Pres BO has more problems on the table and they were not created by Republicans.
Problem # 1 is a new book: Ron Suskind has a new book and it makes two very provocative statements:
First, the Obama White House is hostile to women. The Washington Post has a story about this, too; and,
Second, there is chaos in The White House economic team.
Let's look at the first point.
Ann Althouse has a great post this morning about the "woman problem".
She is skeptical and so am I.
In other words, I don't think that Pres BO has trouble with female advisers. I think that he has trouble with people, male or female or whatever else they have in the Dem party, who tell him what he does not want to hear!
On the second topic, I think that the chaos reflects Pres BO's lack of executive experience and his unwillingness to hold anyone accountable.
Nobody gets fired in this White House. Can you say Solyndra, guns to Mexican cartels and that stimulus of '09?
We will read the book and give you more definitive conclusions later.
Problem # 2 is that Senator Mangin is now the 6th Senate Dem to oppose the "jobs proposal":
""If spending money solved our crises, we would be okay," Manchin said.

"When the President first spoke to Congress, I had some serious reservations. After we did a breakdown on the numbers, I was even more skeptical.
At $450 billion, it is a tremendous cost, with a doubtful return on investment."Manchin said he worries that the bill includes ideas that have been tried before and failed, at tremendous cost to taxpayers."
Problem # 3 is that the Dem Senate will not get to Pres BO's bill until next month. Didn't Pres BO call on Congress to "pass the bill now"? I guess that the Senate Dems are not in such hurry after all, specially with so much Sen Dem opposition.
