"To anyone out there who has ever been assaulted: You are not alone. We have your back. I’ve got your back." —Obama: http://t.co/3QiS35ZOAY

With approval numbers in the basement and people not forgetting Obamacare or his scandals, Obama pivots for the 5,635th (or is it the 5,636) time.

From the White House blog:

In his weekly address, President Obama said that the Administration has taken another important step to protect women at college by establishing the White House Task Force on Protecting Students from Sexual Assault. An estimated 1 in 5 women is sexually assaulted at college, and the President said that we will keep taking actions like strengthening the criminal justice system, reaching out to survivors, and changing social norms so that all Americans can feel safe and protected as they pursue their own piece of the American dream.

Because what I would really want if I was in danger of sexual assault would be Obama mouthing ineffectual platitudes from Washington? We’re talking about people who encourage women to pee on their assailant as a defense.

Self-defense, teaching situational awareness and concealed carry. Three things that beat anything that Obama will say after using this as a political prop.
