Political Punch

I like this guy.

My first thought is sarcastic, as in, we know McCain likes pretty young women (Cindy,Sarah) and isn't above spending a fortune on them, (Wardrobe, make up) but in all fairness, there needs to be a job and location comparison for this to make any sense. McCain's headquarters is in Alexandria, one of the most expensive places in the country to live or work, so salaries will be much higher. He is also paying his male counter parts more than Obama.

Well JB...here's the problem with your post. Obama is a Columbia (NY) graduate. Received academic scholarships to attend. Attended Harvard and graduated with honors.

Where did Dems get his/her information-NO ONE has seen his Columbia record or his LCAT score to enter Harvard Law.

Interesting. The Democrats have spun their political rhetoric to make us all think they are the party of equality. What a farce!
I also just read an article that talked about the major cities with the highest poverty rates. Guess what? They have all be led by Democrats for more than 30 years. Now that's change we can believe in. LOL! When will people wake up?

JB writes, "You can give him a Harvard degree through Affirmative Action, but he won't forget an early lesson his daddy taught him: it's ok to abandon your women."

I have always felt the best way to predict what a person will do is to see what that have done in the past. It is easy to talk about how you will change things, but look at what they have really done in the past. Again, Obama is talking the big talk, but what has he done. I hope people look at what he has done and not get caught up in his rhetoric.

I see Michelle Obama is a Senior Advisor. Is she paid? Also, does this mean that we have another "two for the price of one" administration? We've already gone down this road. No more.

That sexist pig Obama is at it again.

You can give him a Harvard degree through Affirmative Action, but he won't forget an early lesson his daddy taught him: it's ok to abandon your women.

AND WHAT DID MCCAIN'S DAD TEACH HIM THAT LED HIM TO ABONDON HIS FIRST WIFE FOR CINDY??? HE PROBABLY TOLD HIM TO GO FOR THE MONEY.

So why doesn't McCain believe the rest of the countries women deserve to be paided equally?

McCain/Palin all the way to defeat. Even The News Hour with Jim Lehrer comment group says it will be a tight race with Obama the winner. After the debates there will be no longer any contest.

The same pay for the same work at
the same level of performance.

That's the principle.

Two staffers, one man one woman,
may hold identical job titles and
job descriptions.

If one meets requirements and the
other consistently exceeds
requirements, the better performer
should get more money.

Fair comparisons should include
performance evaluations of the
employees as well.

The truth here is the opposite of what it seems.

When a senator runs for president, s/he takes the BEST staff from the Senate office and puts them on the campaign, leaving the more mediocre staff to run the Senate office.

Obama obviously considered more women to be his BEST advisors and put them on his campaign staff, leaving the more mediocre staff, at lower salaries, in his Senate office.

Two points -

As others have said, the point is equal pay for equal work. There is nothing in the article that says this hasn't occurred on Obama's staff.

This workplace inequality DOES OCCUR today throughout the country. Which of the two candidates has talked about it being an issue that needs fixing? Obama. Which of the two candidates do I trust more to improve this inequality? Obama.

McCAIN/PALIN ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!

Ve-ry in-ter-esting. McCain pays his female staffers well and has plenty of them. He's obviously comfortable working with strong women. I like that in a man. *G*

Oh, and I'm waiting for Jake to post something about that lovely new Obama ad mocking McCain for not sending emails. As magazine and newspaper articles going back for several years make clear, the man CAN NOT TYPE because of his disabilities from his POW years. He communicates through email at times, with Cindy or someone else doing the actual typing for him. Everyone has been so quick to jump on Mcain ads of late, let's see if they are equally condemnatory of this offensive ad.

(For the record, I'm tired of the McCain Palin ads that fuss about the rude treatment Palin has been getting-- suck it up, gang. She can handle it, and we don't need to play the victim. The american public can see what's going on without any help from weak ads like that.)

Better yet, how much does Michelle Obama make? Do campaign contributions pay for this? Is she still getting her salary from her "day job?" Can you find out, Jake?

He is going to have a inverted pyramid organization. Yep that is "Change". Too many senior folks and very few people who actually work and I assume that the ratio of senior people to people who actually work may be 10:1. ( And, senior staff will go and give lecture in universities and tell the kid how they reached there and how Obama is a great guy and mark Present or Not voted)

A liberal not practicing what he preaches? Is that a newsflash to anyone?

Obama-Biden want equal pay for equal work bills for women, but are unwilling to pay equal unless forced to do so.

McCain freely pays women more than men, and doesn't try to legislate it.
