It only extended the statute of limitations so that lawsuits can be filed years later:

This was Obama's first sop to plaintiff's attorneys. It had nothing to do with equal pay for women. Incidentally, Anita Dunn and Christine Romer, both refugees from Obama's administration, call it a "hostile environment" for women.

True that, Jimmy. "Equal pay" is the ultimate red herring. My wife gets paid nothing, and if she worked, she would get less than I do, because she has been raising my children (and I am very thankful for it) and has no recent experience. So, if she were getting paid 9 bucks an hour, and I was getting 18, it would show up as only 50% of my pay, but there were a dozen other factos involed. Similarly, Obama can not only pay women less, but outright treat them poorly, but still get feminist support because he favors the government paying for abortions. I wonder if ever this bizarro world will be condemned by future generations?
