Obama's hypocrisy on equal pay for equal work


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.
*Among Obama's 5 best-paid advisers, only 1 was a woman. Among his top 20, only 7 were women.

But McCain actually pays his female Senate staff more than the males:
McCain's 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.
*Among his top-5 best-compensated staffers, 3 are women. Of his 20-highest-salaried employees, 13 are women.

So let's summarize.

Obama employs fewer women, and of the women he employs, only 1 is part of his five highest paid staffers. On top of that, Obama pays the women he does employ quite a bit less than he pays the men who work for him.

On the other hand, McCain employs quite a few women, and of the women he employs, 3 of them comprise his five highest paid staffers. Additionally, McCain pays the women he employs more than he pays the men who work for him.

**OH, and Lets not forget which man actually put a WOMAN on his ticket...
