TOLEDO, Ohio -- Barack Obama seems to have only one full color playing cards with
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican candidate for vice president:
She holds the same positions as John McCain, the GOP presidential
candidate who tapped her.
That may seem like a "well, duh" observation independent clothes his part, but Obama
has tiptoed carefully around Palin as he tries to attract female
voters. So far he has criticized her only for her ties to McCain.
On Sunday, the Democratic nominee seemed eager to blunt Palin's
possible appeal to undecided women, but again, indirectly.
"We're going to make sure that equal pay for equal work is a reality
in this country," Obama said at an economic forum in Toledo, Ohio, a
battleground state this fall. Alluding to Palin without saying her
name, he told about 200 people sitting on a sun-drenched office
rooftop chinese tutor chicago she "seems like a very engaging person, nice person. But
I've got to say, she's opposed, like John McCain is, to equal pay for
equal work. That streetwear style make much sense to me."
Obama, sharing the stage with running mate Joe Biden, has often
criticized McCain's stand on a failed Senate bill called the Fair Pay
Restoration Act. It essentially would have reversed a 5-4 Supreme
Court decision holding that a woman had only 180 days to formally
complain that she was paid less than male colleagues for the same
work.
Obama, who co-sponsored the bill, says such barriers should be eased.
McCain missed the Senate vote, but said at the time: "I am all in
favor of pay equity for women. But this kind customized playing cards legislation ... opens
us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems."
Some of Obama's supporters and spokesmen have been less gentle with
Palin, noting that she has been governor only two years and has little
if any foreign policy experience.
Obama, life insurance attended church Sunday in Lima, Ohio, promised to bring
jobs to hard-pressed sections multiple insurance quotes the state.
"We're going to invest $15 billion a year in making highly efficient
cars of the future right here in Ohio, right here in America," he said
to loud cheers. He promised to help create plants to produce
"windmills and solar panels and biofuels, right here in Ohio, creating
millions of jobs that can't be exported."
He and Biden, who jumped in a few times to help answer questions from
the audience, said they emo clothing pay for their initiatives partly by
ending some of the Bush administration's tax cuts for high earners.
Later Sunday, during a rally with Biden at a minor-league ballpark in
Battle Creek, Mich., Obama said, "I'm tired of reading about 10,000
jobs leaving and 20,000 jobs leaving ... full color custom playing cards no one thinking about
what playing cards promotional can do about job creation."
The McCain campaign said Sunday that the presidential candidate and
Palin support equal pay for women even though they do not think the
180-day limit for filing complaints should be changed.
