Obama's Boys Club

I don’t know if you guys saw it in the news on Monday, but Obama got knocked for having a “boys club” administration because his basketball games and golf outings don’t include women. Coincidentally, staffer Melody Barnes joined Obama for his Sunday golf game.  Which all made me think of a couple of things:
  • You know Melody Barnes was thrilled about this assignment. Weekend golf with the boss AND her picture in every newspaper in the country in her golf outfit. [Nice ballcap Melody.]
  • They used to let Michelle join the basketball games – til she kicked their ass
  • Critics complain that almost half of his top advisers are male.
  • Presidential basketball isn’t the hottest ticket in town. FLOTUS weekly bunco night is where the real action is.
  • Next thing you know, he’s going to try to soften his image by talking about last week’s episode of Top Chef (but I can sooooo not believe Jen messed up her fish dishes during Restaurant Wars, can you?!)
  • The man has two young daughters. Let him enjoy his basketball game before he has to get back to scrapbooking.
  • Boys club – please. Hilary cleans up at the weekly poker game.
  • I’m sorry, we just emerged from 8 years of John Wayne and you think THIS administration has too much testosterone?
