Obama Sets Bear Trap, Republicans Walk Right Into It (From January)



Published on Jan 30, 2014

"Following President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday, where he called on Congress to end discriminatory workplace practices that "belong in a Mad Men episode" Fox News host Martha MacCallum proclaimed on the program American's Newsroom that women did not want special laws ensuring equal for equal work because they already were compensated "exactly what they're worth." On the Fox program, two men, liberal radio host Alan Colmes and Fox News host Tucker Carlson, debated equal pay for women. Carlson assertedthat women actually made more than men if the time they "voluntarily" took off work to raise children was factored in. "The numbers don't lie," he insisted...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.


(Ignore the captioning, it's gotta be computer generated, it's insane. Why TYT hasn't fixed this IDK. May be a joke.)

But he truly covers all the issues and nuances there, it's worth a few minutes to watch the whole video.

This reminded me of how Obama is trolling the GOP, daring them to get to work for the people, so I'm posting it to let you know this isn't a new thing with Obama. Hope you enjoy it.

You know the drill. If you can't respect the spirit or SOP of the BOG or the members of the group, kindly do not post here. This is a safe haven, not a forum for complaints, GD is where that is welcome.

and I have nothing against blonde's I am one... Alan said that women want equal pay for equal work. She said "You pay women for what they are worth Alan." Slapping her upside of the head. What a stupid person.



Thanks fresh

One day some of these Faux women are going to write tell-all biographies and admit how ashamed they are to work for such a regressive sexist network. They must have paid her well to say something that dumb and sexist.

remember that regarding President Obama he famously said, "Do*not*play*chess*with*that*man."
