Obama on Moms Who Stay Home to Raise Kids: 'That's Not a Choice We Want Americans to

Re: Obama doesn't want Moms staying home to raise their kids. Wants the state to do i

I don't buy it. In the case of most stay at home mothers and in the case of most jobs, the experience at one has barely anything to do with the experience at the other. A stay at home mother can be a lot of work, but it is (rarely) relatable to industry or job experience.

Multitasking, management, budget creation, etc are not relatable job experiences?
 
Re: Obama on Moms Who Stay Home to Raise Kids: 'That's Not a Choice We Want Americans

While I editorialized the title of this thread, here's what was said:

"Sometimes, someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result. And that’s not a choice we want Americans to make."

Now, what I would hope what he meant to say was something like "...that's not a choice we want Americans TO HAVE to make...", that's simply not what he actually said.

As usual Obama opens mouth inserts foot.

As usual Obama opens mouth inserts foot.

He actually didn't if you read the full speech. Link is earlier in thread.
