Obama gets grief for male-only basketball games
features.csmonitor.com — President Obama's in hot water again. And it's that same old nemesis. No, not Rush Limbaugh. The other really round culprit. You know, the basketball. Some critics are upset because he's not more inclusive when he participates in the sport. It's not ... (more) Obama gets grief for male-only basketball games

Jillian Bandes: Misogyny In The White House? Nope.
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — ... puts on a show in the White House at the expense of well-thought-out policy decisions. I don't, however, believe he is a misogynist. This was the guy who had the first White House golf foursome with a woman. Valerie Jarrett is his closest personal adviser. Christina Romer is on his economic team. Sure, there are mostly men around him -- but how is that different than in any other White House administration? Despite this, Bonnie Erbe of the Thomas Jefferson Street blog decided to attack Obama for being anti-woman. Whether it was his treatment of Hillary Clinton on the ...

Erbe: Obama Akin To Jesse Helms?
Riehl World View — ... Dayum. Ouch! Well, that about says it all. And I thought blogs have been hard on the guy. President Obama could invite Chamique Holdsclaw to the private White House basketball court and Billie Jean King to play tennis with him. I still wouldn't believe he's any more comfortable dealing with women or concerned about "women's" issues than the dearly departed former Sen. Jesse Helms. President Obama talks the talk a lot better and a lot louder than Helms. But Jesse Helms was so rooted in his atavist traditions, he chose to remain true to his ...

Mad Men in the White House
Tennessee Guerilla WomenBonnie Erbe comments on the recent news about the White House boys club culture and notes the remarkable transformation of Michelle Obama: President Obama drew heat last week for a story that surfaced outing his private White House male-only b-ball games. The story was that even though two female members of his cabinet were members of their college basketball teams, they were excluded, as were all women, from this most private of male-only clubs. The story became a metaphor for how the president views women generally and threatened to reveal some ...

Barack Obama Hates Women
Balloon Juice — This is just asinine: Jesse Taylor deals with this nonsense, but I think it is important to single out Savannah Guthrie for starting all this nonsense: NBC White House correspondent Savannah Guthrie asked him that earlier this week. She asked him if his preference for all-male hoops sends the wrong signal. Or as she put it, “Some people might look at it and say, ‘Gosh, there’s the old boys club again.’” Well done, Savannah. Next to the ...

BlogTalk: Men's Clubs and Fox
The Caucus — ... Mr. Obama’s first-time female golfing companion this past weekend — an adviser Melody Barnes — told Ms. Dowd she’d grown up golfing, and was determined not to hit triple bogeys and shame the entire female world. At the Thomas Jefferson St. blog, Bonnie Erbe wasn’t impressed by the president’s decision to invite Ms. Barnes, the first time a woman’s been along since he’s been in office. President Obama could invite Chamique Holdsclaw to the private White House basketball court and Billie Jean King to play tennis with him. I still wouldn’t believe he’s any more comfortable ...

The Democratic Party just doesn't get it
The Political Carnival — If they think they can stumble around with half assed talking points on health care reform and then offer up to the screeching talk show monkeys stuff like this? Doomed, seriously doomed. The monkeys are already working on Obama hates women and Obama sells access, do we really need to give them fresh shit? Someone needs to shove some message discipline down their throats. ...
