Obama Waging War On Stay At Home Mothers At the end of October, President Obama gave a very controversial speech at the Rhode Island College. During his presentation, he made the suggestion that moms should think twice before staying at home to raise the children. According to the President, stay at home moms is not what America wants. Instead, he believes that our nation would be better off if mothers went back into the workplace, rather than being home. Sometimes, someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result, Obama told his audience. And thats not a choice we want Americans to make. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas speech.
