After getting the requisite laughter, Mr. Obama moved on to the main thrust of the event, to commend the accomplishments and challenges facing women.
Mr. and Mrs. Obama held a short ceremony at the White House to honor women, with Mr. Obama promising to keep supporting efforts to empower women in the United States and around the world.
Surrounded by all manner of women for the East Room event (the “American Idol” crooner Katherine McPhee, the actress Kerry Washington, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright), Mr. Obama took particular note of his secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, commending her for putting “millions of cracks in America’s glass ceiling.”
Mr. Obama spoke of his own daughters, Sasha and Malia. “I think about the world that they, and all of America’s daughters, will inherit,” he said. “And I think about all of the opportunities that are still beyond reach for too many young women and too many of our brothers and sisters — too many of our sisters and mothers and aunts, all of the glass ceilings that have yet to be shattered.”
