Looks like he wasn't playing when he said “my daughters should be able to be paid the same amount as your sons.” Good on him.

So excited to see this! We elect a great President – and he shows enormous leadership by his first act!! Keep moving the chains on Civil RIghts! What a great day!

this is an important step for equality for Americans. i'm so proud of Obama today.

B-Serious: As HE said – - – - “MY VERY FIRST BILL. . . . “

LOVE IT!!! :>) :>)

CONGRATULATIONS – - – - Mr. PRESIDENT OBAMA!! :>) :>)

I see his PRESIDENT'S SEAL!! :>) Woooo! Hooo! :>)

Hail to the Chief – Obama

An added bonus of this bill is that I'm sure Obama pissed off a lot of White male Republicans by signing it LOL. That's what they get for voting against the stimulus plan.

He signed you Bill, now you're a law!

Oh yes!

See … President Obama doesn't speak about it, but he be about it!! Yay!!! It's great that this is the first Bill he signed.

Oh I loved school house rock … I just got finish calling the electric company and now, reading this, electricity, electricity is stuck in my head! *lol*

Let them be pissed! President Obama in charge! He won!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep…. when they declared him the winner of the election, I swear I haven't slept that deeply since the end of 2001.

Speaking of white males, looking at the default image of the video above I keep thinking about a picture I once saw of President Bush (43) at a bill signing ceremony. The bill had something to do with curtailing reproductive rights and Bush was surrounded only by white men. That image said so much about what they thought women and people of color should bring to that debate.

This image just shows much more inclusiveness. Just blows the mind.

EDIT: Seems me and a Kos poster were on the same wavelength. This is the picture I was alluding to.

Here are the lyrics:

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, “You're right, there oughta be a law.” Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate
Whether they should let me be a law.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.

Boy: Die?

Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.

Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?

Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.

Boy: Oh no!

Bill: Oh yes!

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?

Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old…

Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?

Bill: No!

But how I hope and I pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!

Bill: Oh yes!!!
