YOUNGSTOWN — Vicki Kennedy, the wife of the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, said today President Barack Obama has proven his commitment to women and deserves to be re-elected.
Kennedy, a Democrat, spoke outside the Mahoning County Board of Elections on Oak Hill Avenue in Youngstown as part of Obama’s “Women Decide 2012” initiative. She was joined by female Democratic elected officials from Mahoning County.
She said Obama, a fellow Democrat, signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. It gives women greater flexibility in court to receive the same pay as men.
Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, has said he would not repeal it. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, Romney’s vice-presidential running mate, voted against the act.
Also, Obamacare gives women access to preventive and prenatal care, Kennedy said, while Romney wants to repeal the health-care law.
“The choice could not be clearer,” she said.

Oh, Vicky Kennedy. Just like Joe Biden, another PRO ABORTION Democrat.
How wonderful for her to have married a man who had a true "commitment to women." (Yet, where was his "commitment to saving drowning women?")
Augie:
OUCH! Great comment about a creep of a human being. I won't even call him a man.
His commitment to women: They can equally share in lost jobs. And by the way... How much does a rubber cost?
Idiots
Teddy did have at least one binder full of women.. Miss Vicky had five stars on the tab...Mary Jo only had four, she couldnt swim..
The utter disrespect and contempt made on these message boards shows the sorry state of affairs of our "God Fearing" Conservatives.
The DNC must be worried about this election, they have been sending in all their top people, we never see them any other time and we get very little from them. This signals that maybe we should give the other guy a go at it.
Another looming debate joke:
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
If Obama is about equal pay for women, then why has his very own administration FAILED to pay women at the same pay rates as their male counterparts?

All wages for men or women should be based on job performance.
