So…Last week, after Sandra Fluke was referred to as a slut by Rush Limbagh, Obama picked up the phone and called her.
Fluke, as you will remember, is the 30-year old who feels Georgetown Law coeds are entitled to have the American taxpayers pay for their contraception which she claims costs $3,000 over a 3-year time span. She claimed financial hardship.
Obama picked up the phone and, according to Fluke, “He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women. And what was really personal for me was he said to tell my parents they should be proud. And that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh had questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me. I appreciated that very much.”
According to Obama’s mouthpiece, Jay Carney, “He wanted to offer his support to her. He wanted to express his disappointment that she has been the subject of inappropriate personal attacks and thank her for exercising her rights as a citizen to speak out on an issue of public policy.”
