Obama is fucking Lilly Ledbetter up the ass in the White House, and you libtards want to whine about binders?he was asked a fairly simple question about what his position was on the ledbetter law. he went into a diatribe about how he had binders of women brought to him and then went on to talk about women needing flex time.
i'm sorry... what part of that does someone like you actually think means he supports legislation assuring equal pay for equal work?
It really was awkward when he answered that question in that manner...
because it really shouldn't have been so difficult for him to say "of course i support equal pay for equal work"
the fact that he couldn't spoke volumes.
Obama's record on paying women White House aides not stellar - Washington Times
But President Obama's own record on closing the gender pay gap is less than stellar. Using late 2011 figures, the latest available at the time, The Washington Times earlier this year surveyed 121 White House employees who were paid at least $100,000 and found that 47 were women and 74 were men. That is only slightly better than in 2003, the third year of the Bush administration, when 39 of the top 121 employees were women.
When all White House employees are considered, the Obama administration's record dims a bit further. Female employees earn a median salary of $60,000, roughly 18 percent less than men, whose median salary is $71,000.
And statistics don't tell the whole story. Despite progress on closing pay disparities and hiring women for senior roles, the president has incurred persistent criticism that women in his White House for the most part are kept out of the inner circle.
