RUSH: Have you heard, ladies and gentlemen, that President Obama has been asked (one might say demanded) to deliver the commencement speech at a women\u2019s college in New York? This is Barnard College. (I\u2019ve never heard it pronounced; I\u2019m deaf, so I have to guess at the pronunciation.) It\u2019s an all-women\u2019s college in New York. Obama will address the graduates at this year\u2019s commencement, May 14th. The White House called Barnard College in recent days and offered up Obama as the commencement speaker, and they promptly accepted, except they already had one. They already had one. Jill Abramson, the executive editor of the New York Times, was set to address the graduates before the White House called the college.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Republican sample of this 800-people-participation poll was 27%, 27% Republicans. Now, we know from Gallup that twice as many Americans identify themselves as conservatives as identify themselves as liberals. It\u2019s 40% to 20%. Conservatives, self-proclaimed conservatives, vastly outnumber the liberals in this country. Yet in a NBC\/Wall Street Journal poll, Republicans represent 27% of the sample and they are celebrating and ballyhooing that Obama\u2019s at 50%. It\u2019s a worthless poll because the sample is “adults.” The truth of the matter is that the president is still finding it difficult with women in his approval numbers.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s why they wanted to change the subject from whether or not he behaved unconstitutionally in mandating churches give away abortion pills (or birth control pills), to: “Republicans don\u2019t agree with contraception!” It\u2019s totally made up. There\u2019s not a Republican out there that wants to ban contraception. There\u2019s not a Republican in the world that, as a political issue, wants anything to do with it. It\u2019s totally manufactured, and it\u2019s succeeded in distracting everybody\u2019s attention from what Obama had done, and it\u2019s meant to portray the Republicans as Neanderthal troglodytes while the party of Bill Clinton (who\u2019s destroyed Monica Lewinsky\u2019s life among others) is held up as God\u2019s gift to women! Everything\u2019s 180 degrees out of phase.<\/p>\n
So here comes Obama calling this college in New York and kicking Jill Abramson off the podium. She\u2019s only the first woman executive editor of the New York Times in its 160-year history. So the party of women calls Barnard College — an all girls\u2019 school, all-women college — and says, “We want to speak! Get rid of whoever you had.” “Well, it\u2019s Jill Abramson, New York Times.” “Even better. Get rid of her.” It wasn\u2019t a Republican that called and demanded the right to address the graduates at Barnard and kick an achieved woman off the podium. It was Barack Obama. The president and his fellow Democrats have made women a focus of their campaigns of late, precisely because they wish to change the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
