Obama to Sandra Fluke: Your Parents Should Be Really Proud

After Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a “slut” and “prostitute” for testifying to Congress about the need for contraceptive health care coverage, the Georgetown law student became something of a lightening rod. Now President Obama has called to thank her. The President called Fluke on the phone just before her appearance on Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC Friday, she told Mitchell, and offered words of support and an implicit rebuke of Limbaugh. This comes after Speaker John Boehner criticized the conservative radio host and at least one advertiser abandoned his show.
Fluke told Mitchell, “[Obama] encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women, and what was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents they should be really proud.”

Just playing music for the President of the United States with the NCSU Marching Band. Nbd.

How was it! I wish I could have gotten a ticket!!

It was wonderful! He thanked the band specifically for being there, which was pretty awesome honestly. We like feeling special :) In total he only spoke for 20 minutes, but he really is such an amazing speaker. That’s a bummer that you couldn’t get tickets :(

I saw the speech on WolfTV and he was hilarious, especially with that guy who said, “I love you Barack!” !! You are so lucky :)

I wish I was in band :P
