WASHINGTON — President Obama on Tuesday will call attention to what he has said is an “embarrassment” in America: the fact that women make, on average, only 77 cents for every dollar that a man earns.
But critics of the administration are eager to turn the tables and note that Mr. Obama’s White House fares only slightly better. A study released in January showed that female White House staff members make on average 88 cents for every dollar a male staff member earns.
That's only "slightly" better? 88 is nearly halfway from 77 to 100! That kind stretches the definition of the word "slightly" doesn't it?

since JFK signed #EqualPay Act women still earn just 77¢ to every $1 men make
My math sucks. Its not an equal pay for equal jobs issue. Its just that more men are in higher positions. Little misleading.

Why aren't the women making 100% of what the men in the White House make? Why is anything less than that acceptable?

When Obama is the one promoting inequality, you become a proponent of "pretty garsh darn close to equal"?

Neither 77 nor 88 is 100, Dr. Physics PhD. You're doing a bit of stretching there, yourself.
