If you saw Obama and his town hall meeting in Istanbul, I bet you missed one key thing that he said, that definitely, had to be heard by someone other than just myself.

Obama, while answering questions about U.S. Relations with Muslims, he said "maybe we should put the mothers in charge", I bet that went over real well! If you don't "get it", I will explain.

This comment just shows how little President Obama actually knows about this subject, why? Do you remember seeing how the Taliban were treating women? Do you wonder why the Muslim women have to wear a burkha? Why the women were not allowed to go to school? Why these countries that have Sharia law are so opposed to the U.S.? It is because we believe in equal rights and freedom for everybody, not just men!

By saying that maybe the mothers should be in charge, he is saying that these male dominant societies should be, in their minds, reduced to following a woman. That sounds like an insult to me!

Like it or not, anyplace that requires a woman to cover herself up, completely, due to their religion, and thousands of years of history, is not likely to appreciate what he said, I just wonder if anyone else will catch it, so that they can spin it into being some sort of "innocent" accident, you do remember the reactions to the cartoons showing Mohammed?
