... Obama is calling attention to the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act that aimed to eliminate gender wage disparities, making the case for strengthening the law that President John F. Kennedy signed in 1963.

Obama, speaking to an audience almost entirely of women, says women continue to be paid less than men. He says: "This is the 21st century. It's time to close that gap."

Whaaaaaa???

“Celebrating” fifty years of a law’s enactment to... ahem... call for _more_ action?

What a clown.

Nobody trusts him or his government. That has changed a lot.

When Peter King says “all we do is track foreigners”... nobody believes him. That’s why things have changed - and he doesn’t get it. He seems confused that for some unexplained reason, Americans are no longer willing to allow them to be free to use their good character and discretion.

The left just doesn’t believe there is a free market for anything. There is a lot of competition for good employees regardless of sex, race or religion. In most cases today women are being paid more than men for the same job..just to satisfy EEO goals.

Well, Obie... just keep blurring the lines between the genders, and eventually no “gender gap” will exist.

Yes, this is the responsibility of the head of the Executive branch of the federal government. Oh wait, never mind.

This is so much like liberals — “celebrating” a law that they claim has failed miserably.

It looks to me as if they’re more likely to have an orgasm than a crisis.
