Obama's prejudice

 

How stupid do they think we are?

President elect Obama has chosen three times as many men for his cabinet as women. Of course we all want the most qualified person in each position, but are we really supposed to believe that men are three times as likely to be qualified than women?

Or is it likely that the pattern of sexism exhibited by his campaign workers goes higher up than his lead speech writer, poster-groper Jon Favreau? Is Obama's Transition team as sexist also?

How can Obama lead the nation when he has such an obvious blind spot regarding half the population? There are plenty of qualified women that should be on his cabinet. Appointing Clinton and two-fer Susan Rice, I suppose, was supposed to distract us from the reality that Obama fits comfortably into the sexist politics as usual.
