American Crossroads: "Obama's War on Women"

Three days ago, the Obama campaign launched a new ad, saying that women are “troubled” with Mitt Romney.

But the real trouble women are having in 2012 is with the Obama Economy.

This morning, American Crossroads released a new video to that effect, entitled “Obama’s War on Women:”

From the video:[list type="arrow"] [li]

• 17 million women are now in poverty in the Obama Economy — 800,000 more than when Obama took office
• 7.5 million women are in extreme poverty
• 4 of 10 female-headed households are in poverty
• The poverty rate among Hispanic women is now near 25% — the fastest growing group
• 2.4 million older women are in poverty
• Men are gaining 4 times as many jobs as women in Obama’s Economy
• 780,000 more women are unemployed in Obama’s Economy

There is a war on women in America — and it’s being waged by President Obama’s job-killing economic policies.

If the president wants to talk about a war on women, let’s have that debate in terms of the economy, and see how many more women are unemployed or have gone into poverty on his watch.
