Another 'No We Can't moment for the Cream of Wheat poster boy. After babbling how woman should be paid as much as males last monday, Odumbo turns out to be paying them way less. What a Baboon.

Obama Pays Female Staff Less Than Males
Tuesday, July 1, 2008 8:29 AM
While Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has vowed to
make pay equity for women a top priority if elected president, an
analysis of his Senate staff shows that women are outnumbered and
out-paid by men.
That is in contrast to Republican presidential candidate John
McCain's Senate office, where women, for the most part, out-rank and
are paid more than men.
On average, women working in Obama's Senate office were paid at
least $6,000 below the average man working for the Illinois senator.
That's according to data calculated from the Report of the Secretary of
the Senate, which covered the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2007.
Of the five people in Obama's Senate office who were paid $100,000 or
more on an annual basis, only one -- Obama's administrative manager --
was a woman.
The average pay for the 33 men on Obama's staff (who earned more
than $23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees)
was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama's staff who
earned more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. (The average pay for
all 36 male employees on Obama's staff was $55,962; and the average pay
for all 31 female employees was $48,729. The report indicated that
Obama had only one paid intern during the period, who was a male.)
