When women become CEOs, it not because of merit, its because the companies want to create a Public image of Equal Opportunities even if it had to put quality aside.

Just because a CEO has breast tissue, really does not make a difference to how they will perform. People are equal ^^

We saw the item on your blog and are shocked to see that you took Ms. Nooyi's comments to be anything but pro-American and supportive of the United States and its role as a global leader. The characterization of Ms. Nooyi's remarks could not be more off the mark. No one is prouder of the U.S. than Ms. Nooyi, who has elected to make this country her home. Ms. Nooyi was simply encouraging the U.S, and Americans to be all they can and should be, which is something we all strive towards. In her remarks Ms. Nooyi stated: This analogy of the five fingers as the five major continents leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and, in particular, The United States. As the longest of the fingers, it really stands out. The middle finger anchors every function that the hand performs and is the key to all the fingers working together efficiently and effectively. This is a really good thing, and has given the U.S. a leg-up in global business since the end of World War 1... This land we call home is a most-loving, and ever-giving nation -a 'promised land' that we love dearly in return. And it represents a true force that - if used for good - can steady the hand - along with global economies and cultures. We encourage you to set the record straight and explain that Ms. Nooyi was talking to the students about the necessity of working together in the world."

"I have come to realize that my words and examples about America unintentionally depicted our country negatively and hurt people....I love America unshakably," Nooyi said."
