Senator Barack Obama: “Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work, I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.”

I’m sure they will. As long as they don’t work for the staff of … Senator Barack Obama.

Obama’s 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama’s average male employee earned $54,397.

Obama’s 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.

Stay classy, Senator.
