Does anyone here who is claiming this is some sexist move actually have any insight at all as to why the woman left the office? msakel dismisses what I believe is the only analysis into the reasons because she apparently doesn’t like the answers but, of course, she points to no other facts supporting her theory.

What credibility does the New Agenda have when all it takes for the sexism calls to start is a woman being fired or not hired. This is 2009 people. Let’s work a little harder in our analysis please.

And a fact or an actual basis for an argument every now and again would be helpful.

This type of thing is not advancing the ball. It fulfills every negative stereotype of feminism that we should be combating.

The ‘cheat sheet’ by Chris Cillizzi at the WashingPost has a predictable commentary on this, citing reasons real and imaginary why she was released from her duties. Cillizzi is just a mouthpiece for the White House staffers he depends on to give him his daily gossip. He stopped being a “Journalist” eons ago…

So, Robert Gibbs, that ineffectually effete, formidable incompetent flip-flopping mouthpiece of ObaMyopia, stated as a ‘reason’ that Ellen Moran had “Mommy duties” and Cillizzi seems to regurgitate the White House lies. The truth is they’re preparing someone, male of course, for the job who’d fit in and laugh harder at the sexist jokes. Let’s hope it ain’t sweetie Jon FAvreau!..

Periodically, Barack will feel down and start launching firing attacks to boost his misogynist appeal among his hoops boys…

I’d like to hope that she’s got better pay now and a better job.
The appearance is that she was “kicked out.” Who knows? What I do know is that Emily’s List was a big plop of disillusionment to me with their goo gooing after The One.

We need to know what happened. And we need to know how much she and the men around her were paid. Obama is such a leader of misogynists that I am sure she was done wrong. If that is not the case it would be prudent of the Obamaites to give an accounting of what happened. If they don’t our assumptions are valid.

the number of women in the cabinet is low – the UN slot, while important, isn’t really a cabinet seat and usually isn’t. take her away and you have the lowest female headcount in years. BWB was much better. that shows you haw bad the female involvement here is.
the boyz klub is up and running.
I hate this fact and even more the lame defenses people bring for The One. His senate office was heavily male, and they out-earned the few equivalent rank women. this is fact, google it.
and now such a male-centric WH. like the Kennedy admin., people say. Yep, where women were ornaments or sex objects and men did important work while the women assisted them.
glad I was not suckered into voting for this sexist pig. Val Jarrett, Mrs. Obama’s cousin, is hardly representative of women. The One did not mentor her – she mentored his wife – and the other prominent women, Hillary, should be in the Oval.

No communications director can spin Obama and his administration’s repeated mistakes. She is better off under the bus at this point.

Maybe she found out how much less she was being paid than the men.
