Look at the senior women meeting with Obama in this White House photo at a dinner they called to discuss their invisibility. Look at their faces and body language. They are pissed off.
Coverage in the Washington Post...focused attention on the frustration of Obama’s female advisers. But the problem has been obvious almost since Obama took office. And while the explanations so far have blamed members of the mostly-departed boys club–Robert Gibbs, Rahm Emanuel–Obama himself is responsible for a work atmosphere that marginalizes and ignores women.
"...there were only 58 women in the 142 highest senior staff positions at the Obama White House."
Even when women are in the room with Obama, they are sometimes seen but not heard.
Christina Romer [former chair of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors] talked about the difficulty she had getting the floor in policy discussions. Suskind relates the story of how Obama reacted angrily to one suggestion by Romer, and yet calmly heard out the same point from Larry Summers a few days later.
These complaints will ring familiar to most professional women. And we know that the difference between temporary annoyances and an intolerable situation is a boss who acknowledges the issue and moves quickly to address it.
Even at the dinner pushed for by top female staffers so they could air their grievances directly with Obama, his reaction–as told by Suskind–amounted to an apologetic shrug.
The men who cut their female colleagues out of meetings and decision-making were his friends and closest advisers.

Here’s a direct link to the photo in question so you don’t have to give Time any hits:

Can’t seem to grab the photo to post it here.
There may well be an imbalance when one merely measures body part counts but when it comes down to the balance between testosterone and estrogen, awash perhaps.
The most feminine looking person in that picture is wearing a white shirt and a tie! I also bet that they can all throw better than him!

that picture , he just told them they were having Hotdogs LOL
Ironically, he has the nerve to try to pressure the Masters club to allow the CEO of IBM, a woman to join their “private” club.
the article is from last September? The photo is from 2009? Got anything more recent?
And women vote for him in droves.....
I'm sure this is true.
I wonder if the author is aware it happens to many men, too?
The less "alpha" a male is, the more likely his ideas and suggestions are to be ignored, regardless of how good they are.
He’s got Valerie Jarret and Michelle. I imagine the both of them like the amount of females in the inner circle just where it is thank you. Then again, I honestly don’t see him having much use for women other than as pawns to use when necessary.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“They are pissed off.”
This is an article for Time.
Unbelievable how far their standards have dropped, huh?
I do not get the point of this story. Trying to get back the Angry White Male vote? Those who Rule the Roost are: Valerie Jarrett (born in Iran), Michelle-My-Bell and her evil voodoo practicing Mother who lives in the WH ostensibly to take care of the kids, Mrs. Robinson. It has long been well understood that these women wag the dog (O). Susan Rice, UN Ambassador who has by-passed Hillary at State, and that Irish woman, run foreign policy. This article is pure fantacy.
Libtard women looking “pissed off”?
That’s the way ALL of the ones I know look most of the time.

fork in the glass trick didn’t work ?
Add Muslim to the mix and you know why the women are dissed.
