“Rep. Heather Wilson to Obama: NM Women Won’t ‘Get Over It’” Albuquerque, NM – Today, Barack Obama will speak at a closed-door event in Albuquerque to address issues related to working women, according to his campaign.  Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM) made the following statement, alluding to Obama’s recent comments that female voters who previously supported Senator Clinton should “get over it” and support his campaign.  “Barack Obama recently told women who have questions about his record and his campaign to ‘get over it.’  Working women in New Mexico are worried that Obama has yet to come up with a plan to lower gas prices – we won’t just ‘get over it.’  Obama has put New Mexico jobs at risk with his economic plan and tax increases on small businesses – we won’t just ‘get over it.’  Women’s votes should not be taken for granted, and this sort of language reminds us why.  I’m supporting John McCain because he’s campaigning for the vote of all Americans, including the former Clinton supporters and women to whom Obama is referring, and many of them, like me, see him as a leader who can keep our nation safe and get our economy back on track.”
