gunpostal, you don't tell me what to do. And, I don't think I called you any names. I will, if you continue. Why don't you grow up and say where I am wrong.
You, libs, can't take facts.
BTW. Yes, this admin is pathetic.

Ummm . . . Mr. President, some people say that women will especially be hurt by the implementation of government-run healthcare.
Obama:
So?? Look, women's issues can not cloud my legacy.

If I was him, I would be a little scared and looking down also. The woman across from him looks like shes about to pounce if he says anything right or wrong, ready to tear him a new one.

O**** wishes he were playing golf, in Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard or anywhere where these
women are not. What on earth will be topics of conversation? He has no legitimate rebuttal to any opposition they may bring up but each probably fears for her job if conversation turns against his policies/hopes/mandates/rulings. Speaking of rulings, where the heck does he get off telling the SCOTUS how to rule. Put him in the village on the moon. Ice cubes tinkling in glasses will probably make at least one jump when breaking the silence. He is so wishing he had a teleprompter. Wonder what punishment the scheduler will endure at luncheon's end. Bet more than one woman wishes she were home with flu. God bless each woman. Probably the worst two hours of their lives.

As noted by Amy Sullivan in her Time.com article "The White House Boys’ Club: President Obama Has a Woman Problem." all these women clearly look pissed off. Just look at their faces and body language. The photo's caption leaves out that these women are senior staff who called this meeting with the President to discuss their "invisibility."

Valerie Jarrett at the other end of the table is thinking of more ways to, slumlord the poor and ignorant.
It's the Chicago way and we are stuck with her and Obama until Nov. 6th 2012
The Jarrett Chronicles: Corruption – The Chicago Way
December 4th, 2009
Check out this five part series on Valerie Jarrett that was just released from the Americans for Limited Government Research Department.
Valerie Jarrett’s Grove Parc Fiasco: The Rich Got Richer: “In 1987, U.S. District Judge Marvin Aspen had appointed Habitat to oversee construction of all public housing in Chicago as part of the historic Gautreaux case, which found that the CHA had failed for decades to integrate housing. At first, Habitat’s job was to desegregate housing by building “scattered site” units in more affluent white neighborhoods across the city. But the effort had little impact. The company built about 1,800 units, mostly in lower-income Hispanic neighborhoods before the program ended.”
Valerie Jarrett’s Underwater Demolition: Cataloging Failure: Mayor Daley was displeased when Jarrett lost Spiegel, a catalog company which had operated warehouses in Chicago for 88 years. Daley wanted a more aggressive effort from the Department of Planning and Development. The company wanted to relocate its old warehouses. Her department proposed six sites, but Spiegel found all of them to be deficient. The best site was covered with 20 to 30 feet of water. Jarrett promised that the site could be filled-in in time to meet Spiegel’s deadline, but the company did not believe it.
Valerie Jarrett and Cecil Butler: Partners in Slime: Cecil Butler started managing the Lawndale Restoration, a low-income community in 1974. In 1995, Cecil Butler received a $51 million loan, backed by the state, to renovate Lawndale Restoration. In 1999, Valerie Jarrett’s Habitat formed an LLC with Butler’s Boulevard Management. In 2000, Cecil Butler hired the Habitat Company to manage Lawndale Restoration.
The Valerie Jarrett Health Care Plan: In 2004, Jarrett’s Habitat Company violated the Family and Medical Leave Act by terminating an ill employee. David Burnett had been employed with Habitat for fourteen years. His boss had no problems with him until late 2003 when Burnett began to have symptoms of prostate cancer.
Valerie Jarrett’s Cronies See “Green”: It appears that Jarrett tried to get a contract for Allison Davis, Obama’s former boss. In 1996, Habitat was overseeing the redevelopment of Cabrini Green. Habitat seemed to favor a plan from MCL/ASD LLC. This partnership was the creation of Dan McLean of MCL Development Corporation and Allison Davis. Davis went on to become a major fundraiser for Obama.
