Obama Focusing on Women Voters

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama announced his plans geared towards working women.

Targetting women voters, according to the Boston Globe, he is making promises that will make the lives of working women a bit easier.

If Obama gets elected, he said that there will be tax cuts for 71 million working women, guaranteed seven paid sick days for 22 million more women, as well as more affordable childcare for 7.5 million working mothers.

"I don't accept an America where a woman earns less than a man for the same work, or an America that makes women choose between their kids and their careers," Obama said.

"When I'm President, we'll take these critical issues head-on and help women and families thrive in a changing economy."

Obama is most likely trying to capture the votes that Hillary Clinton may have held during their long battle for the Democratic spot on the ballot for the election this November.
