I wouldn't harp on this if 1)it wasn't gaffe number infinity minus 2 for Obama, and 2) if people weren't questioning my take on Memorial Day....So, here it is:
OBAMA: On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in...in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Um.....you see the FALLEN heroes, Barry? Are you saying even the dead support you and come to your rallies? Isn't that taking the Chicago politics just a little far?
But wait, on Memorial Day he takes the opportunity to play the gender card...that isn't politicizing it for political gain, now is it?
Part of what we need is to recognize that oftentimes our women service members are more prone to posttraumatic stress disorder partly because they -- and there's a sad but real problem of sexual harassment, sexual abuse for women veterans and that makes them much more prone, then, to have posttraumatic stress disorder."
So, not only do liberal Senators think our soldiers are Pol Pots, etc. (Dick the Turban Durbin), but now all of them are crazed sexpots who sexually harass their female comrades? Quite appropriate for Memorial Day....NOT!!!
Where is the outrage over this mischaracterization? Where is the outrage from the feminists where Barry is basically saying women can't handle things the same way or as well as the men soldiers? I mean, isn't that the ultimate context of what he is saying? Hmm?
