Obama caught lying again- Interest to Women (salaries, campaign, Barack Obama)

[smd1998]

Barack Obama keeps telling us that he is for equal pay for equal work.

Fact is he has said this
“I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.”

He also talked about women having the same chance to be paid equally to men.

Well, turns out, in his own US Senate office he pays women far less then the men.

In Obama's office the average man makes 54,397.00 ( 28 men employees )
and the women, 45,152 ( 30 women employees )

Just to compare, McCain's women employees earned 55,878.

So the "I am for equal pay for equal work" line is just a lie or he does not practice what he preaches.

I wonder if the men are holding a higher position and hence higher pay?

[tluv00]

Yeah but built into Mccain's womens salary is the right to ogle, pinch, make crude jokes and rub up against.

A source would be nice as well as information about said employees.

Can you post all of his employees resume's so can we can analyze them and come up with our own conclusion?

If you don't have these details yourself then your post in itself is a big FAT LIE.

Stop lying to people to help your candidate.

It's pathetic already.

A source would me nice.
All people in an office do not do the same thing. I'm sure there are clerks secretaries ect who might be on a lower scale. Maybe he has hired more women in those positions.
There is no current data out there.

And what do McCain's men get paid? The issue is not equal pay for all, it is equal pay for the same job. When you have that comparison, come on back.

McCains pays his men 53,936.00, less then his lady employees.

So women can only be clerks or secretaries? Is that what you are saying?

McCain believes in equal pay for equal work, Obama does not.

Of Obamas top 20 advisers, only 4 are women.

But yet his wife rakes in 351,000.00 per year in a non profit hospital. Go figure.

Out of McCain's advisors, 7 are lobbyists.


Like everyone else says, show us some kind of link, a news story, something, that compares jobs. It just depends on who's working harder, and it happens to be that in Obama's perticular campaign, he has more men doing the job the best, earning their way up the ranks, and McCain has more women doing the same thing! By your logic, McCain is reverse-sexist.

I'm still waiting for a source.

In addition, the salaries of the Senators (and their wives) are irrelevant. These people are federal civil servants and are on either the GS scale or the Payband (but I think the GS scale) which is standardized.

Human Resources decides what people make and federal supervisors have little sway because of the standardization (I'm telling you this from experience).

If his employees are getting paid less that's an issue of Human Resources not the Senator.

But still, for arguments sake, provide a source.
