In an excerpt obtained by The Post, a female senior aide to President Obama called the White House a hostile environment for women.

“This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,” former White House communications director Anita Dunn is quoted as saying. “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”

Dunn declined to discuss the specifics of the book. But in an interview Friday she said she told Suskind “point blank” that the White House “was not a hostile environment.”

“The president is someone who when he goes home at night he goes home to house full of very strong women,” Dunn added. “He values having strong women around him.”

...anything for book sales.

Is Suskind really trying to convince people that the President who appointed women to head the State, Homeland Security and Health departments, who elevated the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations to a cabinet-level position and appointed Susan Rice to fill it, who has nominated more women to the courts and who created the Council on Women and Girls has created a "hostile environment for women"?
