Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Hello everybody, It's fair to say that there's been a bit of talk of women and women's issues so far this year. And I've said before, I want to repeat, I think it's been oversimplified, women are not an interest group. Women shouldn't be treated that way. Women are half this country and half of its workforce. Your 80% of my household if you count my mother-in-law and I always count my mother-in-law. So I got a vested interest in making sure we do well. As a father, the highlight of everyday for me is asking my daughters about theirs. Their hopes and their futures it's what drives me every single day when I step into the White House. Every decision I make is all about ensuring that all of our daughters and all of our sons grow up in a country that gives them the equal chance to be anything they set their minds to. A country where more doors are open to them than were open to us. When women make less than men for the same work that hurts families who have to get by with less and businesses who have fewer customers who can spend money there. When the job doesn't offer family leave to care for a new baby or sick leave to care for an ailing parent --that burns all of us, it's not just a women's issue. When any of our citizens can't fulfill there potential because of factors that had nothing to do with their talent or character or work ethic --that diminishes us as a country. It says something about who we are as Americans. Let's look at ... |

Stand with the President in support of education: my.barackobama.com Dear Mr. President, I was getting ready to embark on a new journey, start my adult life, and go to college. Then at seventeen I was involved in a tragic car accident. I was told I would never walk again. I realized I had a decision to make. I could either succumb to my injury or I could succeed in spite of my injury. Since then I've graduated from college magna cum laude and I was accepted into law school. Although my father did not attend college himself, he was a hard worker, he always told me: "Go get a good education because if you lose everything no one can ever take your knowledge or degree away from you." The steps you have taken to make college more affordable will ensure that families like mine will be able to send their children to college as well. I will always support you because middle class families like mine need to have a leader like you standing up for the issues that matter most. Sincerely, Tanisha Elliott |

Learn more: www.barackobama.com The sacrifices that our troops have made have been incredible. It's because of what they've done that we've been able to go after Al Qaeda and kill Bin Laden. When they come home we have a sacred trust to make sure that we are doing everything we can to heal all of their wounds. Giving them the opportunities that they deserve to find a job and get the education that they need. It's not enough just to make a speech about how we value veterans. It's not enough just to remember them on Memorial Day. |

Facebook it: my.barackobama.com Tweet it: my.barackobama.com Tumblr it: my.barackobama.com President Obama responds to questions during a press conference at the 2012 Chicago NATO Summit. President Obama: "Well, first of all I think Cory Booker is an outstanding mayor. He's doing great work in Newark and obviously helping to turn that city around. And I think it's important to recognize that this issue is not a, quote, distraction. This is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign about how do we create an economy where everybody from top to bottom, folks on Wall Street and folks on Main Street, have a shot at success, and if they're working hard and they're acting responsibly, that they're able to live out the American dream. Now, I think my view of private equity is that it is -- it is set up to maximize profits and that's a healthy part of the free market. That's - that's part of the role of a lot of business people. That's not unique to private equity, and as I think my representatives have said repeatedly, and I will say today, I think there are folks who do good work in that area, and there are times where they identify the capacity for the economy to create new jobs or new industries. But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that's not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers. And the reason this is relevant to the campaign is because my opponent, Governor Romney, his main calling card ... |

Learn more: www.GottaVote.org Dorothy Cooper from Chattanooga, TN knows the importance of voting. She's been voting in elections for over seventy years, and she doesn't intend to miss the next one. But this year the Tennessee legislature passed a law requiring voters to show an ID that they've never had to before. And since 2011, over two dozen GOP controlled states have been playing politics with democracy, passing strict new voter ID laws. These laws could make it harder for over 20 million eligible US citizens to exercise their right to vote. Dorothy was able to obtain her new voter ID, but only after producing five types of identification. Get the facts on voting in your state at http |

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President ObamaThu, 17 May 2012 17:02:29 +0000
 |
Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President Obama because he believes in women and trusts women to make responsible decisions. She notes the strong contrast between the positions of President Obama and the Republican party leadership who seem to want to put government in between women and their doctors. As Cecile Richards shares: "I think the thing that disturbed me, and really frankly hundreds of thousands of women who have contacted us since MItt Romney said he was going to get rid of Planned Parenthood, is that he's putting politics ahead of women's health care access. Most of the women who come to planned parenthood come because they need preventive care access. They need access to affordable birth control, life saving cancer screenings, and the kind of care we provide. For women their health care doesn't come with a political label. The fact that we're actually having a fight in this country about whether women should have access to birth control is extraordinary. And so it's been wonderful to have President Obama as a champion for access to health care for all women in this country." Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com |

The President and First Lady Announce the 2012 Launch of Veterans and Military Families for ObamaThu, 17 May 2012 12:23:37 +0000

Join Veterans and Military Families for Obama: my.barackobama.com President Obama: "The most humbling part of my job is serving is serving as Commander in Chief of the world's finest military. And there's nothing I take more seriously than my responsibility to those who sacrifice their own safety to defend ours. That's why Michelle and I have made supporting veterans and military families a top priority from the start." First Lady Michelle Obama: "Our veterans have done so much for this country and your families set an example for all of us. I can't say this enough: I am in awe of you." President Obama: "Look how far we've come together in just three years. When I took office we had more than a 140000 Americans troops in Iraq. Today we're safer and stronger. We've refocused our efforts on defeating Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We've brought Osama bin Laden to justice. And last December the First Lady and I were proud to welcome our troops home from Iraq. And were looking forward to doing the same as our service members come back from Afghanistan." First Lady Michelle Obama: "You've fought so bravely for this country all around the world and when you hang up that uniform you shouldn't have to fight to get a job or receive the benefits you've earned here at home." President Obama: "That's why my administration is making veteran's employment a national priority: from creating tax credits for businesses that hire unemployed veterans and wounded warriors to improving ... |

"Hi, I'm Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Campaign Manager at Obama for America. Well, here we are again. Karl Rove's group, Crossroads, is spending $25 million from secret donors to tear down the president in a new ad out today. Time to tear this thing apart. First up -- the attack ad says the president has not helped people who face foreclosure. That is flat out wrong. Because of President Obama's policies and the efforts he set in motion, over 5.9 million homeowners were able to modify their mortgages, avoid foreclosure, and stay in their homes. And the president is fighting to get Congress to go further -- to let responsible homeowners who pay their mortgages on time to refinance and save on their monthly payments, even if they are underwater. The president is doing this because he believes homeownership is critical to helping middle class families build for their future. And don't forget: Mitt Romney's plan on this? Well I'll just let him speak for himself: ROMNEY: 'Don't try and stop the foreclosure process, let it run its course and hit the bottom.' I'd like to say that's unbelievable, but with Mitt Romney, it's really not. Second, the ad says the president broke a promise to cut taxes on middle class Americans. They're wrong again. President Obama has cut taxes for all working ... |

Are you in? my.barackobama.com Dear President Obama, I'm a mother of two young daughters: Daisy is six and Caroline is almost ten. My six-year-old would like to be a doctor for dolphins and my ten-year-old dreams of becoming a jet fighter pilot. Caroline is so committed to her dream that she sets her alarm at 5:00 every morning so she'll be prepared for her military service. I love that my daughters dream so big and see no limits to their future. Watching their dreams unfold everyday is one of the unique pleasures of being a mom. It is upsetting to me that in 2012 the use of birth control has become controversial. Birth control isn't just for family planning, it's preventative care and treatment, it's medication that most women need and use at some point in their lives. And it is as common in a woman's medicine cabinet as cough medicine. Beyond that it's a woman's right to make decisions about her own body and her own life. This is just one reason I'm so passionate about getting you re-elected this year. We need a President who will stand up for women's health and stay focused on jobs and economic recovery. The dreams of all our daughters are at stake. And they're counting on us to fight for them. Sincerely, Erin Bilbray-Kohn |

Help build this campaign: my.barackobama.com Hey everybody. I'm Jim Messina, the President's campaign manager. I wanted to give you a quick update on what we've been up to this month, and what that's going to mean between now and November. We had 169500 first-time donors in April-putting us within reach of 2 million donors this election cycle. And here's my favorite part: our average donation was $50.23, with 98 percent of those donations $250 or less. That makes our campaign different, and it's how we're going to build a winning organization across the country. One of the most important things we can do is get our arms around that fact that this election is going to be close given the historic challenges the nation faced when the President first came into office. Oil company executives and other special interests are dumping millions of dollars in Super Pac attack ads. In fact as this chart shows, we got almost $60 million in spending against the President and his policies so far in this campaign by the other side. The last two weeks have shown this clearly. The Koch-brothers funded Super Pac spent $6 million dollars on TV ads attacking the President. Mitt Romney's Super Pac put another $4 million on the air. That's $10 million in ads from two outside groups who can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. While Governor Romney has run an almost solely negative campaign tearing down the President, we started this campaign with a series of positive ads. These ads ... |
