Candy Crowley On Lack Of
Diversity In Obama White
House: ´Does It Matter?´

Newsbusters, by Noel Sheppard

It really has been amazing to watch Obama´s media cover for the lack of diversity in his cabinet picks. A fine example of this hypocrisy came on CNN´s State of the Union Sunday when host Candy Crowley actually began a segment on the subject by asking her guests, "Does it matter?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY: There is a lot made about the president´s latest picks in the cabinet. Jack Lew, Senator Hagel, Senator Kerry in key positions here. Treasury, defense, state department. Something that your colleague Congressman Rangel said about the lack of diversity

"Diversity" is only important when a Republican is in office.

Always amusing watching liberals juggling ethics and semantics.

Maybe he could get some of his operatives to claim American Indian ancestry. If they´re short on that - they could always borrow some from that mentally bankrupt bastion of liberal diversity - Elizabeth Warren.

Face it - the only *actual* diversity most liberals possess is in the sexual orientation department...

No, it shouldn´t. The most qualified person, whomever that is, is what is important. Problem is the D have never believed that and therefore appear hypocritical and going against their core belief that it is the color of your skin, your gender all those intangibles that really shouldn´t matter. Qualifications is not a term the D understand.

There IS a lack of diversity in the White House.... nobody with any common sense!

Yes, it would matter to Ms Crowley if they dumped her off CNN and said a male would be more qualified. They have reason to with her abysmal performance during the Presidential debate.

Of course lack of diversity in an Obama White House doesn´t matter, Candy.
Diversity only matters when it can be used as a sledgehammer to criticize Republican administrations.
Just remember, Crowley, as debate moderator you did your best to help get that malignant incompetent re-elected.

1. "The Won" ["Stinky" to Michelle, and to us] shall not be criticized. Period. Got that, Noel?

2. "Diversity"? First, as I heard a radio-caller once say, "That´s what zoos are for." Well put. But in the White House, among Democrats, and throughout the other camps of the left [media, academia, Hollywood, etc.], what you will find is a nearly-perfect template-fit of ideological positions, no matter the vessel in which they reside.

First there was equal employment opportunity. And when that did not satisfy the leftists, affirmative action came along.
And when that didn´t work, diversity became the operative term.
Diversity, we were told by the left, was immportant, because, well, it offered diversity. So if a woman or minority was less qualified for employment, hire them anyway, for the sake of diversity.
(Beyond diversity is the quota system being used by graduate schools. Blacks and hispanics are granted admission (And ironically, white women are discriminated against)inconsistent with their academic ability.)

Race and gender really don´t matter in dem politics but for the reason candy came up with. It´s because they´re all across the board far left liberals, that is the real diversity problem.
Blacks don´t like global warming or gay marriage but they go along with the program because they want Obama´s "help" in other areas.Blacks are falling further behind despite Obama throwing more money into poverty programs and sending blacks to college.They´re still going to hit a brick wall when it´s employment time because they´re fully indoctrinated America haters.

Obama is more than a president to these fools.he´s god and king also,so he can do no wrong even if it´s huge examples of hypocrisy.

The Hypocrisy of CNN and the wretched Annie Crowley are appalling; I watched this horrid woman lecturing a Republican about "Needing to Compromise" on the gun issue. Her god, 0bama, is the poster boy of noncompromise, he puffs out his chest and proclaims to the Republicans that He Won, He makes the rules. On the budget deal, the Republicans raised taxes on the rich and many others and asked what 0bama would compromise on ... his answer was, "Nothing, I get this for free." Crowley and 0bama are hypocrites.

Ditto #1. Sexism is only important when a Republican´s in office as well. That´s why BJ Clinton and Dead Ted Kennedy are idols to people like Candy.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes´s letter to his employees is a battle cry that will echo beyond the Avenue of the Americas. "The administration’s attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time. We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth," he wrote.

A religious group spewing what the owners of One Liberty Place call hate speech against women, whites and gays can no longer demonstrate immediately outside the building´s entrance at 16th and Chestnut Streets, a judge ruled today. The owners of One Liberty Place in Center City Philadelphia filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge. The group is frequently seen perched on Center City street corners shouting at passersby through bullhorns. Liberty Place Retail Associates, which owns the building, has asked the state court to bar the group from gathering in front of the entrance

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal. The only other station to provide any coverage

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
