Obama pays female staffers less than male counterparts

Talk about a gender gap. This isn't going to help Barack Obama among women.

Compensation figures for Obama's Senate staff reveal that Obama pays women just 83 cents for every dollar his men make, according to a watchdog group called LegiStorm.

Obama's 28 male staffers earn an average of $54,397 a year, but Obama's 30 female employees were paid an average of $45,152 a year, according to the group.

Among Obama's five best-paid advisors, only one was a woman, according to the Republican National Committee. Among histop 20, seven were women, the RNC says.

Does Oprah know about this?
