Joe Schmoe said...: I remember the good old days when the press pressed GWB on the supposed lack of ideological diversity in his administration.

Who is the most conservative member of the Obama admin? Enquiring minds want to know.; 1/9/13, 3:04 PM
Tibore said...: Ok, Bill Clinton jokes aside, this bugs me:

"The president’s first four selections for his second term all happen to be white men, prompting criticism from some supporters who would like to see women in the mix."

Four? Just four?? How about evaluating whether someone selected for a job is the best available and not worrying about a trend from such a diminishingly small sample size?

I swear, even when people claim to not be for quotas, they're for quotas...; 1/9/13, 3:04 PM

Get a bullhorn out, rabble-rouse for a bit, do a media appearance and call for a 'meeting' with Obama. Put the pressure on for a few days, say you want to work with Obama, but he's just being obstructionist.

Put together a task force and find the looniest "personal is political" women like Sandra Fluke, Code Pink etc. Have them have a meeting with Obama's people.

Eventually, as the whole thing unfolds, Obama will look like a misogynist old boy and you keep playing the media like a fiddle.

Pretty soon, you'll win in the old Chicago activist way which corrodes trust and treats our politics like a system of patronage. .

A bunch of new "czarinas" will make condom task forces and start a new bureaucracy and make us all more equal.

You're welcome, America.; 1/9/13, 3:29 PM

Bob Love and Reggie Theus had to hold him back and all.

It's pretty crazy!; 1/9/13, 3:33 PM

Obama will almost certainly have to appoint a woman to be Attorney General now that the other three slots are white men.; 1/9/13, 3:39 PM
