Unequal Pay?

During Obama's acceptance speak at the DNC, he said; "Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day's work."

Hmm, so why, according to seattlepi.com's research or multiple listings if you google "obama female pay," does Obama pay his female Senate staff on average 83% of what he pays his male staff? And why is he getting away with accusing McCain of opposing equal pay for equal work when McCain actually pays his female staff slightly more than his male staff on average?

Who's the hypocrite?
