"That's Unacceptable"
On Friday morning, President Obama headed to Rhode Island College to talk about our economy's progress and how we can build on it by expanding opportunity for women and working families.
While there, the President sat down with a few working parents, small business owners, students, and faculty to discuss policies that could help working families right now and continue to grow our economy. In his remarks later that morning, he made clear that hardworking women deserve the same opportunities as men.
"The idea that my daughters wouldn't have the same opportunities as somebody's sons -- well, that's unacceptable," he said. "That's not acceptable."
