Geithner: Romney's statements on women "misleading and ridiculous"


(CBS News) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pushed back on Mitt Romney’s statements that women made up almost all jobs lost during the Obama presidency.

“It’s misleading and ridiculous,” Geithner said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s just a political moment.”

On the campaign trail, Romney attempted to turn the discussion to women and the economy, blaming President Obama for hurting women’s checkbooks.

At campaign events, Romney repeatedly said the president’s policies are waging “the real war on women,” pointing to a statistic that women make up 92.3 percent of jobs lost since Mr. Obama took office.

In response to questions by host Bob Schieffer, Geithner said “you have to look at the whole duration of the recession.

“The recession started in 2008. . . It was already a year in the making before President Obama came into office,” Geithner said, noting that men lost the most jobs at the beginning of the recession, due to construction and manufacturing job loss.

Geithner admitted that the second part of the recession saw more female job losses, because of teacher and education layoffs due to state budget cutbacks.

“Basically you’re saying that [Romney] is right?” Schieffer asked.

To that, Geithner responded: “It’s a meaningless way to look at the basic contours of the economy in that period of time, again because it starts artificially at a time when the President came into office and the crisis was still building momentum.”

Ah, "True But False". I notice that the charge of being ridiculous isn't't followed by a single salient fact. Typical Obama tactic, issue a statement without any facts to back it and assume the Obama campaign workers in the media will publish it without comment. Sadly, they are correct in that assumption.

Good on Mittens for using some facts to point out how little the Usurper has helped women.

 .  Why don't we just call it what it is - a war on america.    Obama is attacking every facet and corner of american life for men and women alike.   

Geithner is a stooge and knows there is zero defense to the actions of this horrible admn.

I have no idea about whether women, in total, lost more jobs or not. But frankly, Bob Schieffer's “Basically you’re saying that [Romney] is right?” question was completely retarded. Geithner claimed - whether accurately or not I do not know] - that disproportionately more males lost jobs at the beginning of the recession, and that eventually tapered off and women eventually also started losing jobs. He didn't say that Romney was right - basically or otherwise.

I never liked Romney - he's like one of those Japanese polished mud balls in my opinion - and, frankly, his campaign so far has done little to change my mind. Frankly, I don't think he can ever overcome the fact that, shiny exterior aside, he seems to have no integrity and can't stick to any principles, but instead floats about, going whichever way the wind blows. It's a pity because this shiny turd will hand the election to Obama...

Frankly (and to abuse my soapbox while I have it) I don't like the way our political system has degenerated and I hate how polarized the majority of us become. We end up trying to box everyone else with labels like "neo-con" or "communist" and attacking people - other Americans - who we deem aren't in the same box as ourselves. But I guess, this is the nature of the beast...
