Nothing like an unsupported blanket statement of certainty.
Maybe he was speaking from his own experiential set.

I know with certainty that, if His Lordship Obama said it, it is groundless, unsupported, and a lie of some sort.

Coming from a guy who may have been the most beta-male to occupy the White House since James Buchanan, not surprising...

I agree that's one of the most ignorantly generalized, unsubstantiated statements to come from an ex-president in a long time, but understandable coming from a guy who doesn't even wear the pants in his own household. On what does he base his opinion? Did living standards and "outcomes" (whatever the heck that means) and "just about everything" improve so much under Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, etc.?

What else would you expect from a man who wasn't raised by his biological father, is married to a middle linebacker and has only female children? He knows nothing about what it is to be a man, much less an effective leader. Look at how he was unable to unleash the economy following a recession in his 8 years as president - Trump has shown what an abject failure Obama truly was.
It really is a condescending remark, as if biology in & of itself determines who makes a good leader. There are woman who are good leaders and there are women who are crappy leaders, it depends entirely on the person and not their gender.
Do you realize California hasn't had a male Senator (federal) in over 25 years? I'd say that us men are being oppressed by the matriarchal society!!

Q: If Obama really believed this then why did he run against Hillary Clinton in 2008?
A: He doesn't believe it, and is just blowing smoke like he did for eight years in the WH.

Q: If Obama really believed this then why did he run against Hillary Clinton in 2008? Because inside those mom jeans, Barack is actually a woman? |

Nothing like an unsupported blanket statement of certainty. Maybe he was speaking from his own experiential set. Maybe He just mis-spoke He MEANT: " Women indisputably better looking than men." He's probably getting a bit stressed about what's going on with the current president ... ... maybe worried about what might be uncovered by all these " investigations" ... that weren't supposed to happen ! No, Donald Trump was supposed to be canned & dismissed by now. Hasn't worked out that way. |
