Hey Bill Maher: How About Barack Obama's War on Women?

Potty-mouthed "comedian" Bill Maher may think he's helping his pal Barack Obama by obscenely trashing conservative women, but the economic numbers just aren't working out for the Democratic duo ... or women.

Maher's "jokes" aside, serious sources like the Department of Labor Statistics and the Pew Research Center report:

-- Since Obama took office, the unemployment rate for women has increased from 7 percent to 8.3 percent.

-- During the so-called "recovery," women have gained less than 8 percent of the 1.9 million jobs added (gross).

-- The so-called recovery is the first since 1970 in which women have lost jobs even as men have gained them.

-- The poverty rate among women rose to 14.5 percent last year, up from 13.9 percent in 2009. That was the highest rate in 17 years.

In light of the foregoing hard numbers, Maher's ranting is about as funny and politically courageous as a routine by Kim Jong Un's court jesters. (Apologies to Mark Steyn.)
