Well, I found the study he talks about. It's from 1997. I didn't realize that would be considered "recent".

It was a nationally broadcast study that was heavily covered in the news, which I had no problem at all finding. If you look up the Fair Pay Act, referenced in that blurb, you can also find the details.

Compared to this CNS data, that I cannot find anywhere.

That's not the study. The pay rates discussed were from the US Census, and a Bureau of Labor report. The same reports come out every year.

So again, a pass from the Obamatons.

Be sure the next time he raises the issue to DEMAND he break those numbers down and they are verifiable.

I'd like to know how many of Obama's staffers are gay, lesbian , bisexual, transsexual, and polymaths.

McCain, an Arizona senator, employed a total of 69 people during the reporting period ending in the fall of 2007, but 23 of them were interns. Of his non-intern employees, 30 were women and 16 were men. After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain's staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain's office, by comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83.
What! Women paid more on McCain's staff?

They are broken down and verifiable, as per my previous post.

The CNS numbers are not.

Write Obama then and tell him to break his numbers down, job for job, exactly, to determine your truth.

The truth is; Obama says one thing and does another - again.

Did you see clinton's and McCain's numbers?

Quite a difference compared to Obama.

Just make sure you apply the same exacting standard from now on, even though it's a load of BS. Nice spin, though. Good try.

The real scandal here is that a U.S. senator has a staff of 64. I guess that's what government types mean by full employment.

There is no spin. CNS wrote the article without providing a link to verifiable information. If I could locate the report CNS is referencing, the information could possibly be there, but they did not.

If they are the one making the claim, why should I have to contact Obama to verify the statistics they reference, yet don't link to? First rule of reporting is to always cite your sources, and they did not.
