Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner on Sunday pushed back against the argument made by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and allies that women were the biggest losers of jobs during the Obama administration.
In a series of Sunday TV show appearances, Geithner repeatedly called the GOP claim “ridiculous and very misleading,” and argued that Republicans were selectively reporting job losses for part of the recession to attack the president.
Geithner’s public remarks came amid a heated campaign battle between the camps of President Obama and the presumptive Republican nominee to win over female voters. Geithner, in three appearances Sunday, came out swinging against Romney’s recent claims that the Obama administration had waged an economic “war” against women.
Romney had said earlier this week that the “real war on women has been waged by the policies of the Obama administration . . . did you know that of all the jobs lost during the Obama years, 92.3 percent of them are women? During the Obama years, women have suffered.”
