Marie Cocco, in her column syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group:

A campaign spokesman said Obama made the point about “feeling blue” to show that women do not make abortion decisions lightly. I do not question Obama’s support for abortion rights; he’s been clear that he supports keeping abortion legal. But I do wonder why a candidate praised for his rhetorical gifts talks about women in the way that he does. During the primary campaign, he said Hillary Clinton launched political attacks on him “periodically, when she’s feeling down.” He called a Detroit reporter “sweetie” when she was trying to ask him about job creation. Now he has incorporated a myth created by the right — that women who seek late-term abortions should not be allowed to do so if they are “feeling blue” — into his own lexicon. And this is enough to make me see red.

I’m sure, to quote Senator Obama, Hillary’s supporters will “get over it.”
