Equal Pay Icon Rallies for Obama. Attendees Unaware of Pay Disparity at White House.

By: Ben Howe (Diary)  |  August 22nd, 2012 at 09:25 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Lilly Ledbetter is the namesake of the first bill signed by President Obama back in 2009, The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. The purpose of this act was supposedly to make it easier for women in the workforce to file discrimination lawsuits and demand equal pay for equal work.

So pleased with Obama is Mrs. Ledbetter, that she decided to rally on his behalf recently in Colorado, along with DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Apparently Ledbetter neglected to mention that the same White House she’s rallying on behalf of has its own issues with pay equality. Luckily, Caleb Bonham of Revealing Politics was there to let them know.

    Come on, Caleb, I just had fresh, hot-baked pears with my awesome breakfast of baked trout and scrambled eggs with japs and onion – and now you’re giving me all kinds of bad imagery.

    What’s for Din Din?

    {MM-mmm….}

    don’t think she ever rock & rolled much…

    At least this time it’s just money. Last time it was the president who was a multiply-accused rapist and known womanizer who cheated on his wife, yet who somehow managed to be the darling of the feminist set. And let’s not ever forget “Waitress Sandwich” Kennedy.

    Hm., come to think of it, perhaps it’s just the feminists who don’t make sense.

    They do not want more money, they just want more “free” sex and abortions to kill their unwanted babies…..

      Perhaps she is otherwise compensated like Monica, only Obama’s name is Bill, nor Peter, but a puffer in the White House circle, might not care.

        “Obama’s name ISN’T Bill, it should have read.

    already suggested women are disadvantaged and Time magazine has the quotes. I loaded a diary a while back with this issue which includes several good sources.

    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).

    In a 2011 article titled ?The White House Boys? Club: President Obama Has a Woman Problem,? TIME magazine?s Amy Sullivan detailed the president?s fondness for male-dominated environments.

    The technical foul over the all-male game has become a nagging concern for a White House that has battled an impression dating to the presidential campaign that Mr. Obama?s closest advisers form a boys? club and that he is too frequently in the company of only men ? not just when playing sports, but also when making big decisions.
