TheHill.com - Heal now, candidate tells CBC: "Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) conciliatory tone turned sharp on Thursday when Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.) pressed him on how there needs to be healing in the Democratic Party.
“Look, Diane,” Obama said, according to a participant who attended the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) meeting. “John McCain, if he’s elected, is going to pick a Supreme Court that will roll back every gain women have made in the last 50 years.”
Seeming frustrated, Obama started talking more bluntly about why women should be supporting him over Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.), whatever their feelings about the divisive Democratic primary campaign..."
Obama goes on to present the phony Supreme Court argument as a great reason to support him. It's phony for two reasons: 1) the GOPers already have the votes (Kennedy will swing with them) overturn Roe v. Wade, but they're not going to toss one of their best base-rousing issues, and 2) the Dems will have the majority and can easily block an odious Supreme Court appointment. Oh, and he tells women to "get over it."
