You're lying again Karla. I've never once said "I'm not an Obama fan". However I have said I've never been a fan of Obamacare. I'm more of a single payer kinda guy.
Btw how's the hubby doing?

even according to that women's advocacy piece you linked, the vast majority of the 77/100 gap (more than 2/3 of it!) is explained by other factors.
using the 77% figure anyway is wrong- it's an exaggeration by at minimum a factor of 3.

Louisianians and their thoughts on Obama.
Would you expect anything less? Some simply don't care for him but don't hate him (me)

Goddammit i love the south

Regardless, it's a myth that women earn less because they choose lower-paying careers.

According to an August poll, 29% of Louisiana Republicans blame Obama for Hurricane Katrina response under Bush.
28% blamed Bush.
28% blamed Bush.

Well, since I probably qualify re the 'bolded'...I'll go on record and say that if OBAMA is the antichrist
...damn...what a letdown! As being the very epitome of the most cunning and sophisticated form of deception ever to walk the face of this Earth...my expectations of an 'antichrist' that would deceive "all but the elect"...were are tad higher than the bumbling Obama who has to have a 24-7 media or he'd be exposed as the worst fake to ever suck air. Crap...bad enough that the grape juice is getting watered down by the day...now the frickin antichrist takes a hit!
Glad I was born in '50!

empirical evidence from your own link refutes that claim quite decisively.

You need to read that study closer. According to that study, men tend to graduate with more employable degrees (engineering, business, computer systems), work more hours, and use their degrees in "for-profit" fields at a higher rate than women. When the study attempts to control for "all" variables (which it doesn't; it only controls for institution, degree, sector, and hours worked), the pay gap shrinks to 7% in the first year of employment.
The pay gap completely disappears between men and women with advanced degrees who work the same job.

even with that 6.6% they end up with in the report, there are still factors that they do not control for. this is notable because they acknowledge some of them in other places of the report, such as assertiveness at salary negotiation, as significant.
then again, it's pretty unrealistic to hold advocacy work up to actual rigorous standards anyway, so i don't even know why i bothered to point this out

Admittedly, I didn't read it as closely as I should have. Thanks for the lesson on my own link.

This is what the people wanted. Don't blame Obama. This was all right there in his books. Blame your fellow Americans.

Even if the number is closer to 93%, is that not significant? Less significant than 77%, sure, but not insignificant. I suppose if it goes back to Obama mentioning the 77% figure, that was untruthful.
I still don't think it's comparing apples to oranges, though.

Well, it significantly reduces the gap when just the immediate measurable variables are accounted for. And again, it doesn't come close to accounting for all variables.
If 7% were the absolute correct answer, I would argue that it may be more than trivial but less than significant. But that isn't the case by the study's own admission.

Obama parrots talking points given to him and this particular completely false talking point has been in circulation for years. No reasonable person, once presented with actual evidence, takes it seriously.

There are still a multitude of unaccounted for variables

yes, it absolutely is. (although i do suspect that with everything controlled for properly, the difference is half of that or less- but that's still something.)
we do a great disservice to the policy discussion if we describe the size of the problem poorly on purpose though, because solutions need to be tailored to the actual problem.

Do you have any objective evidence to support your outrageously self-serving conclusory statement?
If so, please present it, so that we may more fully understand you.
If you cannot or will not support your lunatic ravings with objective evidence, then it's high time for you to STFU.

The problem is, IMHO, the US electorate rejects Constitutional Conservatism because the US electorate has changed. The US electorate now wants a welfare state and big, intrusive FedGov.
I think this is accurate and if the kind of immigration reform preferred by the radical progressives comes to fruition it may stay that way for the foreseeable future. It is terribly depressing.

I'm not sure he has a unified philosophy about anything (except golf in Hawaii). There are, however, some similarities to Washington, D.C. in the 1980's, and Detroit more recently.....
