Posted on: Obama goes gloves off, head-on

and did you read where Obama said that while Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage and Ida Husted Harper did good work moving along womens suffrage it was actually Woodrow Wilson and the men in the house and senate who deserve equal respect for passing the 19th amendment? No, you didn't hear about this, well, it is not surprising since Obama would not be anywhere stupid enough to say it.

Hillary could have made the exact same point if she had used my analogy above and few would have been offended, most people though would find the analogy ridiculous because the woman suffragists do deserve the bulk of the credit and that the passing of the 19th amendment was a long overdue redress. Woodrow Wilson and the men in Congress had simply succumbed to the rightness of the women's cause. The same is true with MLK and LBJ. How is it the Hillary supporters do not see this elemental truth? She made a mistake, admit it and move on and be forgiven.

seedofchange: one, the spelling is Hussein, not Hussain, you show your ignorance and discourtesy by not spelling it correctly. two, Hussein is Baracks middle name, if he chose to go by his middle name (as some do) fine, but since he doesn't you should show some respect by using his given name. three, your highlighting his middle name is nothing more than playing up to anti-Arab bigotry and you should be ashamed of that. So that is 3 strikes against you and as such you are not worthy of being paid attention to by anyone.
