Truly an incredible woman, fighting a fight for women of future generations. Her former employer is reprehensible in my opinion. Don’t buy Goodyear…that’s what I say.

Yes, she did such a lousy job that she worked for Goodyear for 19 years, rose to management, received merit increases and raises, only to find out at retirement that she earned $300K less than male co-workers who started working at the same time as she did.

Unlike some others, she doesn’t have a book deal and doesn’t get paid big dollars for speaking out about what’s right. This is a grandmother on social security who just earlier this year was unable to pay her winter heating bill when her social security check went missing for several weeks. Before you go passing judgments, you might want to get the facts and not judge through Obama-biased glasses.

Lilly Ledbetter a role model? No question in my mind.

Michelle, one day, I hope that you get to hear Lilly’s story first hand. She is a remarkable women.

Also, I would like to point out some facts:
1. Lilly received top awards for her work performance
2. She spent several years of her life on a case that didn’t yield a dime for her.

Pretty remarkable. When a woman has the charming combination of being both lousy at her job AND litigious, American stands up and cheers. This is what constitutes a role model in Obamaland?
