No, the Time object does not compare the strings (this wouldn't make any 
sense) but the actual points of time.

Those are still two different points of time: "2011-12-22 16:26:43 
-0800" is "2011-12-22 23:26:43 UTC", so it's definitely not equal to the 
database time "2011-12-22 16:26:43 UTC".

You'll probably have to fix the database timestamps (add 8 hours).
