Obama Calls for Passage of Workplace Fairness Act for Women

Why don't women get together and form a union? Then they can hold employers hostage and earn massive layoffs like other unions...

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! This fool gives idiots a bad name! All he does is get seen playing golf or vacationing, and why? He sure isn't leading this nation, Because he has no idea about leadership. It dang sure isn't running around golfing, playing b-ball, or having parties. It isn't blaming anybody for what's going on... It is stepping up and getting the job done. He goes on TV and preaches about all this garbage, but what has he done for the economy? What has he done for gas prices? What has he done for the price of groceries? What has he done for taxes on the middle class? NOT ONE DAMN THING!!!! Instead, he gets on tv and talks more garbage that has no or little importance, right now. America is going down in flames right now and this fool doesn't have the first idea of what true leadership is. How about the "fair tax" if all you dems are actually for making taxes "equal"? Huh? What about it? let's get that done! What about drill now, drill here? Huh?

I have no problem will bills of this nature. But our country is suffering from a weak economy and high unemployment and also add high oil prices. These are items that the white house and congress should be concentrating on without distraction. Once this country is moving in the right direction then you can look at these other bills. Would you start and continue to build a new barn while your main home was on fire? It seems Washington has always had a priority problem. I know all these bills are trying to get through congress since an election is coming and they want to play up to certain groups. If you did the job you were elected to do you would not even have to campaign for reelection you would win on your job approval rating .

Once again our great President Obama is increasing fairness and equality. GOD BLESS OBAMA.

Pleaseeeeeeee give us a break Mr . President , Polls have been showing your support from women has been in decline and then you try and pull one out of the hat by making this push for the fairness act bill . Somehow the timing is fishy and find it unbelievably transparent as to what you are trying to do .

What Obama and Congress need to do is call to fix old bills that screw Americans out what they pay for and give big business billions. Fisrt is ERISA a law which allows insurance companies to ripoff you lng term disability insurance as the law allows them to deny coverage after a period of time since the law has no rules or regulations so they have carte blanc to rip you off. Next is the Federal Bankruptcy laws that allow businesses that go into protective bankruptcy and come out ok, to discharge law suits against them that were not decided before or were held up while in bankruptcy to be dismissed without cause. To learn more go to youtube and see the video's by disabledvictim and learn how you or a loved one will be financially destroyed by this law.

Another group who supposedly needs government help. How many groups are left? Is this, also, supposed to help wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income for all?

With the democrats getting on board this ship wholeheartedly and most, if not all liberal, working class citizens joining them, the distribution of wealth in this country will eventually come to fruition. Takiing from wealthy, upper middle class and giving it to the poor or these so called needy groups of individuals who say they need equality, is just to easy not to understand.

Just think about it. Getting you to believe the poor are few, by using groups, as these working women, the transition to wealth distribution is made to sound the natural thing. In fact, the poor are few, the so called groups who cry their lives have been stifled by men, whites, blacks, etc., whatever group, you substitute them for, you've got a pretty large group. Throw in a gigantic health care bill which is not designed to bring you health care, but designed to unionize millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Liberals don't care that giving
free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What they do care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to big government. Why would any government pass a bill this size and magnitude in the middle of a recession? So, go get your share, climb on board and see, in 20 years where you are at.

Right now, men and women have equal opportunity to get into debt, continue to spend their hard-earned money on "stuff" with their "little plastic cards", and blame the other gender for their downfalls, equally. It's no wonder that everything is so messed up. All of our politicians believe the same way, equally. Maybe, someday, all will quit taking up space and get with the program and the problems at hand.

Affirmative action should be illegal no matter race, religion or gender. It's all descrimination, period. Facts are most jobs are labored and most men can lift more that most woman, therefore more likely to be hired and paid more.

This is just more of the same business squashing scheme, to keep entitlements up while at the same time punish the business community with more taxes and more laws that limit their freedom to conduct business as they see fit. It's being done on purpose and with no conscience at all. By keeping controversy and infighting alive and ongoing, they know a needy person is easier to fool. It really is brilliant. They have managed in a little over 2 years to demonize the business community, all in the name of protection for the middle working class, and to top it off he has actually gotten middle Americans thinking how great that is. The middle class is a dying breed, and will not rise again under these circumstances and you know it, but, in the name of hope and change you continue to plod along giving thanks. Think again, people, add up all the entitlements and legislation involving increased taxes and you may see another scenario and it doesn't have anything to do with you. Middle class America is going, going, and will be gone and will not rise again until this administration is stoppped. I hope Congress squashes this immediately.
