"President Obama traveled to Valencia College in Florida in a desperate effort to convince women to stick with Democrats, even though the president’s policies have been a disaster for women.
“We do better when everybody participates, when everybody’s talents are put to use, everybody has a fair shot,” Obama told them.
True enough, though none of that has happened under his administration.
He claims that women need a “fair shot” and likes to cite the widely discredited statistic that women only make 77 percent of what men earn.
But as economist and American Enterprise Institute Adjunct Scholar June O’Neill recently pointed out, “[t]he 77 percent statistic … simply compares the annual earnings of women and men who are full-time, year-round workers.” It doesn’t factor in relevant differences such as types of jobs or hours worked."
