bemused_leftist1. The Democrats supported some of their women candidates and attacked others.
2. Obama was president during a time when the GOP 'small government' policies fired many government employees, most of whom were women.
3. Obama passes fake bills that help women in small ways. The GOP passes real bills that really hurt women in big ways: defunding Planned Parenthood's cancer scans etc, forbidding abortion or making it harder to get, making contraceptives harder to get, etc.

Date: 2012-08-26 11:55 am (UTC)I'm bemused by how much the left has been captured by the narrative that the Republicans have written for Obama.
Leftist: Obama promised to close Guantanamo and it's still there. What a liar!
Actuality: Obama tried to close it and Congress forbade any funding to close it.
Leftist: Where are the jobs?
Actuality: When the Democrats had a majority, they passed the stimulus. When the Republicans came to control the House, they blocked any new job bills.
