As If There Weren’t More Important Things To Worry About

We have an official Presidential proclamation today from the White House via Memeorandum;

From this day forward, April 11 shall always be known as…wait for it…

“National Equal Pay Day”  Here’s a portion of the proclamation;

Presidential Proclamation–National Equal Pay Day

——-
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION

Generations of women have fought for the advancement of their sisters, daughters, and themselves in acts of great courage — reaching for and winning the right to vote, breaking barriers in America’s universities and boardrooms, and flooding the modern workforce with skilled talent. While our Nation has come far, obstacles continue to exist for working women, who still earn less on average than working men. Each year, National Equal Pay Day reflects how far into the current year women must work to match what men earned in the previous year. On National Equal Pay Day, we rededicate ourselves to carrying forward the fight for true economic equality for all, regardless of gender.

I thought this theory that women make less than men had just been debunked. And by a woman no less. I guess this national proclamation is much more important than worrying about the coming debt crisis and what’s happening in Libya as well as other trouble spots all over the world. Obama sure has his priorities straight.
