Obama Explains Pay Discrepancy


The following is an excerpt, read more at: azconservative.org ...

The revelation that presidential rival Senator John McCain (R-Ariz) pays his female staff members more than Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) does his sparked an outburst of indignation from the Democratic presidential nominee.

“It’s not a fair comparison,” Obama complained. “Working for Senator McCain is just a job. My people have the added satisfaction of being included in a once-in-a-lifetime mission to change the world. That’s worth more than money. So, a strict dollar-for-dollar measure isn’t comparable.”

The average pay for each of the 33 men on Obama’s staff was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama’s staff was $48,729.91. The average pay for the 30 women on McCain’s staff was $59,104.51. The 16 men were paid an average of $56,628.83.

“My people have the added satisfaction of being included in a once-in-a-lifetime mission to change the world. That’s worth more than money.” - That is hilarious, if the tables were turned and McCain was paying less this would be a big deal. How is it that nothing negative sticks to Obama? Everything just seems to slide right off.
