How did President Obama know that Crowley had the transcript...he said “look at the transcript.” She had it on her desk and looked and confirmed his lie. The whole exchange was staged, rehearsed and set up.
Other rehearsed set-ups include the question on women receiving only 72% of men’s pay. That is a canard based on women who leave the workforce to have and raise children and then are rehired, say 15 years later,at a lower pay than the man who has moved up over 15 years. Duh!
” - - - women who leave the workforce to have and raise children and then are rehired - - - “
Great point!
In order for the child-rearing parent (man or woman) to be “given” equal pay, the non child-rearing parent would have to have been held back so the other parent could be paid the same at the time of re-entry into the workforce.
If one is paid by experience, knowledge and skills then equality based on skin color or sex is just coincidental from employee to employee.
At the present time our society is still recovering from biases whose counter actions have been labeled as “rights” : civil, women’s, illegal alien’s; healthcare, student’s, etc, etc, etc.
Politicians always gravitate to the areas of maximum chaos, and do their best to keep chaos going for longer than the careers of their descendants.
Hence, we have infinite Federal Government Spending, infinite Federal Government Taxation, and my personal favorite: infinite Federal Fairness, whereby all people on the Federal Welfare Entitlement Plantation are EXACTLY equal, except the Plantation Politicians, of course, who are ALWAYS more equal than the rest of us.
