It started with things like calling a reporter “Honey”. Playing “99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One Of Them” at a rally. Did you attend and bounce around to the moooooosic? There was the vibrating cell phone in his pants, and him telling the woman next to him he wasn’t being “fresh”. You’re likeable enough, Hillary. Hillary has “Periodic” moments of “depression”. She threw the “Kichen sink” at him. There were the Mental Children groping cardboard cutouts. You all saw, but it was just too much FUN to swoon over the sexy man!
“Women’s Rights are Human Rights”. Now, gee who said that again??? Hint: It wasn’t Barack Obama. His idea of Women’s Rights when he spoke in a part of the world that is most noted for maiming, hating on and killing women is women have the Right to wear the hijab. He made it very clear that Human Rights were NOT a priority. Yes He Can and Yes He Did.
You all threw Hillary under the Yes We Can bus and Now You Can’t. You all watched them give away her delegates, restructure how delegates were distributed. You all watched how she would clobber Obama in a state primary and the next day another big shot would endorse him. You said nothing. Nada. Zip. And lo and behold, she would clobber him in a state again and he would get more delegates than she did from that primary or bogus caucus that she won. Now HOW could that BE! Well, you didn’t care. It was all so much FUN! Even when they called women C*nts! Wasn’t that cool!!!!? Expect the same primary and caucus treatment when you are looking to advance yourself in Corporate America, because this kind of **** always rolls downhill.
The Stupak Amendment. You did it yourself, didn’t you? You let it happen. Now I surf the net and read about how you are doing what the rest of us horrible PUMAs did last year. Ripping up those DNC donation cards, writing “Sorry I’m giving my money to Planned Parenthood” notes and mailing them back at their expense. Angry, are ya? Well, this could have been avoided. A President is supposed to wield power. A President is supposed to influence Congress, especially when that Congress is of that President’s own party. Where are you seeing that? Stupak just crapped all over you and your President used, to coin one of his stump speeches, “Just Words”.
I have news for you. Obama will sign that bill with or without the C Street Secret Fundie amendment. If he does, he won’t take the blame either. He never does. Even if that amendment dies in the Senate, don’t you find it more than a little frightening that it even made it to the House, with a WOMAN in charge? You don’t find this in the least disconcerting???? Funny isn’t it, how all the boyz you followed are telling you to stop being “hysterical” and “emotional” now, isn’t it? They are telling you to “Calm down” and you will “Feel better about it later”. Sound familiar? It’s called being Marginalized.
So glad you posted this. I skimmed it earlier at DP, but didn't have time to stop and read closely. I love that Uppity. She tells it exactly like it is. She's spot on in calling out the so-called feminist and women's rights groups. They betrayed women, and jumped on the Obama express to never land. Now, they've helped erode women's rights even further.

Yep, the worst of divorces. And that song is soooo appropriate, especially when you consider the story behind it. "The Winner Takes It All" was written by one of the men in Abba and yes, it's about his divorce. And which of the two women in Abba got picked to sing it? His ex-wife.
As one of my best friends once put it, "That's so sadistic! What kind of a mtherfker would write a song like that and then make his ex-wife sing it???"
There's some twisted lesson in that for us. What it is exactly, I don't know. Perhaps it's that the leaders of the women's movement had all of us singing their songs for years and years, but now we're tired of it and we want to quit the band and go solo.
I loved this article and so true. How do they love those Democrats now? Women got thrown under the bridge and now they are angry. Where the hell was their anger in 2008 when Hillary was getting cheated and vilified.
Now it's movining to health. With the whitehouse backing this notion that women in their 40's don't need mamorgrams, and probably shouldnt bother to do self exams either.
