WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Barack Obama highlighted small business owners across the country he says are acting to raise wages for their workers. He called on Congress to “give America a raise so more hard-working Americans have the opportunity to get ahead.”

Obama wants Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin is a major proponent of that initiative.

“Republicans have voted more than 50 times to undermine or repeal health care for millions of Americans. They should vote at least once to raise the minimum wage for millions of working families,” the president said.

Spoken like a true give me everything for free, hands out liberal sheep maybe not. Don’t worry your government checks will keep you going for at least two more years. By the way their selling leeches at the bait shops now you better check to see if any of your family is there. I get to go to work now so Osama Obama can give you more of my money. Have a productive day.

This is what I’ve learned from the mental giant maybe so far.

1. The Iraq war really was about WMD’s and it wasn’t a lie even though Colon Powell has already apologized and everyone knows it was a lie.

2. Evolution is for idiots and the Bible should be taken literally as facts over science.

3. Pot is bad and evil and should be illegal. Cigs and booze are OK though.

There you have it, some ex-Winnebago line worker knows it all and WE are the dumb ones and he’s really the smart…

I think anonymous is referring to the reject Chicago liberal screwing up our country by trying to turn it into the government dependent retirement home he thinks it should be. That Harvard grad smoked to much pot and rotted out the pea brain he was born with.

He just can’t seem to get it through his thick head that the reason they can give more money to their employees is because they are making more money and mandating a raise for people that do not earn it or when they can’t afford it will do nothing but cause these small businesses to cut people. He has no business experience and is as clueless as a Philly.
