Obama pays his female staffers less than his male staffers.

Who has the issue with equal pay?

Both of them obviously but let's be honest. Is Obama actually setting the salaries for WH employees? At least the guy signed the Ledbetter Law into effect but obviously it's up to the female staffers to sue.

I know the Right likes to keep things simple, but you do realize that, without a more detailed analysis than Fox is offering, that assertion is totally meaningless, right? ()

Romney is trying to apply the Karl Rove tactic of attacking an opponent's strengths, and is basically $&@&$ing it up. Get used to it, because this level of incompetence will mark Romney's campaign, and, if he wins (), his presidency.

Next, Romney will claim that, by recklessly killing Osama Bin Laden, Obama has destroyed the ability of our intelligence community to track his where-abouts!

Obama also referred to female reporters during his 2008 campaigns as 'honey' and 'sweetie'. I think Mr. Obama has some issues with considering women as his equal.

It is crucial to Romney's chances this fall, to try to make up ground with women voters. Since his party's policy platform is HOSTILE to women's interests, he has to try to erode Obama's high standing with women instead.

So far, his efforts have been notably ineffective.

Now, you may be right- Obama may be the biggest sexist pig who ever lived. He may be demeaning and condescending to females, and he may underpay the ones on his staff.

But that is NOT the jacket Obama wears- quite the opposite in fact. And the evidence the Right has offered so far is laughable.

So, if Team Romney is going to swift boat Obama as hostile to women's rights... they are going to have to lie a lot more effectively.

I'm sure Rove is giving them pointers.
