool-aide. He is clearly poking at the “emotional” nature of women. Furthermore putting her feelings in the context of “periodically”,- What? - is there some regular period when Hillary is down in the polls or some regular period when she is feeling down? While his references are somewhat appealing to the more conservative independent voters out there, it is a completely dumb-ass sexist thing to say.
“I am an Obama voter, but not a Kool-aide drinker.” - TinyBubbles
While I am thankful that I have not seen comments stating Hillarys “periodic feelings” negatively impact her leadership capabilities (I am sure there are right wing blogs who say this), and TinyBubbles shows you can support Obama without being blinded by the light, I am concerned about a candidate that does bring out the Kool-aide drinker in people.
