Obama Gets Owned By GOP Senate Candidate

The Obama administration’s latest publicity stunt is to convince the country that the GOP hates women. Even though it is already illegal to discriminate against women, the President and his cartel are slamming the House Republicans for blocking a vote on a do-nothing pay equality bill. In particular, Obama has singled out Republican women including one that isn’t even in Congress.

Terri Lynn Land is a county supervisor from Michigan who is running for the US Senate. She made a good point about the complexity of women’s pay equality:

Well, we all like to be paid more and that’s great, but the reality is that women have a different lifestyle. They have kids. They have to take them to get dentist appointments, doctors appointments, all those kinds of things. And they’re more interested in flexibility in a job than pay.

That statement was from 4 years ago, but the President seized upon it like it was delivered this week. Though he didn’t have the courage to use Land’s name, he took a jab at “a GOP Senate candidate in Michigan, who defended the gender gap in pay as a result of women’s choices.”

“Very rarely do you meet people who make the choice to be paid less for doing the same job,” Obama said.

Obama clearly failed to understand that Land was not saying women should make less, but rather there are other factors that lead some women with families to take lower paying jobs.

As a county supervisor, Land was in charge of a staff that was made up of 85% women. In response to Obama’s misrepresentation of facts, Land issued the following tweet:

But that wasn’t all. The Senate hopeful also issued a statement aimed directly at the President:

President Obama fails to address his own shortcomings as both a male employer and a male politician. According to his own math, the President doesn’t even pay the women on his staff equally. And also, he endorsed Congressman Peters, another male politician who pays the women he employs even less — just 67 cents for every dollar a man makes.

The President was in Michigan just a few days ago, and he could have met and had a real discussion about not only women and flexibility in the workplace, but also about women losing their doctors because of ObamaCare, families spending too much time trying to find good-paying jobs, and families having to pay more to put food on their tables, gas in their tanks, and send their kids to college.

Mr. President, if you want to have a real discussion about women, I’d love to introduce you to Melissa from Troy who switched jobs so that she could have more flexibility, or the Davert family in Bay County who lost their health plan because of ObamaCare.

Until then, I’d politely suggest that you focus your efforts on getting our economy going so that women truly have the opportunity to be successful and provide for their families.

Maybe Obama should do a little more research before he goes around accusing people of supporting pay discrimination.

For a pathological liar like Obama, the truth is his enemy. Lucky for him he is also a sociopath so his right and wrong meter is skewed and he can pretend Land’s statement doesn’t exist. He will continue to spew factually challenged rhetoric about how the GOP is at was with the women of America.
