Valerie Jarrett: Hurray for Obama’s “womanly leadership”
It’s moronic exchanges like this one between White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and rambling Indian magazine editor Shoma Chaudhury — who slobbers all over President Obama for his “womanly” leadership — that should make every rational woman cringe.
First, there’s the nauseating gender identity politics pandering.
Second, there’s the snort-worthy detachment from reality (the Chicago thug-in-chief is “bringing the temperature down”?).
Third, there’s the embarrassing non-question question of a “journalist” unabashedly engaging in the obscene ego stroke of a government official.
This is the danger of thinking with your ovaries instead of your brain:
If you can’t watch neuron-impairing feminist drivel this early in the morning, I’ve transcribed the above clip for you:
Chaudhury: The criticism of the Obama administration seems to be particularly “male,” you know? When you say ‘why aren’t you fighting back, why aren’t you policing?’ I think we’ve been talking about having women in leadership positions, and Obama’s attitude to leadership is really a very womanly one, you know, which is consensual, which is thought through, which calms the temperature down of the world, and it’s very important to remember that, you know.
Jarrett: Thank you.
Chaudhury: Yesterday, Barbara Walters kept asking, ‘Should we police the world? You know, are we doing this? Should America fix it?’ And, I think, you know, I’m from India, and we really respect, uh, the Obama administration, purely for changing the way people speak, for changing the discourse of the world, and for bringing the temperature down, you know. This is a womanly leadership.”
Jarrett: Thank you. I’m going to tell him you said that. I think he’ll be very pleased to hear that that’s how you describe it. And I think I’m going to use that in terms of taking the temperature down. Because it has to come down if you are actually going to listen to one another, you have to take a lot of the heat out of the discourse. I think he’s very good at doing that, thank you.
Uh-huh.
Examples of Obama’s “womanly leadership” on the domestic front: “Punch back twice as hard” and Shut up and get out of the way.
I suppose this is what Chaudhury means by “womanly leadership:”
As for “bringing down the temperature,” I guess Ms. Chaudhury missed this:
Dozens of Indonesian Muslim students protested in front of the US embassy Friday against US President Barack Obama’s visit later this month to the world’s largest Muslim-majority country.
The around 50 protestors, who were coordinated by a Muslim university student body, shouted “Reject Obama… God is greater,” and threw their shoes at posters of Obama, copying a protest in Iraq against former US president George W. Bush.
Obama, who is hugely popular in Indonesia as he spent several years of his childhood in Jakarta in the late 1960s, is expected to visit the country for three days starting from March 20.
“Just like Bush, he is a war president and an enemy of Islam,” protest coordinator Fikri Ahmad Irhamul told AFP.
“He sent thousands of soldiers to Afghanistan, and many of our Muslim brothers have died because of him,” Irhamul said.
Small protests were also held in other cities across Indonesia.

Looks pretty hot to me.

That was thoughtful Michelle, but the photo shop of Bar-Hillary has already ruined breakfast.
Womanly leadership calls for womanly etiquette. Barry needs to stop bowing and start curtsying.
Thanks, Michelle, for ruining my breakfast … you really should have posted a barf alert …
So, Barry Obama is the alpha male AND alpha female? Top that Al Gore.
That explains a lot. Obama thinks with his ovaries. Who knew and when did they know it?
Yes, the words of an Indian journalist are profoundly important. Her words reflect only her positions and thoughts.
I will be more concerned when the White House makes an announcement that they will be practicing a more womanly approach.
Another Pres Obama fish story.
Actually, the phototshop of Obama looks like CA’s “wonderful” governor.
Take a penny, leave a penny.
Nothing but more twit TV.
Hmmm….”Glen or Glenda?” in the White House.
Does anyone in the NObama administration tell the truth …
Bill Clinton – First black president
Barry Obama – First hermaphrodite president
It’s certainly historical. Everything Obama does is historical. And they make sure they tell us that all the time.
Barry O: First Foreign President of the USA.
From YouTube – 24 seconds, wait for the punchline.
Funniest Movie Line Ever
So Obama is now the first woman president the same way Bill Clinton was the first black president!
The world is catching up with us aren’t they-India’s “journalist” can be just as stupid and pandering as ours. Is that what we mean by globalization?
Chaudhury/Cadbury:empty calories
I could scarcely read it.
Bet his constituents there are pissed they got dissed this week!
I guess this would explain why the “man” has no balls.
On that note – stand by for the new Obowma apology tour. Quite a welcome planned in Indonesia I hear.
…in a navy pantsuit…with pumps.
I’ve always thought he walked like a school yard sissy whose lace on his drawers tickled him. Maybe I was right.
Is Obummer what Arnold calls a “Girlie Man”?
What they don’t get is we don’t need a leader that isn’t an “ALPHA” we don’t need a BETA MALE or FEMALE, as the leader of the free world.
Indian people are, by and large, very intellectually arrogant.
This is a weird exchange in this video. Maybe the reporter is auditioning for The View.
We knew about this a year ago.
zero being a female is very credible, as opposed to being considered an alpha male which would require him to be that which he is not, a man.
I’ve been cringing since the days of Abzug, Steinam & Friedan.
Why must these tragic messes always assume they speak for me?!
Wow, disgraceful to women, news reporting, and leadership- all in one story!
***
How about we go for the “real McCoy” female president? Maggie Thatcher–or the Sarah’Cuda–have a lot more COJ***S than Comrade Obama (PBUH) or Jimmy Carter put together. And don’t even think about asking Maggie for her birth certificate.

GOOD GRIEF, there went my CHEERIOS!!! Please MM, a little more BARF WARNING on stories like this… I agree with some fellow posters, a CURTSY should be the new O-BOZO greeting to our foreign “ALLIES”… He could bring JIMMUH in to show him the PROPER way to CURTSY…
Aha! Oh, so you admit there is no Global Warming?! I thought so. Looks like a duel between Obama and Gore at twenty paces with their Peace Prizes at the ready!
Wow, that photoshop is scary. That is a photoshop,right?
Jarrett: Thank you. I’m going to tell him you said that. I think he’ll be very pleased to hear that that’s how you describe it.
the sickest part is that she’s probably right. Oputza…
Hey Chaudhury, why don’t you leave the real journalism to Michelle here. I’m sure there must be a stack of laundry somewhere that needs your interview skills. Can you feel that heat?
The necklace is a nice touch. Accessories are important!
Not now, I have a headache…..
After the Heathcare Nationization Pusch goes down in flames, Mr. Obama will need to change his tampon and take a couple Midol before his mid-day nap.
I’m not sure if we can survive the last three years of this little man’s presidency. The world is treating him like the panty waist he is.
Translation: Obama is a metrosexual girly-girl. Of course foreigners like that in an American leader. They’re all for anyone who makes America weak because they’re a bunch of jealous a-holes.
Jangar, I do not want to hear about your fantasies while I eat breakfast.
Another sign that Barry O has feminine traits – it seems like he’s dancing backwards quite often.
Apparently Obama likes being told that he is a “girly man“.
What irony. Clinton was the first black president and Obama is the first woman president. Clinton stole Obama’s thunder and so he had to find something else to be first at.
Great surmises, MM, and straight-on!
America needs instrumental leadership – ASAP! – not the milquetoast expressiveness Obama has displayed since day one!

With Bill Ayers taking the lead.
If this is what “womanly leadership” looks like, then there’s an argument to be made for repeal of the 19th Amendment.
Otherwise, when I ponder that phrase I’ll confine my thoughts to Maggie Thatcher and Golda Meir.
BTW. The latest is that POTUS is real “tired” – on the verge of burnout according to Axelrod.
One can only hope.

Ya, little Barry is flabby as a President.
Give him (her?) a break. Bill Clinton already nabbed the title of our first “black” president– why not let Obama be the first woman?
I’ve noticed that Obama has very feminine hands.
That would be Barry not Michelle.

I know this is going to be controversial, but the 19th Amendment only mentions the right to vote. It does not explicitly ammend the Constitution to make any of the following “he” or “his” references gender-neutral.
I am quite happy with Michelle Bachman, Virginia Foxx, Sarah Palin, etc., and I not don’t mean the above in any “sexist” way at all. It’s merely a statement of fact that the original Constitution is filled with references to “he” and “his”, and the 19th Amendment does not change the language of those references.
The 19th Amendment clearly gave women the right to vote, but it is not clear to me that it gave women the right to hold office in the U.S. Government.
I have no doubt that, if deemed necessary for any reason, a new ammendment could be quickly passed and ratified in order to give women the Constitutional right to hold elected office. But, if that were deemed necessary, would it mean that all women currently holding office would have to leave office until the ammendment was passed and ratified?
Again, I’m not being sexist, just Constitutionalist. I’m quite happy with many of the women holding office, I’m just not sure the 19th Amendment covered that.
Well, that explains the mom jeans and throwing like a girl…………….
NO!
gooot one, tks, lmao

A commenter on my blog noted:
No, it was taken by the White House official photographer…from inside his hidey hole in the POTUS bedroom closet while Michelle my belle was out in the victory garden.
“We’d Like to Know More About You…”
I don’t know how much more of this “bodice ripping” rhetoric I can take! h/t Spaceycakes.
Hillary: “He has very long fingers.”
Punahou grad…and Harvard…
Someone put Jimmy Carter together?
Obama could probably kick Dick Cavett’s okole.
Rogue–don’t make me go all ‘Sweet Savage Love’ on ya’ll.
No way! Any Yale drama major can take any Harvard law guy any day.
Are we sure Obama didn’t attend Emily Dickinson College?
Was his roommate killed in a kiln explosion?
OK, since he couldn’t be America’s first black president, I guess he’ll have to settle for being America’s first woman president.
Racial and gender confusion abound on the left.
Saw a clip of Obama playing basketball in the WH gym over the weekend. He moves like Swin Cash at the top of the key but he posts up just like Cheryl Miller. He can dress like he wants, but it is just wrong to be wearing Air Jordan Pink Ice shoes.
The mom pants President.
They wouldn’t have much influence otherwise.
It’s why I refer to the KnuckleHead in Chief as the BoyQueen_President in Name Only. (BQ_PINO).
Seems like he has a seat next to WhOOOpi on the View sewed up tight.
Puke.
Bear1909 out.
Wow, an Indian woman who speaks for approximately 1.17 billion people! How come I’ve never heard of the all-knowing Shoma Chaudhury before?
It seems that nobody ever taught ol’ Shoma that, “when you ASSUME what approximately 1.17 billion people think, you tend to make an ASS out of YOURSELF…and APPROXIMATELY 1.17 BILLION PEOPLE.“
I said nothing about a thong.
Alohaguy,
Aloha kakahiaka. Pehea `oe?
Before I go on, to be certain it should be acknowledged that men do Hula, and many Kumu Hula are men, such as Keali’i Reichel, Kaui Kamana’o, Kunewa Mook, and others, and some beautiful, graceful, breathtaking, awe inspiring Hula have been choreographed by men.
With that said, in context with President Barack Hussein Obama and the comment about his womanly leadership, the next thing you know we will see Barack Hussein Obama, who leads like a woman, wearing a skirt, and with long hair, dancing a Hula with the Wahine!
President Barack Hussein Obama is supposed to be kama`aina.
Mahalo!
Maui no ka ‘oi!
Aloha a hui hou
damn if that isn’t a creepy photo-shop pic of der leader…good on ya Michelle.
