We need a nice story in this hellscape of a week, and the good news is we have one! Your president Barry Bamz O'Sexxxy was campaigning for known woman Hillary Clinton Tuesday night in Ohio, and he decided to get really, really real about some of the struggles Hillary has endured on her way (hopefully) to the top, and why it's taken so long for us to even contemplate having a lady president. Obama? He GETS feminism.
He was addressing the gentlemen penis-havers in the audience, and the ones watching at home also too. Ready to watch the damn video, because we said so?
To the guys out there, I want to be honest. You know, there's a reason we haven't had a woman president before. And I think that sometimes, you know, we're kinda trying to get over the hump. And we have to ask ourselves, as men -- because I hope my daughters are going to be able to achieve anything they want to achieve. And I know that my wife is not just my equal, but my SUPERIOR!
YEAH SHE IS. But Barry O is pretty great too. Going on:
And ... I want every man out there who's voting to kind of look inside yourself and ask yourself, if you're having problems with this stuff, how much of it is, you know, that we're just not used to it?
It is a new thing! It's not a bad new thing, either! It's just a new thing, and hey, we might not have a first lady starting in 2017, but that's OK because we will have a MADAME ASS-BEATER!
Sorry we keep interrupting, because Bamz is getting really good:
When a guy's ambitious and out in the public arena and working hard, well that's OK, but when a woman suddenly does it, suddenly you're all like, "Well why's she doing that?" I'm just being honest.
That's right, your Man King of America just actually preached to folks the thing all women know to be true, about how ambitious, powerful men are seen as super cool and sexy and wonderful, whereas ambitious, powerful women are often seen as "WHAT A GIANT BITCH." It's not new knowledge, but it sure is nice to listen to an American president say it.
Bamz then goes in for the kill, in support of ambitious, powerful once and future queen of the whole universe, Hillz Rodham:
She is SO much better qualified than the other guy! She has conducted herself so much better in public life than the other guy, that this notion of "DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY! IT'S HARD TO CHOOSE!" -- it shouldn't be!
OK you caught us saying a tease, the president did not say "DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY!" But he thought it, we bet.
[wonkbar]<a href="http://wonkette.com/605184/president-obama-loves-the-ladies-in-the-feminist-type-way"></a>[/wonkbar]This isn't the first time Obama has addressed these issues, of course. Hell, remember back in August when he wrote a column for Glamour magazine (just like George W. Bush always did) about the true meaning of feminism, and how being surrounded by powerful women and now helping to raise two strong women has informed his understanding of gender bias and the unique struggles women face? It was so great, especially when he said, "it's important [his daughters'] dad is a feminist, because now that's what they expect of all men."
And now the president has helpfully 'splained to men (YES, ALL MEN) that if there's something that makes you uncomfortable about Hillz being president, maybe you need to remove the sexism from your face, and then you will be OK with it. Really, you will. In fact, it will be amazing.
NOW BOW DOWN!
