Obama no longer stands for yuur enumerated (2.00 / 2)

issues: i.e. women's issues: he pays his female staff an average of $10,000 less, does not want abortions for women who suffer mental distress, he's against universal or mandated health care for adults which women use the most, etc., etc., etc....

Fail troll (1.40 / 5)

please list all his campaign workers and their jobs.

also, Mental distress and mental disorder or disease are different things.  By mental distress it means that a month before birth you decide you just don't want the baby, which is not a reason for abortion.  I know you are just a troll, but telling small parts of something just makes you look like the troll you are.

The difference in salaries report, as I understand it, comes from a PUMA site, not a credible news organization. Am I right? I could not find it reported in ANY credible news organization.

And, if it were true, that would be absolutely meaningless without further information.

Once again, it appears people don't understand the concept of "average." If there was one lower paid woman who is, say a receptionist, among a larger group of professional staff, that would bring down the average for women as a whole, but it would say NOTHING about commitment to equal pay.

Yep.  Take a room of men and women with equal salaries; if Bill Gates walks into the room, the average income of the males becomes a hell of a lot higher.  That's why average is not a good measure of these things.

You cite broad averages that do not (2.00 / 1)

represent pay for duties, responsibilities, etc.
Since Sen. Obama is a relatively new senator, his staff should be paid less, due to seniority.
Cite more than sweeping generalizations.
