Obama trumpets fewer men graduating college

By Donald Sensing

Obama: 25% fewer male graduates than female graduates is a great accomplishment « Wintery Knight:
From CNS News.

Excerpt:
In an op-ed published Saturday in Newsweek, President Barack Obama marked the 40th anniversary of the enactment of Title IX–which bars gender discrimination in education—and noted that more women in the United States are now graduating from college than men, which he characterized as “a great accomplishment” for the nation.
“In fact, more women as a whole now graduate from college than men,”Obama wrote. “This is a great accomplishment—not just for one sport or one college or even just for women but for America. And this is what Title IX is all about.”
According to the Census Bureau, 685,000 men and 916,000 women graduated from college in 2009 (the latest year for which statistics have been published). That means 25 percent fewer men received college degrees than women.

And then women look around and wonder why they can't find a man they consider suitable for marriage.
