Hypocrite in Chief

The Weekly Standard posted the photo below with the text:
...[January 8, 2013's] White House photo of the day...includes 3 women and 5 men, not including President Obama himself.

The title of the January 9 Weekly Standard article is: "White House Trots Out Women Advisors in Latest Pic."

The photo has the following text:
"President Barack Obama meets with senior advisors in the Oval Office, Jan. 8, 2013. Attending, from left, are: Kathryn Ruemmler, Counsel to the President; Mike Froman, Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics; Chief of Staff Jack Lew; Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett; Counselor to the President Pete Rouse; Nancy-Ann DeParle, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy; Senior Advisor David Plouffe; and Director of Communications Dan Pfeiffer. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)," the caption reads.
The White house "trotted out" the women after the New York Times posted its own version of Obama's cabinet on January 8, with the photo (posted below), from the New York Times article:
Obama’s Remade Inner Circle Has an All-Male Look, So Far

The caption to the photo reads:
President Obama on Dec. 29 with senior advisers in the Oval Office. The only woman facing the president was (look very closely) Valerie Jarrett, whose leg is just visible in front of the desk.
Even the formidable leftist New York Times is not happy with Obama.
