Obama Blames American Sexism for Hillary Clinton’s Low Poll Numbers (Rush Limbaugh, regular)

[dashrendar4454]

President Barack Obama suggested at a New York fundraiser that American society is sexist, which is why Hillary Clinton is struggling to beat Donald Trump in the polls.

“There’s a reason why we haven’t had a woman president–that we as a society still grapple with what it means to see powerful women,” Obama said during a speech on Saturday evening. “And it still troubles us in a lot of ways, unfairly, and that expresses itself in all sorts of ways.”

Obama pointed out that the presidential election will be close, but that it should not be, and he took time to defend Clinton’s qualifications to serve as president.

“She’s been in the room where it happens, repeatedly,” Obama said. “And her judgment has been unerring, and she has been disciplined, and she has been extraordinarily effective in every job that she’s had.”

Obama also resumed his attack on conservative media, blaming them for polarizing American political society.

He said:

If all you’re doing is watching Fox News, and listening to Rush Limbaugh, and reading some of the blogs that are churning out a lot of misinformation on a regular basis, then it’s very hard for you to think that you’re going to vote for somebody who you’ve been told is taking the country in the wrong direction.

do you agree or disagree with Obama?



also a New York fundraiser? Who is Obama trying to win over here? Those people are already overwhelmingly for Hillary.

Hard to disagree with that last quote.

On the contrary. I think Americans would have welcomed the opportunity to vote for a capable, trustworthy woman candidate, from either party. Instead we got HRC.

I also don't remember Obama making that convenient argument when he beat Hillary.

I remember when Trump made that argument, though.

I don't see where he said she would be good for America.

It's always someone else's fault with these people.

Hillary's judgment has been unerring in being wrong on every big decision that has come her way.

What "-ist" is next for Americans?

[chadgates]

Of course!

Don't support Obama = racist.

Don't support Hillary = sexist.

It is all they have left at this point.

If we Americans are sexist then we must also be racists and yet Obama was elected twice.
