Since I'm up and it's raining hard. Will see your Palin-wailin' with some thunk'in.
1) Seems Obama was calling on support for a supporting issue. Rubbers. Them dems love rubbers.
2) Reaching out to students to encourage leadership. Good voter stuff.
3) Wants his girls speaking up for what they believe just like her.
One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on
So in great essence he's supporting the first amendment grassroots style as well.
4) Wasn't about the verbal morality stature. Just ended as such.
モI donメt want them attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens. And I wanted Sandra to know that her parents should be proud of her and that we want to send a message to all of our young people that being part of democracy involves argument, and disagreement, and debate and we want you be engaged, and thereメs a way to do it that doesnメt involve you being deemed and insulted, particularly when youメre a private citizen,ヤ he explained.
Seems Bristol left some context out.
5) Seems Bristol is the public citizen and Fluke was the private citizen. At least until Fluke writes a book.
6) I like Chris Matthews' JFK take. Associated cival rights could also be a reason. Good flag.
7) Obama doesn't watch Maher. Nor has Maher directly caused such a scandal with his words for the prez to take notice.
8) Bristol will probably get a text and affordable law school spam. ;)
9) Bristol be trollin'.
10) This Bill Burton isn't as polite as I was in separating the gunk.
But the notion that there is an equivalence between what a comedian has said over the course of his career and what the de facto leader of the Republican Party said to sexually degrade a woman who engaged in an important political debate of our time is crazy. There's no similarity between what Rush Limbaugh said, lying about the argument that Miss Fluke was making, that law student at Georgetown, and what a comedian has said in the past.
11) As Bristol cited, she was defended by Obama, why buy the same land twice? He already showed care and at the right time.
12) Wouldn't calling Bristol bring her back to the baby bash? Wouldn't Obama get right-slammed for political pandering to the likes of teen moms? Wouldn't it be best if they talked to each other at an oval office party instead of this public begging for acknowledgement? ;p
13) He shouldn't still be rattled about what happened nearly a term ago.
14) His not-calling is not hypocritical at all. Double standard if forgetting about Bristol would count.
15) He probably didn't want to see news Fluke OD'd on pills next week.
16) Mud slinging over one lousy supportive phone call. There is nothing wrong with who he called or didn't call. Bonk to Bristol, the madbaggers in her comments, and to me as for paying this 16 points of mind!
