President Obama‘s admission that the federal government has “bigger fish to fry” than recreational pot smokers made big headlines this morning; at the same time, gunmen entered a Connecticut elementary school and killed, at latest count, 18 children. We think this proves the point. More
Abortion has been a hotly-debated and controversial topic for months now in the race for the White House. President Obama is pro-choice, Mitt Romney is pro-life, and a lot of supporters on both sides have spoken candidly and even testily (ahem, Ann Romney) about it. Nevertheless, it comes as a major surprise that abortion is listed as the most important issue in the presidential election by a large share of women. Can we all just agree that it shouldn’t be? More
Last night’s presidential debate moderator, Candy Crowley, should be the new role model for women everywhere. Not only did she take charge of the debate (finally, someone with balls), but she played by her own rules and wasn’t afraid to put either candidate (Romney, in particular) in his place. Quite simply, she kicked ass. More
I’m against abortion. And I’m going to limit your rights to have one. No wait, I’m not. That’s basically the gist of what Mitt Romney said this week about women’s abortion rights. It’s confusing. And he’s confused. Because he seems to want to say whatever people want to hear. More
I’m confused about health care. And I was hoping to get some straight answers in last night’s presidential debate. But, even though Mitt Romney was the decided winner according to post-debate polls, he still didn’t give us a clear idea of how he was going to fix our very broken $2.8 trillion healthcare system. More
Last night President Obama appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman to discuss, among other things, comments made by Mitt Romney in a recently released video where the Republican candidate was caught saying that 47% of Americans are freeloaders who feel they are victims entitled to food and healthcare. Luckily, Obama clarified that half of our country is not looking for a free handout. And based on your comments yesterday, this is a pretty controversial subject. More
Last night, President Obama asked for four more years to solve the “challenges that have built up over decades.” And while we are all familiar with the challenges of the economy, the job market and the budget deficit, another major challenge–that has gotten twisted and confused in some respects–is women’s reproductive health. It was impressive to hear from so many women and men this week about this issue, so in case you missed it all, here is a round-up of the most notable promises made at the DNC about women’s repro health. Do you believe them? More
President Obama wants to be that guy with whom you can kick back, relax and enjoy a beer. At least that’s the hope as his campaign revealed the previously top-secret recipes for their honey ale and honey porter home-brewed beers. It’s also the hope that this will help him appeal to voters in a way that Romney can’t. More
Aw, Nerve made Feminist Barack Obama images, based on the press conference he held yesterday in response to Todd Akins‘ now-infamous comments about “legitimate rape” not causing pregnancy. This isn’t the first time that the feminist Ryan Gosling meme has been applied to politics; most recently, a flurry of ironic Paul Ryan images started floating around the web after Mitt Romney announced his conservative running-mate. But it is the first time we’ve seen said trend applied to our President–and in a happily non-ironic way! More

The Supreme Court upheld Obamacare in a five to four vote, ruling that the individual mandate (requiring that Americans buy insurance or pay a fine) is constitutional as a tax. The court’s opinions were divided (outlined in-depth here)—they also stipulated that states can’t be penalized for not participating in Medicaid expansion—and what its specific rulings on the Affordable Care Act will mean for Americans is still being parsed out. Here’s the Court’s own explanation, “In Plain English” (via SCOTUSblog) More
Planned Parenthood announced their official endorsement of President Obama in the 2012 election today, simultaneously launching a $1.4 million ad campaign to spread the message in swing states that Mitt Romney is “out of touch and wrong for women.” The television ads are airing in Palm Beach, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Des Moines, and feature video clips of Romney stating his own policies when it comes to women’s reproductive rights and funding for organizations like Planned Parenthood.

Say what you will about President Obama and the economy, his re-election tactics or even his views on same-sex marriage (which are awesome, by the way), we can all take some cues from the way he and his family eat dinner. More
In today’s ridiculous health news, one advocacy group has started a petition to stop President Obama from ever eating unhealthy food in public again. Like this is going to solve anything when it comes to our obesity crisis. More
Hooray! President Obama just came out in support of full marriage equality for gay and lesbian Americans, in an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts this afternoon. Though he stressed that he was expressing his personal position—politically, he still supports states’ rights to decide on their own—his open endorsement for same-sex marriage is huge, especially considering the impact it might have on his upcoming run for re-election.
