As discussed last week on this form, President Obama likes to keep the thermostat on the high side, wasting all that energy generated, primarily, by (evil) coal and/or (evil) nuclear. Most media outlets have somehow missed this.
Now, we have yet another example of the president?s duplicity. Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last week. Its goal is to prevent pay discrimination based on gender in the workplace. But CNSNews.com reports this inconvenient little fact:
Women who worked on Obama?s Senate staff last year ? were themselves paid on average 78 cents for every dollar a man was paid, according to data last year from the Report of the Secretary of the Senate.
The data, analyzed by CNSNews.com, showed that in the period from Oct. 1, 2007, through March 31, 2008, Obama paid women on his Senate staff an annual average salary of $44,953.21. That was $12,472 less than the $57,425 average annual salary that then-Sen. Obama paid men.
Darn those statistics.
