 "Rape is rape." The fact that President Obama needed to explain this to the Republican Party earlier this week says so much about how extreme the other side has become.
It's only Wednesday, and we already have a lot to report this week.
Take a look at the items below, and share them with your friends and family:
 #1 President Obama speaks on women's health decisions  President Obama on Monday spoke out about the outrageous comments of Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Missouri, who said that victims of "legitimate rape" don't get pregnant because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." The President said that Rep. Akin's comments show "why we shouldn't have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women."

 #4 The choice on education  Romney and Ryan's terrible education plans aren't just limited to student loans their proposals for K-12 education would roll back much of the progress we've made under President Obama to improve our nation's education system. We put together a blog post  that looks at the President's record on education compared to Romney's, and what their proposals could mean for students and educators.

 #5 Fixing Romney's Medicare whiteboard  Romney gave a speech last week where he used his factually inaccurate talking points about the President's record on Medicare and he even used a whiteboard to emphasize his distortions. No matter what Romney draws on a whiteboard, it won't change the facts: President Obama has already extended the life of Medicare by nearly a decade and is helping seniors save money. I recorded a video  to respond to Romney's attacks and fix some problems with his whiteboard illustration. Take a look, and share with others:  Share on Facebook   Share on Twitter   Share via Email
