"It’s all so tired, the kind of fake praise showered upon those one views as easy to impress"

Campbell Brown, former news anchor for CNN and NBC, is talking about Barack Hussein Obama:

WHEN I listen to President Obama speak to and about women, he sometimes sounds too paternalistic for my taste. In numerous appearances over the years — most recently at the Banard graduation — he has made reference to how women are smarter than men. It’s all so tired, the kind of fake praise showered upon those one views as easy to impress. As I listen, I am always bracing for the old go-to cliché: “Behind every great man is a great woman.”

Some women are smarter than men and some aren’t. But to suggest to women that they deserve dominance instead of equality is at best a cheap applause line.

My bigger concern is that in courting women, Mr. Obama’s campaign so far has seemed maddeningly off point. His message to the Barnard graduates was that they should fight for a “seat at the table” — the head seat, he made sure to add. He conceded that it’s a tough economy, but he told the grads, “I am convinced you are tougher” and “things will get better — they always do.”

Hardly reassuring words when you look at the reality. 

...

I have always admired President Obama and I agree with him on some issues, like abortion rights. But the promise of his campaign four years ago has given way to something else — a failure to connect with tens of millions of Americans, many of them women, who feel economic opportunity is gone and are losing hope. In an effort to win them back, Mr. Obama is trying too hard. He’s employing a tone that can come across as grating and even condescending. He really ought to drop it. Most women don’t want to be patted on the head or treated as wards of the state. 

Yet many women will settle for exactly that.

Here's hoping Campbell Brown's awakening is the beginning of a trend.

Ah, but that's the ride you signed up for, Ladies, when you agree with or accept the fruits of Feminism.

YOU ARE WARDS OF THE STATE. You accepted Cultural Marxism when you accepted any of that. If it's not even remotely fair and equal, you've bought into the lie.

This is not new to Obama. Look at Clinton. Women swooned over him. It was ok that Monica gave him a b*ow job because that's what those women wanted as well. To have a piece of the man. It is not unlike rockstar groupies or those women willing to debase themselves by having sex with a professional athlete just because of who the man is.

Women on the Left are not strong and liberated, they are weak and enslaved. It is the women on the Conservative side who are strong enough to take the Leftist hate, strong enough to realize that being a stay-at-home mom is an important job, strong enough to have chosen a career and be successful without anyone's free ride. I could never be with a Leftist woman. I despise weakness.
