Book: Obama White House ‘Has a Real Woman Problem’

The Obama White House is a “hostile” environment for women even though they occupy many of the senior positions in the West Wing, according to a new book.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind interviewed more than 200 people, including President Obama, for "Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and The Education of A President," which will be released Sept. 20.

The book portrays a White House in which Obama struggled with a divided group of advisers, some of whom he didn't initially consider for their high-profile roles. And top female advisers said they felt left out of key meetings or overpowered by their male counterparts.

overpowered by their male counterparts.

Thus it shall ever be. As long as men are men and women are women.

I don’t know what to believe here. If my experience is any guide, a lot of liberal women are hyper-sensitive and always looking for slights.

This stuff, Solyndra, LightSquared, Fast and Furious. This is just the beginning. Wait until our Clown-in-Chief leaves office in 2013. Then we will be hit with a tsunami of stories from ex White House staffers about incompetence, dysfunctionality and corruption in this adminstration. It won’t be pretty.

I’m sure it’s his only chance to be top dog. As soon as he retires to the private quarters, he’s probably treated like the eunuch he is.

I can think of an excellent way to capitalize on that in the upcoming election.
