Gender Bean-Counting At The Obama White House

This is simply delicious--it seems that the President's elevation of Austan Goolsbee to the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (replacing Christina Romer who is heading back to the academy) has women's groups panties in a wad (did I really just type that?). Apparently, the President has insufficiently appointed women to key economic positions in his administration, and Goolsbee's promotion is sticking in some craws. 

Women's groups ought to be pushing for even LESS gender diversity in the Administration--seems the Mr. Obama has in place has managed a recession that is downright kind to women, compared to men
