Where are the women??

President Obama is rolling out several top picks for his new cabinet this week, including former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense and counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan as CIA director, and Jack Lew for the Treasury Department. 


Where are the women??


Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi King has appointed the first women to the consultative council. 

Via Bloomberg...


The appointments, reported by the official Saudi Press Agency, came after Abdullah issued a decree requiring at least 20 percent of members should be women. It says they must observe Islamic law and be properly covered, and will enjoy full rights in the council, have a separate entrance to the chamber and sit in a special section apart from men.
