It seems that #LadyParts are front and center in the president’s mind today. The Obama campaign thought better of an e-card posted to its official Tumblr page after women objected to, well, objectification. Conservative women tweeted that they’d be voting with their brains and not their girly bits, thank you very much. And now, as Obama’s interview with Glamour hits stands, it seems the president still sees dancing vaginas rather than women with brains who can handle their own contraceptive choices — and who know what the word “access” means.

.@markknoller Is it news to Obama that access to contraceptives is already a no-brainer? Anybody not already have "access"?

@markknoller Agree, you go down to 7-11 and buy a condom. Why should I have to pay for it? That is a no-brainer.

Dear @BarackObama, I am a woman who has NEVER had a problem "accessing" contraception. It's a #nobrainer, actually. cc: @markknoller

@markknoller So is it the president's position that "access" to something is denied if your neighbor doesn't foot the bill for it? #tcot

@markknoller Would some please show where access to contraception is an issue? The left loves their straw man falsehoods!

People are also taking issue with the president’s claim that nations can be judged by their treatment of girls and women.
MT @markknoller Pres tells Glamour he believes mother's observation: a country can best be judged by "how it treats its girls & its women.”

Why then is BO so keen on Muslim countries? RT @markknoller: Pres tells Glamour he still believes (cont) http://t.co/hHwV50Aa

@markknoller Holy Crap! Then why are still doing business with any country in the Middle East.

@markknoller Do you think he would say this to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, instead of to a reporterette from a fashion magazine?

What a ridiculous question. When would the president find time to sit down and speak with a foreign leader? We don’t imagine the interviewers at Glamour asked about America’s treatment of its very youngest girls, though.
@markknoller @MelissaTweets Too bad he does not care about unborn girls that only have 1 month left in womb before birth.

@markknoller Yeah @barackobama what about its unborn girls… oh yeah, they don't count.

@markknoller How does #PresidentLadyParts feel about sex selective abortion?

Don’t look for President Eye Candy on the cover, though. That honor went to Taylor Swift.
Pres Obama's picture not on Glamour's cover. Taylor Swift is, with story: "Stuff She Only Tells Her Girlfriends." Hard for a pres to beat.
