11. Yahoo has a terrific new CEO just on the job.

I'm with you in your OP, but here's the great news.

The new CEO is a huge supporter of President Obama and has raised money for him.

She (yes a woman) is the youngest CEO of all the Fortune 500 companies. She's 37.

She's a brilliant engineer who graduated from Stanford specializing in artificial intelligence.

She was Google's 18th employee and designed Google's famous home page and was a big part of Google's early success.

She was picked to be the new CEO of Yahoo when she was 10 months pregnant (another glass ceiling crashing) and just had a baby boy.

She is shaking up Yahoo from top to bottom and attracting lots of talented people to Yahoo.

She's out to revamp Yahoo and she's off to great start already and Yahoo's stock just hit its 52 week high Friday when the rest of the market was down.

So, give the new CEO a chance. She's only been there 100 days, gave birth to a baby and...she's a big public supporter of President Obama. So take heart. Things there are changing.
