Pay Freeze=Pay Raise

Obama does it again. He keeps saying his people have not had a pay raise in the 2.5 years he has been in office but the numbers do not add up. Here is an article from PR Daily that suggests otherwise. Here are the names of the Obama communication department that received raises.

• Kevin Lewis, director of African-American media, went from $42,000 to $78,000.

• Elizabeth Olsen, special assistant to the president and director of presidential correspondence, saw her $76,500 salary boosted to $110,000.

• Thomas Vietor, senior director and national security staff spokesman, is now raking in $105,000 per year—up from $78,000.

• Johanna Maska, deputy director of advance and director of press advance, was making $56,100 a year; she’s now earning $80,000 annually.

• Semonti Stephens, deputy communications director, is now making $75,000—a $21,000 boost from what she had been making.

• Andrea Turk, director of information services, now makes $70,000—up from her previous salary of $50,000.

What a hypocrite! Another thing to add to my list.
