not answer the question as to why he could point to the 77-cent statistic and make the case that that was de facto evidence of discrimination but when others pointed to the white house and its wage gap, it wasn t evidence of discrimination. it was really hard to watch jay carney struggle to try to answer that question. a.b. is exactly right. this is all about politics. they are trying to make an argument for 2014. and if it benefits them in 2016, they will be happy about that. sometimes i wonder if i m just not cynical enough. i ve been working on this for decades. right here. this is such an obviously phony number. a phony argument. and they know it the fact that the white house has a disparate is proof. nobody imagined that obama is anti-women because of all the factors that we talked about. you wonder at what point does their cynicism hit bottom? i don t know, i would like to say now but again i m not cynical enough. give it time, charles. that s it for the panel. stay tuned
