President Obama to Mika: You prove women are the better half

If you watched the show this morning, you saw the Morning Joe panel at their home away from home in the D.C.

If you watched the show this morning, you saw the Morning Joe panel at their home away from home in the D.C. bureau.

Joe and Mika were down there for today's White House forum on women and the economy.

So they did the show, and then headed over for the event.

Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls (and Morning Joe regular) Valerie Jarrett delivered the opening remarks.

When President Obama delivered his remarks, Mika got a special thanks "for helping moderate today and proving that on your show every morning, that women really are the better half."

The crowd applauded the president.

And...of course...Joe was sitting next to Mika.

"Joe's not denying it," the president joked.

Happy Friday, everyone!
