White House continues its war on women

Recently, the White House flaunted a picture on its Flickr account page showing President Barack Obama in the oval office with his top advisers. But, take a look at the photo. Do you notice anything?  No, they’re not all white – there is a little bit of diversity. Look more closely.

Wait for it…

There is not one woman in the photo.

Obama, whose campaign claimed that Mitt Romney was anti-woman, cannot bring himself to find one qualified woman for his team.

And, the White House female employees are still paid much less than the men who work for the President.

According to the Free Beacon:

The Obama White House in 2011 paid female staffers 18 percent less than their male colleagues:

• According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).

The Obama reelection campaign, though better, was also a bastion of inequality:

• The Obama reelection campaign’s female employees earned an average of $6,872 during that period, compared with an average of $7,235 for male employees. That is a difference of $363, or 5.3 percent.

The annualized pay difference is more than $2,100 per year.

Why isn’t the mainstream media – whose anchors seem to be such champions for women – reporting this and forcing the president to rectify the issue? How hypocritical it was to attack Romney, whose cabinet while Massachusetts governor was approximately one-half women, when Obama cannot even find one woman to advise him.
