This is unreal, while others are either looking for work or get meager or no salary raises this is what is going on in the Obama admin. The liberals should be real proud of this.

Default So, what's to be outraged about?

From your own cite:
Quote:
19 of the 21 staffers listed also received new job titles...
Newsflash: People who get promoted get higher paychecks. There's a reason those 20 or so were picked among the 450-person staff.

And frankly, I'm surprised they're not paid better. I make more than most on that list, and when I scr*w up, it doesn't reflect on the administration of a nation with 300 million. What's the White House supposed to do - drive down to the Home Depot and pick up a few day laborers to be Chief of Staff for the Office of Legislative Affairs?

And no, low-six-figures doesn't even get you close to 1%.

"Occupy" the White House. After all, there are only squatters living there in the first place.

Me thinks he saw, "White House staffers" and "pay raise" and ran with it. The only class warfare that counts is the class warfare within the middle class. The real 1% are giggling their a$$es off right now.

I'm referring to their multi-million dollar salaries!
