Obama's for Equal Pay, Yet Pays Female Staffers Less Than Males

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. Obama spoke in Albuquerque, N.M. last week about his commitment to the issue and his support of a Senate bill to make it easier to sue an employer for pay discrimination. "Mr. McCain is an honorable man, we respect his service. But when you look at our records and our plans on issues that matter to working women, ...

JERUSALEM – Marxists, socialists and communists have created a safe space online to congregate, exchange ideas – including a stated revolution against the U.S. "oppressive" regime – and support their favored presidential candidate. Their meeting spot? Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign website, which allows registered users to form groups and post content in online "community" blogs. One popular community group on the Illinois senator's official MyObama website calls itself "Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama." "This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the ...
Wall Street Investing Heavily in Barack Obama

Wall Street firms have chipped in more than $9 million to Barack Obama. Wall Street is investing heavily in Barack Obama. Although the Democratic presidential hopeful has vowed to raise capital gains and corporate taxes, financial industry bigs have contributed almost twice as much to Obama as to GOP rival John McCain, a Daily News analysis of campaign records shows. "Wall Street wants change and wants a curtailment in spending. It wants someone who focuses on the domestic economy," said Jim Cramer, the boisterous host of CNBC's "Mad Money." Cramer also does not discount nostalgia for the go-go 1990s, when Bill Clinton led the largest economic expansion in ...

CHICAGO — Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans to expand President Bush's program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and _ in a move sure to cause controversy _ support some ability to hire and fire based on faith. Obama was unveiling his approach to getting religious charities more involved in government anti-poverty programs during a tour and remarks Tuesday in Zanesville, Ohio, at Eastside Community Ministry, which provides food, clothes, youth ministry and other services. "The challenges we face today ... are simply too big for government to solve alone," Obama was to say, ...

How war hero John McCain betrayed the Vietnamese peasant who saved his life Last updated at 01:10 23 March 2008 In all the tales of wartime courage peppering John McCain's presidential campaign trail, perhaps the most outstanding example of selfless heroism involves not the candidate but a humble Vietnamese peasant. On October 26, 1967, Mai Van On ran from the safety of a bomb shelter at the height of an air raid and swam out into the lake where Lieutenant Commander McCain was drowning, tangled in his parachute cord after ejecting when his Skyhawk bomber was hit by a missile. In an extraordinary act of compassion at a time when Vietnamese citizens were being killed by US aerial ...

Guess What Surprise Republicans Yearn For? ALEXANDER COCKBURN Counterpunch Sunday, June 29, 2008 Everybody knows it, but it took a tacky Republican operator to come right out and say it. Charlie Black, John McCain’s campaign adviser, recently let drop to Fortune magazine that another terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be a "big advantage" for the Republican presidential candidate. Of course McCain lost no time in distancing himself from Black’s remark, with the same bogus moral outrage with which he decries racist slurs on his opponent. "I cannot imagine why he would say it. It's not true. I've worked tirelessly since 9/11 to prevent another attack on ...

Romney tops McCain VP list, surprising GOP insiders

Surprising many Republican insiders, Mitt Romney is at the top of the vice-presidential prospect list for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). But lack of personal chemistry could derail the pick. ADVERTISEMENT “Romney as favorite” is the hot buzz in Republican circles, and top party advisers said the case is compelling. Campaign insiders say McCain plans to name his running mate very shortly after Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) does, as part of what one campaign planner called a “bounce-mitigation strategy.” The Democratic convention is in late August, a week ahead of the Republicans convention. That means McCain can size up the opposing ticket before locking in his own. One of ...

A Philly fund-raiser throws support to Obama By Lisa Hostein on Jun 23, 2008 Jewish attorneys raising money for Democratic presidential candidates is hardly news. Nor is it all that unusual for them to switch allegiances once their favorite is out of the game. Still, not so long ago, at least one of Hillary Clinton’s most ardent supporters and fund-raisers had some major questions about Barack Obama, particularly on issues of concern to the Jewish community. But now Philadelphia attorney Mark Aronchick is making those money pitches for the presumptive nominee. He tells JTA that after some initial concerns about some of Obama’s advisers, he did “due diligence” on ...

Preparing For The Future Audio; Posted on: 2008-05-16 Ultimately, we want to have in place a determined, unyielding force to be reckoned with who will go to the mat for the continuation of their folk…whether we live to see it or not. By Frank Roman Audio Version I’ve been getting a real kick lately over the media’s whining at the recent “revelation” that a large number of European Americans in West Virginia refused to vote for Barack Hussein Obama because of his race. They are saying that only racists aren’t voting for him. Now I find that to be pretty odd thing to say in light of the fact that blacks are voting for him in droves. The media mavens are ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, appearing in a taped interview Sunday on "Meet the Press," defended GOP presidential candidate John McCain as "the real deal on the environment" within days of taking a shot at the Arizona senator's call for lifting the federal ban on offshore oil drilling as "blowing smoke." "I'm very proud of him. I'm 100 percent behind him," he told Tom Brokaw in an interview done last Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. Last week, Schwarzenegger had reiterated his opposition to lifting the federal moratorium on offshore drilling after McCain called for lifting the 30-year-old ...

** UPDATE BELOW ** Newsweek is set to publish a highly embarrassing report on Sen. John McCain, revealing that the McCains have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California, for the last four years and are currently in default, The Huffington Post has learned. Under California law, once a residential property is in default for five years, it can be sold at a tax sale to recover the unpaid taxes for the taxpayers. The McCains own at least seven homes through a variety of trusts and corporations controlled by Cindy McCain. UPDATE: Newsweek's story is now online. The report notes that the McCains paid the bulk of their back taxes yesterday, but continue to ...

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father. With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name. -Snip

ORLANDO, Fla. - Vandals have spray-painted 60 city vehicles in Orlando, Fla., some with messages against Sen. Barack Obama. The cars were parked across from city hall late Saturday night. Investigators say the culprits tagged notes such as "Obama smokes crack" and a racial epithet. They even left business cards on each vehicle. Mike Lowe, a videographer working for The Associated Press, first told police about the damage. He saw three cars with anti-Obama messages, while the others were just heavily painted. The business cards disparage both Obama and Sen. John McCain but have messages of support for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Police also found that many of the vehicles had open ...

APBill Clinton is still very bitter that Barack Obama beat his wife Hillary Mr Obama is expected to speak to Mr Clinton for the first time since he won the nomination in the next few days, but campaign insiders say that the former president's future campaign role is a "sticking point" in peace talks with Mrs Clinton's aides. The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence. A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss ...

CAPLIS REPORTS: THE OBAMA TAPES
CAPLIS REPORTS: THE OBAMA TAPES Monday, June 23, 2008 Email article | Print article Dan Caplis reports on Barack Obama's negative racial views, and other important revelations about Obama.
I think that one reason the Jeremiah Wright tapes damaged Senator Obama so badly is because they caused people to wonder whether Obama shares Rev. Wright’s negative racial stereotypes. Senator Obama then heightened those concerns when he recently described his grandmother, who he said uttered racial stereotypes that made him cringe, as a “typical white person,” and then claimed that the people in small towns in the Midwest and Pennsylvania have ...

Even the most ardent of Barack Obama's supporters generally will confess to a small, nagging (dare I say niggling?) doubt about the object of their ardor. Similarly, even Obama's most vocal opposition stops and stares just a bit overlong when they see him speaking. What an odd situation. Obama Nation or Abomination? I recall the JFK era and, while Obama is no JFK - not by a far stretch, I might add - some similarities do exist, similarities that have more to do with grace and appearance than with character and substance. Put your prejudices aside and admit it: Not only is Barack Obama rather handsome, he moves and speaks with a natural grace unseen on the national stage in quite ...
