Obama: I Called Sandra Fluke Because Of My Daughters
Says Limbaugh’s attacks made him think of Malia and Sasha.
U.S. President Barack Obama holds a news conference from the White House Press Briefing Room in Washington, March 6, 2012.
In his first press conference of the year, President Barack Obama addressed his decision to weigh in on Rush Limbaugh’s offensive comments about a Georgetown Law Student, who spoke up about access to contraception.
“The reason i called Ms. [Sandra] Fluke is because I thought about Malia and Sasha, and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” he said. “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way.”

Brian Macker a year agoSandra Fluke is a 30 year old white attorney who only enrolled in college so she could have standing to sue the insurance companies for birth control. This reminded Obama of his daughters? Do his daughters also what to sleep around and have others pay for the costs?

Elwin Ransom a year agoWhy didn’t Barry call Laura Ingraham or Sarah Palin? Flack flap is disproportionate but typical hypocrisy from Statists mantra of “do what I say, not what I do.”

If Rush had not practiced some form of birth control in his four marriages, would it have made him more compassionate if he had his own daughters? Because from what I have read, many people from all polictical backgrounds, thought about their daughters being so publicly insulted and stood up for Sandra Fluke because of that.

harrisonfritz a year agoO doesn’t care about “civil discourse.” This is the guy that says nothing when Union boss Jimmy Hoffa says “let’s take these sons of bitches out” in reference to the Tea Partiers? Give me a break, it’s hypocritical & he’s playing politics.
