Awesome?...Yeah...especially the part where Vitter tells her President Obama was AGAINST the amendment....but the Republican Party should be banned ???
You're a moron...
How dare she AMBUSH a sitting congresscritter...shouldn't she have made an appointment..
A) She's not a member of the press and doesn't get to make appointments with the guy's press secretary. B) He was at a public event, making himself available to the PUBLIC. C) You are retarded.

no wonder the dem party is rapidly sinking....you guys seemed to be doing so well, yet with nutcases like ib1 still claiming that republicans are for rape you really have no excuse...
and obama's admin was against the amendment, that is factual, before making yourself look like a bigger fool, why don't you find out why ib1
It's not factual. The defense department expressed reservations, but the white house (read: the administration, Obama, et al) were in favor of it.
since you seem to like huffpo
Franken's amendment passed the Senate on October 21, 2009 by a voting margin of 68 to 30. The 30 Republicans who opposed the provision were widely pilloried in the press. But they were actually joined in some of their concerns by the Obama administration's Department of Defense, which worried that "enforcement would be problematic, especially in cases where privity of contract does not exist between parties within the supply chain that supports a contract."

Again, retard, like I said, the defense department expressed reservations. The white house supported it.
"A White House spokesman said that the DoD opposition is overstated in the message sent to Congress. "We support the intent of the amendment, and we're working with the conferees to make sure that it is enforceable," said spokesman Tommy Vietor when asked about the DoD statement."

No matter what you pull up, you won't find anything saying Obama "opposed the amendment" which is what Vitter said. Vitter was CLEARLY lying to weasel out of a difficult spot. Please, at least admit that much to yourself.
regardless....there was in fact opposition, the WH "claimed" it was merely overstated, so it is factual that the obama admin was opposed to the amendment as it was....
why don't you admit that to yourself....
and while you are at it, you need to watch the video you posted, the rape victim is talking about criminal justice and comparing with that with a no vote by the republicans....are you actually in agreement with this lady that the no votes were a vote against criminal prosecution against the perps?
The opposition wasn't OBAMA's, was it? It was the defense department, which wanted to make sure it was workable since it's the defense department that is going to be constrained by the legislation.
Retard. The guy lied. Vitter lied. Obama did not oppose the amendment. PERIOD. That was a lie.
The woman was asking about (and she said this specifically after he explained that it doesn't prevent criminal prosecutions) how he could support contracting with corporations that refused to let people go to court to get civil damages awarded for RAPE. The guy had no answer. He ran away, and lied about Obama.
