    Goes down to defeat.
    Imagine the gall of a President pleading for all americans to weather
    the current bad economy by tightening their belts and in some cases
    doing without ,as he lollygags off to Hawaii for vacation time to
    the tune of costing the taxpayer $ 7 Million.
    And then using an Executive Order to put into place a Pay Hike
    for Federal Employees { Obama hires on average over 100 a day }
    and those Lawmakers in Congress.
    By a vote of 287-129 { 55 Democrats } approved the measure to keep
    the pay hike FREEZE in place.
    This vote was prior to the Fiscal Cliff vote for added Irony.

    Does it have anything to do with how Obama has Already padded the
    salaries of Federal Workers to new heights.
    Federal Workers now get paid in some cases twice as much as comparable
    Private Sector employment.
    A very Unreported travesty.
    Obama is actively trying to eliminate a Private Sector.
    He wants a Kafkaesque workforce beholdin' to only him.

    There has been a salary freeze in place every year that Obama has been in office.

    Saying he's padded the pay of federal workers is an absolute lie.

    Care to provide a link that shows specific policies of Obama that have "padded" the salries of federal workers?

    Not that the average garden variety Liberal cares to accept anything beyond
    their usual purview { Think Progress,Media Matters,MoveOn.org,Daily Kos and
    Huffinton. Plus ragweed for budding commies like The Nation or Mother Jones }

    Furthermore Federal workers earning $ 150,ooo or more now make up
    3.9% of the country's workforce up from just 0.4 % in 2005.That as reported
    in November of 2010.
    Obama policy in effect has Hired more than 100 Federal workers Per day.
    As in each and every day.
    Under Obama top-paid staff have increased in every department and agency.
    The Defense Department had 214 civilians earning $170,ooo or more
    when Obama took office.And 940 by June. As of The Blaze { Nov.10 2010 }
    report.
    Obama has literally been using graft in the form of Stimulus { Recovery act }
    to buy favor in and around Washington.
    Why else did he try to sneak an Executive order allowing for an end to the
    voted on Pay Freeze.
    The original Pay Freeze was accomplished care of the newly elected Republican
    Majority in the House.Obama and the Democrats were gonna award nice
    pay hikes back then,but the Tea Party House wouldn't hear of it.
