Why does Obama hate women?

Hostile Workplace
Obama White House pays women less than men, records show

Female employees in the Obama White House make considerably less than their male colleagues, records show.

According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).

Calculating the median salary for each gender required some assumptions to be made based on the employee names. When unclear, every effort was taken to determine the appropriate gender.

The Obama campaign on Wednesday lashed out at presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney for his failure to immediately endorse the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, a controversial law enacted in 2009 that made it easier to file discrimination lawsuits.

President Obama has frequently criticized the gender pay gap, such as the one that exists in White House.

“Paycheck discrimination hurts families who lose out on badly needed income,” he said in a July 2010 statement. “And with so many families depending on women’s wages, it hurts the American economy as a whole.”

It is not known whether any female employees at the White House have filed lawsuits under the Ledbetter Act.

Add to that the fact that Obama doesn't care about real life issues women are facing such as gas and grocery prices instead of $9.00 contraceptives, and I'd say Obama is the one waging a war on women, not Republicans.

How is the statistics done?

There are more women in the, say recruiting department, which has a lower salary than the war department, which has more men.

Hence if you compare the mean of all men with all women, you are a loophole from which only politics can profit.

I think it shows the inherent flaws in the stats commonly used to demonstrate pay inequity.

Just like the Republican "war on women." It doesn't exist.

Hello wingers:

The PROOF that there IS a right wing war on women, is the charge that Obama is waging war on women... Which is, of course, laughable.

By the way, if Romney is looking out for women, how come, at a conference call HE arranged to let women know how much HE supported them, he had NO position on the Lilly Ledbetter Act?? How come that happened? Can you splain that??

If this is the case then the obvious question is why did you post this Red Herring in the first place?

Really, Tut? Why aren't you asking the others why they're promoting this mythical "Republican war on women"? Or are you?

I would be happy to do so but I need to know why Walker signed the Bill.
You keep telling me it is redundant. But why did he sign it? Was he pushed into it, did he do it because he thought it should be policy?

Basically because as governor he has a choice to sign or veto what the legislature gives him. They passed a bill, he signed. Regardless, that's just the latest accusation in this mythical "war on women." Have you missed all the previous discussions such the outrage over the Virginia ultrasound bill that allegedly constitutes rape in the minds of the left? Ex has mentioned it at least a couple dozen times.

Speaking of the left's "war on women," CNN's Hilery Rosen doesn't believe a stay at home mother of five who has survived cancer and battles MS can relate to women's issues. To quote Jim Treacher's snarky response...

If you’re a stay-at-home mom, Democrat strategist Hilary Rosen would like you to shut up and make her a sandwich

tomder55 · Apr 12, 2012, 11:46 AM

Yeah.. the Dems are at war with motherhood.

Nothing wrong with being filthy rich and staying home with the kids and a bunch of nannies. I wish I had that option.

She explained it well. That website headline is the worst piece of misrepresenting crap I've read in a while. You believe that??

Hello again, Steve:

Here's the difference. First off, she's NOT a Democratic strategist. She doesn't work for the Democrats or the Obama campaign. She's an unpaid pundit for CNN.

Next, everybody from the president on down has apologized for her remark INCLUDING Rosen herself.

But, even if all that didn't happen... You've got ONE pundit, who has NO power with ANYBODY making a stupid remark, against a YEARLONG long assault against women from the most powerful men in the country.. Not, ONE of 'em has apologized. Instead, they (you) DENY what they're doing..

It don't stack up. I can't believe you went for this okee doak..

Just another media beatup ex

tomder55 · Apr 13, 2012, 02:02 AM

She is not just a media pundit . She is a Dem strategist working for the Dems in various functions. The White House logs show that she has been inside the White House 35 times... more often than many of Obama's top cabinet officers ,including David Petraeus who was both CentCom chief and currently the Director of CIA.

the liberal view of women has been exposed.

Women who espouse family values and live them in the hardest of jobs are shunned, while partying Georgetown coeds are praised by those who think providing free contraceptives is what the Founding Fathers meant by "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Gee, only her apology counts? Rush apologized, did that count? When will Maher apologize for his misogyny, or are you going to defend him because he's "just a comedian?"

P.S I can't deny something that doesn't exist. There is no Republican war on women.
