Women tell Obama they’re disappointed in him (we suspect this isn’t the first time he’s heard that)
President Obama’s losing independents. He’s losing men. He’s losing Hispanics. Now he’s even losing liberal women’s rights groups because his circle of economic advisers is about as women-friendly as the Augusta National Golf Club.

The Hill gives voice to these poor, unfortunate women:
President Obama has wiped the smile off Terry O'Neill's face
Women’s rights groups — including the National Organization for Women (NOW) and The New Agenda — have sharply criticized the White House for not including more women in prominent positions overseeing the economy and financial policy. The groups are pressuring the president to nominate Elizabeth Warren as the inaugural head of a new consumer financial protection office.
“It’s very disappointing. You can’t say unexpected but very disappointing that the president is content to build a boy’s club in the White House in many areas,” Amy Siskind, head of The New Agenda, said Friday after the president named Goolsbee to the job.
“The problem with the president insulating himself with the old boys around him is that he is really not getting information about how people are struggling, how women are struggling,” Terry O’Neill, head of NOW, said earlier last week.
You have to admit that the women have a point. They couldn’t screw this economy up any more than Obama’s boyfriends have.
