With all the focus on Mitt Romney's so-called woman problem, the other side of the gender gap has been completely ignored.  As resident pot stirrer Mike Murphy tweets:

Obama's Gender Gap

How do we explain Obama's man problem?

JWH: He strikes me as somebody who:

1)  Has never changed a flat tire;

2) Has never cleaned a firearm after shooting one;

3) Has never been in a fight on the school playground;

4) Is in his first real job since graduating from high school;

5) Drinks Fuzzy Navels; · 4 minutes ago

The interesting thing is that the first three points probably apply to Mitt as well (I could of course be wrong.) Good thing it's Mitt vs. Obama and not Mitt vs. Ron Swanson. ·

You know he grew up obsessed with cars? Being keen on tinkering with them and having a penchant for long car journeys  makes me think that his design side fascination probably carried over into some practical work.

I don't know about 2, or about 3; I know about his fighting as a missionary in France (not very successfully), though.

On this scale, against his not having cleaned a gun, you have a stellar score on jobs held; you name an industry and he's got his hands grubby (often literally) familiarizing himself with it.

His not drinking girl alcohol, or man alcohol, probably doesn't help.

Just because all here are to dignified to bring this up, cannot picture this guy in a simple fistfight. Bet he hits like a girl....

Now that means something in the identification process for men, likely women as well

Obama doesn't have a man problem..........He has a testicular fortitude problem.

Why it matters one way and not the other: Since 2000 women have cast an average of 7.5 million more votes then men. They rule the house, the bed and the ballot box.

People insist on continuing to called the President "likeable".  I find him the least likeable President since Carter--arrogant, narcissistic, pedantic, self-absorbed, and shamelessly mendacious.  I'd much rather have a beer with George Bush than Obama any day.

I'm a guy, so I guess I'm part of the 6% !

He is simply a pathetic excuse for a man.  There is nothing even remotely manly about him.  Even to call him metrosexual would be far too generous. 

But the women, whats up with that?  We need to find Obama Girl and get to the bottom of this attraction!

I liked what they had to say about the "war on women" on Thursday's edition of the Coffee and Markets Podcast.

He isn't one.  That's his man problem.
