Well with most households at 46% supported by women as bread winners, Obama provides, rightly or wrongly, a fiscal safety net they can fall back on. The Republicans are afraid of this population trend. That being said, most single mothers I have come across of in my career did not depend on government handouts or child support. But I work in a hi-tech industry that may not reflect the true American landscape. I don't make assumptions based on party lines or rhetoric.

A vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act failed in the Senate today in a party line vote of 52-47, falling short to the 60 votes needed to move forward.
