When counted the same way that produced the 77-cent figure, the analysis found, women overall at the White House make 91 cents for every dollar men make.

The 77-cent canard is based on averaging on the widest possible \u201cbig brush\u201d scale. Their answer \u2014 that men and women doing the same work and responsibility get paid equally \u2014 holds true in the marketplace as well. In fact, that\u2019s what the 91% gap shows, in both the White House and the Blau-Kahn study; the difference is in the rational choices made by women in the marketplace, not some kind of malicious conspiracy against the female gender.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another reason the alternative media is necessary under the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_h.png?x-id=4293ffe3-9d9a-4439-9a8d-9f616e6e4a35\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Morrissey at Hot Air posted an article today comparing President Obama&#8217;s statement about equal wages for women with the actual pay scales at the White House.
