People who voted Democrat pushed Obama over the top.
If you insist on "blaming" someone, never forget that Bush had a majority male white vote.
I guess you were itching for either a venue to showcase your sexism or perhaps hoping for someone to make this argument to bolster your "don't vote" argument.
Either way, you've earned yet anotherfrom me, use it wisely.
Yeah, but without women, we never would have gotten the Federal Reserve Act passed.
Women got the right to vote in 1920, son. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.
Try again.

Oh Shit!!
That sarcasm went right over your head.
U too I see. Maybe TW is right.
I don't think it was sarcasm, I think you got your dates mixed up.
Considering America before women's suffrage
and America after 3 generations of it....
was it really a good idea?
See my post above.
Also consider the "Civil" War. The root(s) of our problems started before suffrage.
It makes you wonder: If the Founding Fathers and Framers had been actually able to abolish slavery as early as the framing of the Constitution and all the states went along with it, what would our government look like today? Would a Ron Paul Revolution or a Campaign for Liberty even be necessary this early in our history? After all, the Civil War would never have happened, Lincoln wouldn't have been able to destroy federalism, and that precedent of extreme executive power would not have been set for others like Wilson, Roosevelt, Bush, etc. to build upon. We certainly wouldn't have a perfect country even by the standards of Constitutionalists (let alone hardcore libertarians and anarchists), since the Constitution obviously has some built-in flaws (mainly the lack of sufficient checks to enforce it)...but up until Lincoln, most of the worst federal power-grabs were successfully reversed, like the Alien and Sedition Acts and the first and second central banks. In this sense, I believe the roots of our country's early demise were planted when the Framers failed to abolish slavery from the beginning.
If only we could travel back in time to warn them...:-/
