Obama's Little Sis Says Barack A 'Feminist'

Barack Obama's little sister said the clearest windows into the Illinois senator's character are the women in his life.

Obama was raised by strong women and now surrounds himself with them, Maya Soetoro-Ng, 37, said in Carroll during a speech and in an interview with Iowa Independent.

Speaking to a crowd of about 20 people, most of them Democratic Party activists, Soetoro-Ng went so far as to refer to her Democratic presidential candidate brother as a feminist.

"I really believe that my brother is a feminist," she said. "So much of what he does is so he can help to make the world a better place for his daughters and nieces."

Soetoro-Ng joked that her daughter, Suhaila, 2, refers to Obama as "Uncle Rocky."

Obama's sister, a high school teacher in Honolulu, steered clear of major policy issues and talked about growing up with Obama, a decade her senior.

Soetoro-Ng said Obama's wife, Michelle, a Harvard-educated attorney, is a strong woman involved in key decisions.

"She offers ultimate proof that he is a feminist, that he is an advocate for women," Soetoro-Ng said. "He wants a real partner."

No, they're wingers... it doesn't have to make sense.
