Looking for the best woman for the job

If you need further proof of how incredibly unserious this Administration is, here it is:

Woman CEO sought for Summers job

The pick doesn’t have to fit that bill precisely, but it’s highly likely Obama’s pick will be either a woman or a business leader – and preferably both, said several people familiar with the situation.
Um, doesn’t fit the female(?) bill precisely? What does that mean? Is a male candidate acceptable so long as he always dresses in drag and appears female? Oy.

News flash: The country couldn’t care less about the gender of Larry Summer’s replacement. We are looking for competency and for someone who can “git ‘er done”. Personally, I don’t even care if Summer’s replacement is mammal. But as always, Obama is concerned more with making some special interest group happy than with taking care of the country’s business.

I have no doubt that there are many qualified women out there. However, finding the right person for the job goes a little bit deeper than a mere resume and a lot deeper than the area between a person’s legs. During this time of high unemployment and economic uncertainty the president should concentrate on finding the best person for the job and leave the gynocology to the out of it.
