MARTIN: Let me ask you though about the - thoughts about the marches going on around the country this weekend. You know, a lot of women say that Donald Trump's attitude about women is exactly why they just can't support him even now. And I wanted to ask you your thoughts about this.
FIORINA: You know, I think, first of all, this is America. People have the right to express their point of view in a peaceful way any time and anywhere they want. I am disappointed, I guess I would say, that some people find it impossible to separate the process and the institution and the transfer of power from a person that they disagree with.
Here's what I would say - first, I think we need to give every president a chance. I didn't vote for President Obama, but I rooted for his success because I think a president's success impacts us all. The second thing I would say more specifically is despite my strenuous objections to our new president's words and attitudes and behavior, in many cases towards women, I also see that in his own businesses he gave real positions of responsibility to very accomplished women.
And he has done so in his cabinet as well - Betsy DeVos, Elaine Chao. These are extremely accomplished women. And so I think his behavior would suggest that he recognizes talent when he sees it, and he's prepared to use that talent no matter what size or shape it comes in.

(42,770 posts)"You know," she tells the puppies patrolling her lap, "President Obama ate one of your cousins."
It's presumably a reference to the president's time living in Indonesia as a child, but somehow it's not the first time a Republican candidate has joked about eating dogs this cycle. In October, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made a charming comparison between Bernie Sanders' tax plan and a North Korean chef's plans for a labrador.

"One of the things I would immediately do
is bring back the warrior class -- Petraeus, McChrystal, Mattis, Keane, Flynn. ... Every one was retired early because they told President Obama things that he didnt want to hear."
Obama Acting Political on ISIS, Not Like a Leader
President Obama has been a lawless president in his use of executive orders, whether those executive orders are around immigration or whether those executive orders are around gun control,

(15,438 posts)Fuck you, Fiorina, you lying Liar. You never rooted for President Obama's success - unless it was to clean up the economic mess your elitist Party caused during Duhbya's years because it was affecting your wealth.

(18,124 posts)do these type of people believe what they are saying because they are so rich, connected and blind to every other person not of their group/race? Or is it this, they are trying to fool all the people some of the time, or is it some of the people all the time? Well both are true for the next 4 years as I see it....disgusting psychophants....
