Ask OBAMA about the kiss.What about the inappropriate way Senator Barack Obama engaged a woman in Scranton Pa yesterday: Obama asked a woman wearing a Hillary button if giving her "a KISS" would help change her mind to vote for him instead. He treated this woman as a sexual thing who could be manipulated by his charm. The last thing a working woman wants is to be addressed sexually – in any manner. It subtly – and sometimes not so subtly – keeps her in her patriarchal place. I believe Obama’s comment to this woman says a lot about the ways he would address (NOT!) issues related to women’s rights in America. I just am not convinced that he is the best candidate to voice issues that concern , e.g., equal pay, sexual harassment in the workplace, equal opportunity in the military, etc. (Found here.)
