re: Why did our President only call on female reporters during his press conference?

Here is a Care2 article about the press conference.

According to the article, the male reporters were NOT informed ahead of time that only women would be called on by Oduma.

For the final White House briefing of the 2014 calendar year, President Barack Obama informed the press corps that he planned to do something just a little bit different, and dedicate all question slots to those reporters who are less often heard from at the events. What they weren’t told ahead of time was that the reporters in question would be women. All of them.

The article is the usual left wing nonsense.

Still, there were a few men in the press corps who not only applauded the move to have an all women press conference but, as the event progressed, started to understand somewhat what it feels like to be a female reporter often ignored in favor of her male colleagues. “While I hope it’s not a permanent ban on questions from male reporters, hard to complain about what women reporters have endured for decades,” tweeted Bloomberg News DC Bureau Chief Johnathan Allen.

Doesn't this idiot know there are also a lot of male reporters who never get called on by Oduma during his press conferences.



Some of the comments show how insane these women are.

Nicely said Marianne C. I would like to send a star again but could not. Women are just as capable of asking leading questions as are men, in fact women think deeper than men . After all how many women run households as opposed to men? Women are used to thinking about everything, men, some of them , not all, only think about their own interests.
Sorry boys, don't be disappointed, just grow up a little. You missed only one conference.

Men can't stand it (at least lots of them!) when they're not first for anything. Who cares if the President is going to smoke his Cuban Cigar...

Perhaps now some of them have a taste of what it's like for us to see a panel of ALL MEN held on birth control, and women are not allowed to speak.

Get over it. If not for women, none of us would be here. Get your priorities straight!

Well, it looks like we need more women to be interested in politics and the press corps. We also need more men, not just a (male) President or (male President's First Lady) to support such a forum. Maybe better yet, we could just have electoral votes and state representation be mandated for election based upon equal percentages of race and gender, even creed. Maybe we'd have more voter turnout and for elections of a more representative government (rather than the white male, dominated one we currently have).

These nuts actually want a quota system to make sure that the percentage of women in Congress and the Senate is equal to the percentage of women in the country.

THESE WOMEN ARE frickING CRAZY!!!
