Women's Group Condemns NOW Endorsement of Obama
By Garance Franke-Ruta
A group of Hillary Clinton supporters condemned the National Organization for Women's endorsement of Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden earlier this week.
"The New Agenda is concerned that NOW's recent endorsement of Barack Obama leaves many women in this country out in the cold," the nonpartisan nonprofit group said in a release Friday. "The endorsement seems all the more puzzling given the fact that the Republican Party is running its first female candidate for Vice-President, Gov. Sarah Palin, and the Green Party is fielding its first all-woman presidential ticket with Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente."
The New Agenda points out that since its 1966 founding, NOW has previously endorsed at the presidential level only four times -- and each time there was a woman on the ticket: Shirley Chisolm in the 1972 Democratic primary; Democrats Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro for the 1984 general election; Carol Mosely Braun in the 2003 Democratic primary; and Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary.

Finally a woman's group that is looking to empower women to move aheas of the tired old 60's movement - we've come a long way since then- or have we- still earning less. Still getting less respect- much less- and still not through the glass ceiling- Let's Go Girls- this can still be the Year of the woman. Let's do it- Palin 08! Let's show them - they did not stop us this year and they have not seen the end of then Millenium Women's Movement! Not Now NOW!
It's all about money in this day and age. That's the only sensible explanation. The almighty Obodollar has for the past year waved the green paper liberally and paid to all who grabbed for it. George Soros is putting his billions into the pockets of those that can be bought. I feel shame and pain...Obo is a thug with no care or concern for women or for that matter, the black community. He is one of the most horrible people I've ever heard about. I put him right there with Hitler, Ghengis Khan, and Jack The Ripper. Down with "The Chosen One." May he take his place in the annals of LOSERS!
