When the Man Behind the Brand is a Woman . . .

DryerBuzz.com — Women hold the purse strings.  From family savings to household spending, the economy and its recovery is right now dependent on the tight grips of women.  “All over this country, every day, women are making extraordinary efforts to improve their lives and the lives of others,” remarked Dr. Jill Biden to the Women’s Leadership Forum Issues Conference held in Washington DC in May (2010).  Dr Biden’s remarks were echoed by First Lady Michelle Obama on the leadership of women, “we all know that when you need something done, and you ask women to do it, it gets done.  End of story.”

At DryerBuzz.com, we decided to continue the conversation started by Dr. Biden and First Lady Obama.  We have and continue to launch initiatives as well as revise our editorial to reflect this new dedication more prominently in our daily headlines and social interactions.

We declare Wednesday as Buzz4Women Day at DryerBuzz.com where www is What Women What. We invite you to join us for an afternoon chat and twinterviews with women we look to follow in their footsteps. Using twitter and the tags #Buzz4Women or #b4w (to save characters), follow the buzz in real time or enjoy the transcripts later.

Wednesday September 1st at 2PM ET, we’re Unmasking Success: When the Man Behind the Brand is a Woman with @digitalsista Shireen Mitchell of www.shireenmitchell.com.

Watch The President’s Address Live with Player Below or visit www.WhiteHouse.gov

THE PRESIDENT:  Good evening.  Tonight, I’d like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home.I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans.  We’ve now been through nearly a decade of war.  We’ve endured a long and painful recession.  And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we’re trying to build for our nation — a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity — may seem beyond our reach.

But this milestone should serve as a reminder to all Americans that the future is ours to shape if we move forward with confidence and commitment.  It should also serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century.

From this desk, seven and a half years ago, President Bush announced the beginning of military operations in Iraq.  Much has changed since that night.  A war to disarm a state became a fight against an insurgency.  Terrorism and sectarian warfare threatened to tear Iraq apart.  Thousands of Americans gave their lives; tens of thousands have been wounded.  Our relations abroad were strained.  Our unity at home was tested.
