She was on Morning Joe today. She's the founder and former editor of The Daily Beast and Newsweek, and founder of Tina Brown Live. They were having a discussion about recent polls that showed the Democrats are struggling with women in the 2014 midterm races. And we've mentioned this, that this so-called War on Women is actually coming back to bite the Democrats in a lot of ways, but this sound bite -- well, just hear it on your own. I don't even want to characterize it before you hear it. She was talking to the cohostette, Mika Brzezinski, who said, "Tina, what do you think is behind these numbers, the Democrats losing women?"
BROWN: Particularly for women, I don't think he makes them feel safe. They're feeling unsafe. They feel unsafe economically. They're feeling unsafe with regard to ISIS. They're feeling unsafe about Ebola. What they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crises. And I think that they're beginning to feel a bit that Obama's like that guy in the corner office who's too cool for school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn't put anything in place to make sure it does change. Then it goes wrong, and he's blaming everybody.

Am I the only ATS member to notice the complete silence of resident "ObamaBots" recently in Madness Forum?
Obama’s rating was up two points among men (42 percent to 44 percent previously) while up five points among women (to 47 percent).

This goes hand in hand with all the people walking out on his speech this past weekend in Maryland.
(Reuters) - President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for governor in Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored his continuing unpopularity. www.reuters.com...
As a Woman...I must admit, I've never felt safe with Obama as President. He came across as a salesman in the beginning to me, not a person who loved this Country.

Well it seems many supporters are out of ammo.
Too many quagmires now.
Idealisms shattering like glass on cement.
A lot of personal attacks and tangents and deflections.
I think the Administration's failures outweigh any feeble successes.
The handwriting is on the wall.

Tina Brown doesn't speak for women. I feel perfectly safe. Where are the polls she's talking about?
Obama’s rating was up two points among men (42 percent to 44 percent previously) while up five points among women (to 47 percent).

Well, it is for the up-coming election and Obama's losing-streak on policy?
Yes.
Even MSNBC is reporting facts:

Sorry,the polls source were part the beginning of the broadcast.
But at the same time, we ought to also think about what Republicans are doing for women, which is very little,” Brown said. “They blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act, the fourth time since 2012. You know, they are really just not helping women at all. This gap in the economy is terrible. The fact that women are losing their jobs even more than men because of this whole kind of part-time issue and the economy’s terrible. So, you know, it’s not good.”

For MSNBC to start belittling the current government....
Not like them at all...
Feels like it's prep work.

I think it's also part of a "controlled opposition" tactic.
When a seemingly supportive group says something "against" who they support, the damage effects are controllable.

Pretty much everybody I know who voted for Obama acts like a dog with their tail between their legs when you I mention him. The realization that he's simply just another disappointment, a puppet and that they were duped into voting for him is too much for them to handle.
If they're not vehemently opposed to him now, they're completely disheartened and now realize politics never brings change in favor of the people.
