"Just Tell Them...

I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

Barack Obama: The Case in Which Sexist Deepak Chopra's "Intuition" Failed

Yes, it seems the new age holy man was *wrong.* Barack Obama did not turn out to be the second coming:

It's a sad state of affairs. I loved President Obama. I've met with him, I voted for him and I supported him, but I think he's ineffective at the moment," Chopra tells the racy monthly in excerpts of his feature interview released on Playboy's website.

"I mean, with all the support and the majority in Congress that he had, he couldn't get the health care bill passed comfortably! It's that way with all the things he said he would do. He can't get rolling, he can't get the support. I think Obama should be just a one-term president.
"


Is anyone surprised? Hello! This is what happens when the electorate hates political women enough to write an offensive tome about Sarah Palin as Barack's "evil shadow??" (Was Chopra serious in that? Or was he trying to create a Freudian caricature of himself??)

Dr. Chopra has lost all credibility as far as I am concerned. His new agey aura cannot hide the sad fact that he is a misogynist who has bought into some mythic nonsense about men as "light" and women as "darkness."

How many times have we heard that kind of B.S.?

And how many times has it gotten us incompetent leadership??
