Timothy Geithner is just the latest Administration mouthpiece to try to convince American voters that the number of women laid off during Mr. Obama’s stewardship of the recession is a ridiculous, meaningless number.

Pfui.

Statisticians know the figures show that George W. Bush likes women while Barack Obama prefers men because all the men were laid off under Mr. Bush; under Mr. Obama, only 7.7 percent of those who lost their jobs were men.

Of course, statisticians also know that fewer workers of any gender would have lost jobs had Obamanation actions not lengthened the recession.
