A new book claims that the Obama White House is a boys’ club marred by rampant infighting that has hindered the administration’s economic policy and left top female advisers feeling excluded from key conversations.
In an excerpt obtained by The Post, a female senior aide to President Obama called the White House a hostile environment for women.
“This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,” former White House communications director Anita Dunn is quoted as saying. “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”
“I felt like a piece of meat,” Christina Romer, former head of the Council of Economic Advisers, said of one meeting in which Suskind writes she was “boxed out” by Summers.

.......somehow I don’t see a Sarah Palin type female “whining” about “the boys” being mean to her in a few meetings.............
My daughter is a late twenties CPA in a large corporation and goes toe to toe with “the boys” every day. She appreciates the old adage that “you win some and lose some”...........
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, “ANYTHING” that causes the dims and Obama trouble and costs them votes hooray, I am all for! The goal is to get the bastards out of power..........
Ooh! Might be worth buying on Kindle.
Clinton turned the Oval Office into a brothel, Barry turns it into a bathhouse.
.
...and you’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
And thus the LSM says to zero: we made you and we can break you, too.
‘He left the Oval Office a broken president, a broken man.’
I guess being a man you don’t see what is clearly being spelled out here. Barry is gay, Rahm is gay and Larry Summers obviously stumbled into the closet. It’s not really that difficult to read between the lines.
Would you really like this story to be suppressed because you have two daughters who somehow - I’m not really sure how - fit into this White House tale?
“hostile workplace”
WTF is that?
I regard Obama as a sock-puppet for Jarrett, so it is alpha female Jarrett (who is the key player in the “upstairs” ruling clique) who is actually doing nothing to “empower women” in the WH.
Dunn (wife of Obama's personal eligibility attorney) is denying the quotes attributed to her but it is surprising to see this disgruntled backbiting from these influential women who are now kicking Obama when he is down. Are they also having buyer's remorse that they didn't go for Hillary and are now trying to grease the skids for Obama to be persuaded to withdraw for the 2012 election?
yo beat me to it!
It does have the feel of a boys club. I’ve never seen a photo of Barry playing golf or basketball with a woman in the group.
But don’t get the fish!! thank you...
......uh.......”suppressed?”.............”two” daughters?”..........”gay’s?”..........”closet?”..........”being a man?”...............
your right about one thing, I have no clue what you are trying to say...........do you?
Biden's a zombie. He really actually did want her for her braaaaaains but she misread the signals.
Remind me again why Women, Generationally-indentured Blacks and Jews vote for Democrats?
*Shakes Head, Walks Away*
(And don’t get all riled up; I’m two of the three...)
A bisexual Malignant Narcissist has a problem with women?
Really??
You could knock me over with a feather.
Personally I find it easier to believe that Jarrett and Miz First Lady run the show, but no one can complain about that without insinuating that Zero cannot function on his own.
Somehow, I don’t think a Sarah Palin or a Michele Bachman would have had this problem, handling the likes of Larry Summers (who is a pretty obnoxious individual, but still can be bull-dozed - see his frequent apologies). Even Hillary could have done it.
Romer and Dunn just weren’t up to the task
That was really funny. LOL
