Obama's War on Women Jan 3rd 2013, 21:28 Obama's War on Women Quote: The White House's Flickr account recently released a photo of President Barack Obama and his top advisers. The complete absence of women in the image is another reminder that females are underrepresented in Obama's staff. Additionally, the president still pays his female employees significantly less than their male counterparts. 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. It is unclear when Obama and the Democrats will call off the war on women.
