Obama Picks Larry Summers to Head the National Economic Council

 It is being reported that president-elect Obama will name Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary and Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council tomorrow.

  You may remember that Larry Summers was president of Harvard until he was forced to resign under intense pressure from woman’s groups for saying that “innate differences” between men and women might be one reason why there are not more women in high positions in the math and science fields.

 He had the audacity to claim that men and women might be different and because of this he came under fire from womans groups as being misogynistic. He apologised at least three times for supposedly attacking women and finally resigned as president of Harvard.

 He said something that wasn’t politically correct and for that he paid the price of losing the right to make a living. Tomorrow he will receive a post in the Obama cabinet. For this I say, good. This man unfairly came under attack for saying that men and women might be, gasp, different. He lost his job for this inane comment. He did not deserve what happened to him.

 It is going to be interesting to see how the same organizations that called for his head back then are going to react now. Are they going to accept him back to the fold simply because a far left liberal is the one making the appointment under the guise that he has now paid his dues? If so they are exposing themselves as hypocrites. If the man deserved to lose his job then does he still deserve this promotion now? Or will they fight this nomination and once again deny him the ability to make a living?

 If they choose the former than it just goes to show you how fickle they are. If they choose to ignore this made up controversy now just because Barack Obama made him his pick than it just proves how phony this whole controversy was. If they choose the latter than I will be the first to defend this man. He unfairly lost his job for a contrived controversy for having the gall to actually say that men and women might have some differences. Think about that for a minute, men and women might have some differences? Who would have thought it? For that comment he was ridiculed until he resigned.

 He didn’t deserve it then and he doesn’t deserve it now.
