Obama/Biden and their surrogates have attacked McCain as against pay equity for women since Sarah Palin was named to the ticket. There are all kinds of reasons why pay equity legislation has been faulty in the past, so instead of looking at them on their soapboxes, how about you look at their actual practices. The best way to judge someone’s character and values is to see how they act when they think no one is looking.
The Sen. Barack Obama campaign is under performing with women, especially older white ones. So, it released a list of female surrogates that will be his force on issues that are important to those women voters — like equal pay. There also will soon be an ad released that will hit Sen. John McCain on the touchy issue of equal pay.
According to McCain-Palin spokesman Brian Rogers, that is a problem for Barack Obama, since he is the one that pays his females staffers less than the men.
Rogers points to Senate Records showing that women working in Sen. Obama’s senate office were paid an average of $9,000 less than men.
It appears that in the McCain senate office, the women on average are paid more than the men.
“Barack Obama says he’s for equal pay for women, but women working in his Senate office earn an average of $9,000 less than men. By contrast, women in John McCain’s Senate office actually earn an average of nearly $2,000 more than men. The American people understand that real leadership for the change we need is all about what you do, not just empty words.” — McCain-Palin spokesman Brian Rogers
Once again it appears Barack Obama says one thing, but his actions prove something else. Once again, John McCain comes out on top.
