This is one of the most bizarre and backwards ads I've seen so far in this campaign. Its lunacy doesn't require much explanation, but I would like to point out how many other important issues there are concerning American women that the Obama campaign has little interest in addressing.

“If you’re a conservative woman, and you believe in small government, then Barack Obama is your candidate."

Really???

Here are a few other pressing issues, from an article by Meredith Jessup, women in America face, which have lost their importance to contraception and abortion:
  • 17 million women are living in poverty today — up 800,000 since President Obama took office.
  • 7.5 million women are living in “extreme” poverty.
  • Women working in President Obama’s White House are paid 18% less than his male employees. 
  • Women don’t want $4/gallon gasoline prices.
  • Unemployment among women has gone up 15 percent since President Obama was inaugurated Women are gaining jobs at 1/4 the pace of men.
  • Women want the nation’s economy to grow more than 1.5% annually.
  • Women don’t want to pass on trillions of dollars in debt and deficits to their children.
  • Women want to retire someday, hopefully before Social Security goes bankrupt.
  • Women want stability in the housing market, not continuing record numbers of foreclosures and declining home values.
