Oh, really? The above not-so-vintage photo was taken during President Obama’s nomination acceptance speech at the Democrat National Convention in August 2008.

A short 2 years later a Politico article today reads like a Who’s Who of pro-abort feminist mostly Democrat ideologues who are in danger of losing their congressional seats. And a related Politico article reports who will be largely responsible for aborting their sorry political butts: Women. Sweet irony…

The White House may view the last 18 months as historic, racking up a legislative scorecard that includes a $787 billion stimulus package and an overhaul of the health care system.

A majority of women, however, see it as a failure, according to a new poll conducted by Kellyanne Conway for The Kitchen Cabinet, a conservative women’s group….

In the survey, 41% of the women identified themselves as Democrats, 37% as Republicans and 15% as independents….

“Women are looking at this election almost entirely through an economic lens,” Conway said. “They expect the president to be a mathematician, not a magician. The policies they have seen in the last year literally don’t add with them.”

A New York Times/CBS News poll released last month suggested that women may be less likely to turnout to vote this year, showing less interest in the election than men.

But the Conway survey paints the picture of a more motivated electorate. More than 2/3 of women who are registered to vote said they are 100% “likely to vote.”…
