Paltrow called the president’s push for equal pay “very important to me as a working mother.”
At the conclusion of her introduction, she turned the microphone over to Obama, telling him, “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly.”
The president then continued to deliver what was described by the White House pool as one of his standard fundraising speeches. Julia Roberts and Bradley Whitford were among other celebrities spotted in attendance.
Equal pay with whom?
