added Fair Pay
''"So, I think it is fair to say that the [[president]] has simply tried to gain another six months to continue on the same course that he's been on for several years now. '''It is a course that will not succeed.''' It is a course that is exacting an enormous toll on the American people, enormous toll on our troops who have performed brilliantly and done everything that's been asked of them and is not making us more safe."''

:Senator Obama's women staffers are paid just 78 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. <ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=42747 Obama Signs Fair Pay Act - His Female Staffers Made 78% of Males' Pay in Senate] CNSNews, January 30, 2009</ref>
''"women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men," and "just totally wrong."''
''"Today many women work to help support their families but are paid just 77 cents to a dollar a man makes," says the female narrator of the Obama campaign ad. "It's one more thing John McCain doesn't get about our economy. He opposed a law to guarantee women equal pay for equal work, calling it too great a burden on business... A burden on business? How about the burden on our families."''
''"But I can’t think of any problem more important than making sure that women get equal pay for equal work. It’s a matter of equality. It’s a matter of fairness. That’s why I stood up for equal pay in the Illinois State Senate, and helped pass a law to give 330,000 more women protection from paycheck discrimination. That’s why I’ve been fighting to pass legislation in the Senate, so that employers don’t get away with discriminating against hardworking women like Lilly Ledbetter. And that’s why I’ll continue to stand up for equal pay as President."''
''"that there are no second class citizens in our workplaces, and that it's not just unfair and illegal -- but bad for business-- to pay someone less because of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion or disability" ''
''“While this bill bears her name, Lilly knows this story isn’t just about her. It is a story of women across this country still earning just 78 cents for every $1 men earn, women of color even less, which means that today in the year 2009, countless women are still losing thousands of dollars in salary, income, and retirement savings over the course of a lifetime.”''
