Chaudhury: The criticism of the Obama administration seems to be particularly “male,” you know? When you say ‘why aren’t you fighting back, why aren’t you policing?’ I think we’ve been talking about having women in leadership positions, and Obama’s attitude to leadership is really a very womanly one, you know, which is consensual, which is thought through, which calms the temperature down of the world, and it’s very important to remember that, you know. -Shoma Chaudhury, Indian Journalist Chaudbury is partially correct. Obama has no problem getting in touch with his softer side when it comes to terrorists making nukes...

It’s moronic exchanges like this one between White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and rambling Indian magazine editor Shoma Chaudhury — who slobbers all over President Obama for his “womanly” leadership — that should make every rational woman cringe. First, there’s the nauseating gender identity politics pandering. Second, there’s the snort-worthy detachment from reality (the Chicago thug-in-chief is “bringing the temperature down”?). Third, there’s the embarrassing non-question question of a “journalist” unabashedly engaging in the obscene ego stroke of a government official. This is the danger of thinking with your ovaries instead of your brain:

As part of the Women in the World Summit, President Obama's senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, sat down with 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl to discuss important political issues and the challenges women face in the workplace. In this clip, Indian magazine editor Shoma Chaudhury noted that the presidents leadership style promotes cooperation and "turning down the temperature" of conflicts around the world, earning him respect abroad. Jarrett said she would share the praise with her boss, whod be pleased.
