I am waiting for a feminist radical or a homosexual radical to campaign for Obama.

[AGirl]

So we have had ex-gay gospel campaigning for Obama, we have a radical black preacher campaigning for Obama, I am waiting for a lesbian feminist radical to campaign for Obama, because we should reach out to everyone in Obama's world, right? Everyone should be part of the conversation and part of the movement to aim for the change we believe in. I am waiting.

1. They can join if they want.

But Hillary would attack him with that too.

[AGirl]

4. So Obama doesn't surround himself with those people? He doesn't reach out to us?

We have to come to him? I get it.

[anonymous171]

7. I fell for the trap.

My bad.

3. Where are the radicals for Hillary?

:shrug:

[CTyankee]

15. Well, we had Gloria Steinem trashing John McCain's prisoner of war

experience, which was so politically stupid I couldn't believe it! Hillary's people had to come out and publicly disown her remarks.

[KamaAina]

5. Fair enough. I'm waiting for either of the above to campaign for Hillary.

obviously, Geraldine Ferraro does not count as a "feminist radical".

[hfojvt]

14. well there's

Tammy Baldwin. I'm not sure how much campaigning she has done, but she did endorse Hillary.

[Emit]

6. Silly post

[Neshanic]

[anigbrowl]

:-)

[Eric J in MN]

11. Are you "a lesbian feminist radical"? NT

NT

[GoldieAZ49]

12. you are waiting?

with your hands on your hips and tapping your foot impatiently?

Huffing and puffing?

How funny!

BTW: Obama is rather busy doing damage control, so don't hold your breath

[QC]

16. He's tried several times, but Donnie keeps praying the gay out of them. n/t
