Liberal hypocrisy at its finest

[James Ridgely]

I love how, when George W. Bush misspeaks, he's an "idiot"....but when Joe Biden misspeaks, "it shows that he's human."

JR, I'm so glad you brought up the topic of hypocrisy. Barack Obama on equal pay for women:

And here's what Barack Obama actually pays the women on his staff (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/378772_murdockonline12.html):

Based on these calculations, Obama's 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama's average male employee earned $54,397.

Obama's 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.

Why this disparity? One reason may be the under-representation of women in Obama's highest-compensated ranks. Among Obama's five best-paid advisors, only one was a woman. Among his top 20, seven were women.

Again, on average, Obama's female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. This figure certainly exceeds the 77-cent threshold that Obama's campaign website condemns. However, 83 cents do not equal $1. In spite of this 17-cent gap between Obama's rhetoric and reality, he chose to chide GOP presidential contender John McCain on this issue.

Oops.

I almost forgot! This is what John McCain pays his staffers:


Obama's criticism notwithstanding, McCain's payment patterns are the stuff of feminist dreams.

McCain's 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.

On average, according to these data, women in John McCain's office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes. In fact, all other things being equal, a typical female staffer could earn 21 cents more per dollar paid to her male counterpart -- while adding $10,726 to her annual income -- by leaving Barack Obama's office and going to work for John McCain.


SHAKE AND BAKE!!! Yeah - That. Just. Happened.

Very interesting:

This is a big issue for my wife - I will forward these stats to her :)
