This ‘innate differences’ thing happened in 2005, but it is neo-lib nonsense — like saying Gore claimed he invented the internet, or Ferroro and the Clintons made ‘racially insensitive’ remarks, or Palin ‘thought Africa was a country.’

It is most certainly not “neo-lib nonsense.” One of the founders of The New Agenda, Nancy Hopkins, was in attendance at the meeting where Summers made his ridiculous remarks. In fact, she was so incensed that she got up and walked out.

Summers has no business in any position of responsibility.

Before attacking the CLINTON’s Treasury appointee who cleaned up after Bush Sr and did a good job with bailouts — PLEASE look into this more carefully. Please let’s attack some bot candidate instead.

Summers was up for confirmation hearings several times as he worked his way up through the Treasury after Clinton appointed him in 1993 (as Under Secretary iirc). The 1991 memo was an issue then but Bill wasn’t worried (imo the memo was satire).

Accusations of ‘abrasive personality’ didn’t keep Bill from promoting Summers throughout the Clinton administration.

Restoring the Clinton cabinet is a GOOD thing for the country. Let’s not give the bots an excuse to sabotage it.

For my own PUMA credentials — see my old blog begun last fall, 1950democrat.livejournal.com; and my later web pages ironmyvote.com begun early 2008; turndownobama.com begun May 2008; PumaResponders.com begun this summer. I’ve been posting for months on Hillaryis44.org and from their beginnings on clintondems.com, bitterpoliticz, pumapac.org, etc, as 1950democrat and later as turndownobama-com.

I’ve started a diary at clintondems.com supporting Summers.

Let’s hope that our press in the Boston Globe and the Washington Post, plus a NYT articles will have them think it through. I imagine Valerie Jarrett’s inbox is rather full as well.

If Obama does NOT pick Summers, we will have to give him credit as such. We need to reinforce positive as well.

I wonder if Obama is even aware that there’s an issue with Summers and his comments regarding women. It’s certainly not at the top of his agenda and I agree that he doesn’t care. The man is so obviously arrogant. With that attitude for all the world to see, his fall will be a brutal one…as they usually are. Nixon comes to mind. And, Bill too. Anything not addressed in personal shortcomings is just sitting there waiting to reveal itself.

He seems over his head.
