Is Obama Uncomfortable Around Women?Amy Siskind, 10.15.2009President and Co-Founder of The New Agenda
Despite much talk of hope and change, President Obama seems largely tone-deaf to women and women's issues. Post-racial country -- yes. Post gender inequality -- not so much.
First act signed...Lilly Ledbetter Act. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. First Supreme Court Nominee, Sonia Sotamayor. His head of the Domestic Policy Council, head of his Communications Office, his head of Homeland Security (HOMELAND SECURITY!!!), all women...yet he's uncomfortable.
