I am amused with the power and skill of Barak Obama. So I thought I would parse some comments and see what is being said.
First his loving wife said this week:
"One of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values?" ... HE? You mean that being a woman makes you unqualified?
"Is he somebody that respects family?"...So, it is not a slip.
Is a good and decent person? So our view was that, if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. So, so we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first.."... so you were ignoring your girls for the last months and only decided to change it as a campaign stunt?
Barak said:
..."that his wife, Michelle, is smarter than he is, stronger than he is, and gives better speeches than he does."
So, she is a better candidate than he is, but he is running because he is the man?
So, the message here is that Barak thinks that women should stand behind their men and stay in their place, focusing on their children and let the men run the world. Hmmm. Sounds like one of those slope browed, knuckle dragging conservatives, doesn't he?
