Is Obama hen-pecked?

[Smartmouthwoman]

With Dems accusing the GOP of running a 'war on women' -- it only makes sense to look at Barack Obama's relationships with the fair sex. From his feminist mother to his head of household grandmother, to his outpoken wife and the strong women he surrounds himself with... one wonders if Barack could stand on his own two manly feet... without the help of a woman, if he had to.

Take a look at the strong women in Barack's circle. What do you think. The most hen-pecked president in history?

Guess we could say to Barack... YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT SPEECH.

[Shoot the Goose]

Well, he is a douchebag. That's a "hen" thing.

[birddog]

The rumors of him being homosexual or bi-sexual are likely true, and being around strong women is typical.

[Captain Obvious]

This is a classic case of douchebaggery at it's finest.

Of all the shit BO has on his resume to knock, yinz are manufacturing this simpleminded shit. Great example of the dumbing down of American political opinion.

They had a few guys that said Obama was bi-sexual, in fact they had a few but it didn't make the headlines.

Great feedback from the guy with Bush shooting the finger on his avatar and my junk is ugly on his sig line.

Intelligent discourse must truly be in the eye of the beholder.

ROFLMAO

Being dominated by his wife would be a distant second to being dominated by the left. He was raised to be a communist but not necessarily raised to be an obedient husband.

YES ... Mrs Obama said so ... :)

If you're looking for easy targets ... look to the Conservative Party.

Their Women don't need any rights.

I believe that's what Mitt's wife reported back to him.

Another 'strong woman' from the Obama camp. Never heard of this one... but her power was a combination of wealth & contacts. Right up Barack's alley. (well, except for the no-ego thing, but it's OK... he's got enough for both of them)

"One could make the argument that [Penny] Pritzker was the most important person in Barack Obama's presidential bid -- except, perhaps, for Obama himself," claims The Post. A Chicago businesswoman and an heiress of Hyatt Hotels, Pritzker met the Obamas when her kids played in a basketball clinic run by Michelle Obama's brother. Pritzker served as national finance chairman for the Obama campaign in 2008 and was mentioned as a candidate for Commerce Secretary. "She's a no-nonsense, no-drama, no-ego person,'' Barack Obama told Bloomberg. "She and I share certain core values about how to run organizations.''

You must be walking on eggshells, Cigar... this post makes no sense. Don't be afraid... tell us what you really think!

Nothing very original about suggesting Obama is henpecked. Here's an interesting piece from 2011 asking the same question.. involving a slightly different group of women, but incl Hillary. Enjoy! http://www.politicalforum.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

Fight of the Valkyries
March 22, 2011

They are called the Amazon Warriors, the Lady Hawks, the Valkyries, the Durgas.

There is something positively mythological about a group of strong women swooping down to shake the president out of his delicate sensibilities and show him the way to war. And there is something positively predictable about guys in the White House pushing back against that story line for fear it makes the president look henpecked.

It is not yet clear if the Valkyries will get the credit or the blame on Libya. But everyone is fascinated with the gender flip: the reluctant men — the generals, the secretary of defense, top male White House national security advisers — outmuscled by the fierce women around President Obama urging him to man up against the crazy Qaddafi.

How odd to see the diplomats as hawks and the military as doves.

“The girls took on the guys,” The Times’s White House reporter, Helene Cooper, said on “Meet the Press.”

Rush Limbaugh mocked the president and his club of “male liberals,” saying: “Of course the males were opposed. It’s the new castrati. ... They’re sissies!”

Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador and former Clinton administration adviser on Africa, was haunted by Rwanda. Samantha Power, a national security aide who wrote an award-winning book about genocide, was thinking of Bosnia. Gayle Smith, another senior national security aide, was an adviser to President Clinton on Africa after the Rwandan massacre. Hillary Clinton, a skeptic at first, paid attention to the other women (putting aside that tense moment during the ’08 primaries when Power called her “a monster”). She also may have had some pillow talk with Bill, whose regrets about Rwanda no doubt helped shape his recommendation for a no-fly zone over Libya.

How odd to see Rush and Samantha Power on the same side.

...

Whatever the reason, the spinners were so afraid that the president would seem to be a ditherer chased by Furies that they went so far as to argue that three of the women were not even in the room for The Decision. So the women were in their place? Where, the kitchen?
