Why did Obama only call on women reporters for questions? This is why.....

While Obama only formally called on women, two men were able to yell out their own questions during the conference.

“Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?” one asked, while a reporter called after Obama as he left the room. “Will you smoke a cigar Mr. President?”

.......................

At his last presser 3 weeks ago Obama only called on the men and one woman all from the major networks.
