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 some of the debates that we've already had this year instead of putting forward serious plans to help put more American back to work. A lot of those folks in the other party have chosen to re-fight battles we settled long ago. This contraception fight in particular was illuminating, it was like being in a time machine. Republicans in Congress were going so far as to say an employer should be able to have a say in the health care decisions of it's female employees. Now we got governors and legislatures across the river in Virginia, up the road in Pennsylvania all across the country saying that women can't be trusted to make their own decisions. That pushing and passing bills forcing women to get ultrasounds even if they don't want one. If you don't like it the governor of Pennsylvania says, "You can close your eyes."? It's a quote. It's appalling. It's offensive, it's out of touch. And when it comes to what's going on out there your not going to close your eyes. Women across America aren't closing their eyes and as long as I'm president I won't either. The days of male politicians controlling the health care decisions of our wives and our mothers and our daughters and our sisters --that needs to come to an end. So the choice between going backward and moving forward has never been so clear. As long as I'm president we're going to keep moving forward, you can count on that. You don't have to take my word for it, you got my signature on it. Because something like standing up for equal pay for equal work isn't something I got to get back to you on, it's the first law that I signed. If you're willing to stick with me and fight with me and press on with me I promise you we will remind everybody just why it is America is the greatest nation on earth. Thank you. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. May 18, 2012 12:02 PM

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."

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 140,000 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 the post-911 GI BILL, the most comprehensive package of educational benefits for veterans in more than 60 years. It's why we've boosted the veteran affairs budget every year since I've been in office. To make sure that every veteran has access to physical and mental health care that they need. It's why we systematically reform the way we fund health care for veterans and are hiring thousands of claims processors to get the veterans their benefits faster." First Lady Michelle Obama: "Supporting veterans and military families means doing everything we can to serve you as well as you served our country. Barack has your backs and he's just getting started." President Obama: "So visit BarackObama.com/Veterans. Join Veterans and Military Families for Obama and thanks for your service."

"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 Americans -- in fact tax levels are nearly the lowest they've been since the 1950s. So, when Karl Rove says the president broke his promise on middle class tax cuts, he's not telling you the truth. But, If Mitt Romney wants to have this argument, we are happy to have it. Because when he ran for governor of Massachusetts, he promised to cut taxes too. But unlike the President, he actually did break that promise -- he hiked taxes and fees by $750 million per year on Massachusetts families and Massachusetts small businesses. Third, the ads talks about health care. And you'll like this one because we've heard it before. It says that you won't be able to keep the insurance plan that you have. Now that's just flat out wrong. If you like your plan if you want to keep it -- you can. In fact, the president made that plan stronger. You know what Mitt Romney says about Obamacare? ROMNEY: 'If I'm President, I will repeal Obamacare and I'll kill it dead on it's first day.' 'Kill it dead' Affordable coverage? Gone. Protections against insurance companies? Gone. Kids with preexisting conditions getting coverage? Not anymore. Not under Mitt Romney. Fourth up is an attack on the president's plan to cut the deficit. The President has already enacted $1 trillion in spending cuts to help reduce our deficit—and has a balanced plan to cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 10 years. Under Mitt Romney? The deficit would not just go up, it would go way up. Just like in Massachusetts, where he promised to reduce the debt, but actually increased it by 16 percent. As President, he'd add $5 trillion to the deficit because of a $250,000 tax cut for every millionaire and billionaire in this country that he's not paying for. So -- another special interest attack ad, another set of outright distortions, and another time when I need to ask you to do what you do best: get the president's back. Karl Rove is relying on you doing nothing to call out his BS -- and I know you'll prove him wrong. Tweet this video to your friends, Facebook it so people you know see it, post it on your Tumblr -- and let's make sure people get the truth. Thanks for helping us fight back. May 17, 2012 7:02 AM

And my sister Lisa who faced obstacles growing up with special needs taught me to be courageous and compassionate. This is how I try to live my life day-to-day, and this is what I see everything President Obama does. Whether he's fighting for affordable health care and access to education, or supporting small businesses in the Hispanic community. Over the last three years he's worked to reform our immigration system to give everyone a fair shot at the American dream. And he's fighting to make sure people who have brought here children have the opportunity to earn a path to citizenship and contribute to the country they know as home. That's what this election is about and each one of us is responsible for the outcome in November. Estamos Unidos! Visit Latinos.BarackObama.com to get involved. Apr 26, 2012 11:02 AM

That determination has made the Latino community a driving force behind our economic recovery. It's led Hispanic Americans to start small businesses at three times the national average, creating thousands of jobs in cities and towns across America. But our work isn¹t finished until everyone can afford the pillars of that dream: a good education for our kids and quality health care for our families. We're not done until we fix our broken immigration system to keep families together and make sure people who were brought here as children have a chance to earn their citizenship. The choice our country makes in November will have huge consequences for the Latino community. But remember: the outcome of this election is in your hands. Visit latinos.barackobama.com to get involved today -- because we are greater together, Estamos Unidos! En Español: Las historias de la comunidad latina son sobre el Sueño Americano: son de jóvenes que creen que sí se puede, y padres y abuelos que trabajan duro para que sus hijos tengan la oportunidad de triunfar. Gracias a esa determinación, la comunidad latina es la que impulsa, en gran parte, la recuperación económica. Esa misma determinación ha impulsado a miles de hispanos a abrir negocios a una tasa 3 veces mayor del promedio nacional—así creando miles de trabajos en ciudades y pueblos a lo largo del país. Pero nuestro trabajo no se acabará hasta que todos puedan alcanzar los pilares del Sueño Americano: una buena educación para nuestros hijos y cuidado de salud de calidad para nuestras familias. Nuestro trabajo no terminará hasta que arreglemos nuestro quebrado sistema migratorio para que nuestras familias se puedan quedar unidas y aquellos que fueron traídos al país como niños tengan la oportunidad de ganarse la ciudadanía. La decisión que el país tomará en noviembre tendrá grandes consecuencias para la comunidad latina. Pero acuérdate -- el resultado de esta elección depende de ti.
