>Hey I'm happy you agree the wage should be increased - and maybe I should just let it go at that...but COME ON..really? The minimum wage IS NOT a livable wage and has not been for a long time - long before Obama. It's like watching Fox News out here sometimes - no matter what the problem is or how it came about - it's all Obamacare's fault! economy is bad - Obamacare! Gas prices up - Obamacare! - my cat got sick - cause of Obamacare!
The minimum wage isn't supposed to be a livable wage - that's the problem - too many people believe that ANY job entitles one to a certain living.
And for the record, save for interviews with specific analysts/columnists (such as Brit Hume, Kirsten Powers, Steven Hayes, Charles Krauthammer, Bernard Goldberg, Jay Sekulow), I don't have a high opinion of Fox News.
As for the President - remember how much his campaign in 2008 against McCain was based on slamming Bush for specific contexts where the exact same thing can be said about him.
