After co-hosting “Morning Joe” this morning, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski headed to the White House where she helped moderate a Women and the Economy forum. MSNBC and CNN both took live remarks from Pres. Obama at the gathering who gave a shout-out to Brzezinski, calling her the “better half” of “Morning Joe.”

I want to thank Mika for helping moderate this morning and for proving on your show that women are the better half. (applause) Joe’s not denying it. He’s not denying it.
