President Barack Obama signs the first bill of his administration, addressing wage discrimination lawsuits. Obama discusses the importance of the new law, bringing the nation closer to equality. He says it is more than a women's issue. The discrimination of an employee's paycheck effects their families, health care, education, and the struggling economy. Obama says he signs this law in honor of Lilly Ledbetter and the women who came before her. He also signs for his daughters and the future generations.
