Obama is starting to have a real problem with a lack of women in his cabinet. Maybe Jay Carney can call one of the Hillary Rosen's he knows?

Rumor has it Solis quit because Obama keeps hiring white dudes all around her.

Solis' departure diminishes the diversity of the president's Cabinet by another woman and a Latina.

They’re dropping like flies over there. Paging Human Resources!
So. Who does Obama nominate to replace Hilda Solis? Thoughts @mark_greenbaum?
— Jason Levin (@JasonLevin) January 9, 2013
Who’s it gonna be?
Obama may as well cut to the chase and nominate Richard Trumka as labor secretary this time.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 9, 2013
Now that Solis is gone, Obama can nominate his ideal Labor Secretary … Richard Trumka.

Now there’s a winning team.
Secretary Solis will no doubt be missed:

MT @JxhnBinder: as hilda solis resigns, let's remember how much of a corruptocrat she is. @michellemalkin reports: http://t.co/ACmsfKu5

Solis' main accomplishment at DoL was to reduce unions' transparency.

That’s quite a legacy.

The White House has confirmed her departure:
Pres Obama says Hilda Solis leaving her post as Labor Secretary. He says she's been "a critical member of my economic team."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 9, 2013
More from Solis’ resignation letter:
In a letter to Labor Dept personnel, Solis says she's "decided to begin a new future, and return to the people and places I love."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 9, 2013
As the product of "a large Mexican-American family," writes Solis, "I never imagined that I would…serve in a president’s Cabinet."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 9, 2013
But fear not, diversity-defenders!
Carney says Pres Obama committed to diversity. WH puts out word that Sebelius (HHS), Shinseki & Holder will remain in their Cebinet posts.
