Obama Reaches Out To Congressional Women

I saw the campaign memo about meeting with the Women's Caucus on Capitol Hill today, and decided to post it over to here:

Obama will also hold a private meeting with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and a separate private meeting with members of the Women's Caucus this morning in Washington, DC. The purpose of the meetings is to provide a briefing on the campaign moving forward and offer an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and provide input. We plan to hold regular meetings with the CBC and with the Women's Caucus in the months ahead.

And I've included a list of the Congressional Women's Caucus, and the Democratic Women's Caucus is who he'll be meeting with presumably in the months to come to get their input on various campaign issues. I haven't heard anything like this out of Senator John McCain yet.

Re: tip jar here (none / 0)

I haven't heard anything like this out of Senator John McCain yet.

That's because McCain hates women and women don't like McCain.

Oh, I'm enthusiastic (none / 0)

I wonder what Michelle Bachmann has to say on the subject of women's issues.  She's the one who said that God spoke through her husband and told her to run for Congress.

Re: Oh, I'm enthusiastic (none / 0)

Maybe it'll be like the State of the Union, and she'll FEEL the spirit through Barack Obama and feel the need to place her healing hands on him for all 45 minutes.

Somehow I doubt it though!


John McCain wants to stay in Iraq.

Man, that's creepy (none / 0)

Her hero worship of Bush is beyond frightening.
