Nice try, but here’s the full quote:

“I remember once I told Valerie [Jarrett] that, I said if it weren’t for the president, this place would be in court for a hostile workplace,” Dunn is heard telling Suskind. “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”

There is some nasty stuff out there on Valerie Jarrett. I have a feeling if Obama loses this thing, there is going to be a radar target on her head for screwing this whole thing up.

Of course that’s part of winning and losing, if he somehow pulls this thing out, she’s a genius. I don’t think she’s making too many friends out there. And you know how it is if they happen to lose someone will sing.

ok then , what about the gun violence is caused by single parent families raising wacko kids.

hey wait, obama was raised by a single mom!

and wasnt the colorado movie shooter raised in an intact home…

well, anyway, even if obama was an ak47 toting freak and the colorado phd gunman was from a broken home, it woudl still have been a totally goofy comment.

vermin supreme makes a boatload more sense with his dental health police intiative than romneys ak47 single mom link.

If two parent households make the country safer from gun violence, why is Romney opposed to gay marriage?

Vermin Supreme is running for president of America. It’s time the world knew a little bit more about him. I’m following him on 2012 Presidential campaign trail and exploring his mysterious past to unearth the true story of the man behind the meme.

You may know Vermin from his well known appearance here:

…at the Lesser-Known Democratic Candidates Presidential Forum in New Hampshire.

Vermin Supreme’s four-plank platform is simple, yet elegant:

1) Mandatory tooth-brushing laws.

2) Zombie preparedness.

3) Fully-funded time travel research.

4) Free ponies for all Americans.

there’s a new documentary on his website…

[scaredyclassic]

if two parent families are safer than one parent families, why wouldnt four or five parent families provide even more safety???

women with men are a lot more likely to get shot; so arguably single women families where the women keep men out of their lives would REDUCE gun violence….

internet says…

Guns and domestic violence are a lethal combination – injuring and killing women every day in the
United States. A gun is the weapon most commonly used in domestic homicides. In fact, more than
three times as many women are murdered by guns used by their husbands or intimate acquaintances
than are killed by strangers’ guns, knives or other weapons combined.i Contrary to many public
perceptions, many women who are murdered are killed not by strangers but by men they know.
• Nearly one-third of all women murdered in the United States in recent years were murdered by
a current or former intimate partner. In 2000, 1,247 women, more than three a day, were killed
by their intimate partners.ii
• Of females killed with a firearm, almost two-thirds of were killed by their intimate partners.iii
• Access to firearms increases the risk of intimate partner homicide more than five times more
than in instances where there are no weapons, according to a recent study.

lately I see romney and vermin supreme as basically the same package, and obama and bush seem to me the same patriotic incumbent I’m doing great crap.

gary johnson for president!

[quote=poorgradstudent]However, you are correct it does vary by field. Tech and medicine tend to have much smaller gaps than manufacturing and financial services, for example.[/quote]I would have to agree on the similarity in salaries in tech. I could understand the disparity in manufacturing. The ‘manufacturing’ category has many subsegments within it with significantly different salaries. Where I work, we have assemblers and machinists. The salary difference between the two categories is significant, as is the technical difficulty of the work. Assemblers are staffed primarily with women. I have not seen a woman machinist @ work.. yet(it can also be a bit dirty/messy). As for disparity in financial services.. I can understand why, but I don’t agree with it. We have all seen that the financial industry acts like a big ole boys club.. in more than one way.

That said, looks like Obama did have to be prodded to take action:

At a dinner in November 2009, several senior female aides complained directly to the president that men enjoyed greater access to him and often muscled them out of key policy discussions.

Those tensions prompted Obama, urged on by senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, to elevate more women into senior White House positions, recognize them more during staff meetings and increase the female presence in the upper ranks of the reelection campaign.

I do have a question as to when he did take action.

the following might be a good book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061429252?ie=UTF8&tag=washpost-style-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0061429252

Might put a more real face on the situation.

Is the election really worth all this drama? We have virtually no say in the matter.

[scaredyclassic]

not worth worrying about one bit.

for entertainment purposes only.

unless we switch to national popular vote or you live ina state that matters.

[NotCranky]

That’s a good answer…entertainment is good.

[Veritas]

“Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis surveyed economic literature and concluded that “research suggests that the actual gender wage gap (when female workers are compared with male workers who have similar characteristics) is much lower than the raw wage gap.” They cited one survey, prepared for the Labor Department, which concluded that when such differences are accounted for, much of the hourly wage gap dwindled, to about 5 cents on the dollar. Not only did the White House pick the statistic that makes the wage gap look the worst, but then officials further tweaked the numbers to make the situation for African Americans and Hispanics look even more dire.”

More cherry picking by Obama.
