Obamas revert to activist mode for Thanksgiving 2013

Barack and Michelle Obama Thanksgiving hypocrisy hit an all time high this year.

One day after gorging along with “undisclosed” guests on a traditionalThanksgiving dinner replete with “turkey, ham, stuffing and plenty on the side” (New York Times) and also “going heavy on the pies” (pecan, pumpkin, peach, sweet potato cream and huckleberry) Barack and Michelle Obama, reverted to the activists they really are, putting in a personal appearance at the Fast For Families group in a tent on the National Mall.

From December 1st-3rd, thousands of people will join the days of fasting for a day to be part of the Fast for Families in an effort to urge Congress to pass new immigration laws—”NOW!”

No one heard the strains of Booker T and the M.G.’s famed instrumental Green Onions when Barack Obama was handing out small bags of onions at the Capital Area Food Bank in northeast Washington on Thanksgiving Eve.  Ditto when Michelle was giving out carrots.

“Their daughters, Sasha, 12, and Malia, 15, were responsible for the apples and M &M’s (the latter in boxes bearing the presidential seal.” (NYT).

“Marian Robinson, Mrs. Obama’s mother, gave out recipes for a sweet potato curry.”

(Paper recipes don’t do much to fill hungry bellies).

And small bags of onions, carrots and M&M’s in boxes bearing the presidential seal were just part of the circus.

“On Thanksgiving Day, Obama, clad in a white T-shirt and a grey V-neck sweaterphoned 10 members of the military from the Oval Office to offer them thanks.” (New York Daily News, Nov. 28, 2013).

[VIDEO] NOW President Blames ‘War on Women’ on ‘Ultra-Wealthy,’ ‘Nut Bar, Right-Wing Ideologues’

(CNSNews.com) – Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, blamed the so-called “war on women” on “right-wing ideologues” while speaking at an event to mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

“This war on women is being waged by a very thin slice of ultra-wealthy, ultra-resourced, ultra nut bar, right-wing ideologues that the vast majority of people – men and women in this country – do not agree with,” O’Neill said at the Black Women’s Roundtable and Black Youth Vote event Thursday in Washington, D.C.

“We believe that a rape victim should have access to emergency contraception, but these guys don’t,” O’Neill said.

Abortion, she said, is “common and necessary.”

“Not to mention that one in three women will have an abortion by the age of 45,” O’Neill said. “It is a common and necessary aspect of our reproductive health care.”

Calling it “absolutely real,” O’Neill blamed GOP members of Congress for the “war.”

“And not one of these extremist legislators is just trying to stop abortion, ladies,” O’Neill said. “They’re trying to shut down the clinics that provide the entire range of health care services.”

She said the feminist movement has won part of the battle when it comes to women and now political victory is necessary.

“We know what we’re up against, and we’re going to win this, because we’ve already won the war of ideas, and now we have to go out and win some elections,” O’Neill said.

Republicans and Women's Rights: A Brief Reality Check

The GOP's longstanding "war on women" includes such horrors as giving them the vote.

When the Obama reelection staff began developing its general strategy for duping a majority of the electorate into once again supporting the President, they knew they needed to drive a lot of disenchanted female voters back into the Democrat herd. Thus, they concocted the fictional Republican "war on women." And, knowing that our government education system has long since given up teaching history, Obama's minions had little fear that the public would realize that the GOP's support of women's rights goes back to its founding in 1854. Nor were the President's men worried that Democrat front groups like the National Organization for Women, much less the "news" media, would remind female voters that their very ability to cast a ballot was won for them by the Republicans over the vehement objections of the Democrats.

Most educated Americans vaguely remember that the amendment granting women the right to vote was passed by Congress in 1919 and ratified by the states in 1920. But the number of people who know anything about the forty-year legislative war that preceded that victory is smaller than the audience of MSNBC. That war began in 1878, when a California Republican named A.A. Sargent introduced the 19th Amendment only to see it voted down by a Democrat-controlled Congress. It finally ended four decades later, when the Republicans won landslide victories in the House and the Senate, giving them the power to pass the amendment despite continued opposition from most elected Democrats -- including President Woodrow Wilson, to whom the suffragettes frequently referred as "Kaiser Wilson."
