Maybe Obama Should Be Sued Under The Lilly Ledbetter Act!

In last night's debate, Obama defended his record on equal pay for woman by constantly referring to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that he signed into law in 2008.  If you're not aware of it, the "Ledbetter" law extends the amount of time that women have available to them in suing over pay discrimination.  But, here's the problem with Obama even referencing that law.  The woman of his own staff are being paid "significantly" less than their male counterparts; as noted in this article that appeared in the U.K. Daily Mail in April of this year:   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2128513/Women-paid-significantly-Obama-White-House-male-counterparts.html

Maybe Obama's woman staffers should sue him in federal court for their lack of fair pay.  You see, as always with Obama, talk is extremely cheap.
