There is no stronger advocate for the equal pay movement than Senator Obama. Senator Obama strongly supported the most recent attempt to pass the Equal Pay Act ( Ledbetter: Equal Pay Act Fails), and he has often been guilty of promoting the fallacy that woman make less money than men while performing the same job (The Myth of Equal Pay ). But how does Obama really feel about the issue?
With all of Obama's talk, he does not practice what he preaches:
Obama: Less pay for female staff members
Note that the female staffers at Senator John McCain's campaign make more than their male counterparts on average. Funny we didn't hear about this story from the mainstream media; I guess it must not be a big deal. It would only be a big deal if the candidate was a Republican.
I look forward to the excuses and "logical" reasons for this discrepancy; of course they will only be valid for Democratic applications. Go figure.
