Obama: Equal pay for first ladies too

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/15/politics/obama-touts-equal-pay-in-north-carolina/index.html

While in Charlotte North Carolina, President Obama discussed equal pay for women to the invite-only audience. He made it very clear that he strongly believes in equal pay for both genders. He described a personal account of his grandmother who worked in  a bank for twenty years keeping the same job while training younger men who continually got promoted. He also said, "But before we were in the White House, I wanted to make sure Michelle got paid as much as she could ... If she had a bigger paycheck, then that made us able to pay the bills," Obama said. "Why would I want my spouse or my daughter discriminated against? That doesn't make any sense.” 

This is related to Ap Gov because it relates to the President and his job and all the important things he has to do on a daily basis.

I think equal pay for men and women is extremely important.  Unequal pay is outdated and irrelevant in todays society. Men and women should be paid equally and given the same benefits. We are living in a progressive world and you would think that wage equality would be a no brainer.
