Obama: ‘Congress Would Get More Done If There Were More Women’

99. My mistake, he's not suggesting anything...

He outlined a problem that he knew the people in the crowd would agree with, and then offered no solution.

“Fewer than 20 percent of the seats in Congress are occupied by women. Is it possible that Congress would get more done if there were more women in congress?” he asked. “I think it’s fair to say: That is almost guaranteed.”

Now the logical question, which I moved on to, but admittedly, the president did not address, is if there should be more women in congress, and the size of congress isn't going to change, then some of the people there will have to go in favor of women. Since he's suggesting that having more women in congress is better, is he suggesting that Democratic women replace Democratic men? If he's suggesting that Democratic women take repuke seats, then I'm all for that, but I'm all for Democratic men taking repuke seats as well.

I don't fault him at all for winning the election, but if he's suggesting that things run better with women in positions of power, he had a chance to help the first women get elected and chose to run against her because he felt he could do a better job.

Please don't misunderstand me, I have no issues with him running in the primary (although I neither voted for him nor Clinton), I'm glad he's the president, but this speech, what I've heard of it, is nothing more than just "playing to the crowd". He can do better.
