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

And these surrogates are out there insisting that man who has had cancer is unfit to serve. That a man with service related disabilities is unfit to serve.
So much for Obama’s women surrogates.
Add that to his pay structure for women and we see who is lying, big time.
Wow ~ intere$ting fact. McCain women actually make MORE! “;^)
Isn’t that the real difference in the two campaigns?
Obama makes promises he has never kept.
McCain makes promises he has already put into effect.
Obama-Biden - the idiots that keep on giving.
Good point, but why isn’t it made in an ad buy that covers everywhere The One is making his hypocritical ad buys?
And who defines equal work? If I crank out the same number of words as Salena, does that mean I get the same paycheck? How do you apply an assembly line piece rate concept to a knowledge worker?
Glad this is being picked up.

Obama’s female staffers shortchanged
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2081482/posts
Obama gives short shrift to seniors, especially white women. They don’t “text”.
With O it’s speeches just speeches.
Hillary was right, his only accomplishment is a speech he gave years ago.
bttt
As Palin looms, Obama, Biden, Clinton kick up women outreach
"While Palin makes a historic appeal to women to break the glass ceiling, the Obama campaign will have an equal pay ad airing this week reminding voters of policy differences with the McCain-Palin ticket that vastly impact females."
There is something seriously wrong with Obama and his campaign. Act before you think...yeah that’s the ticket.
Thanks nuconvert, tried to find it, couldn’t.
