Obama Looking at Raising Federal Contractor Min Wage Through Exec Order
The president is going to put on his big girl panties and raise minimum wage of federal contractors through EO. The expectation is the increase will scare the GOP into raising it nationwide.

Not sure how this helps a depressed economy, but I'm sure he has also been monitoring the situation.

"Here’s some welcome news. At his meeting with Democratic Senators last night, President Obama indicated that he is giving serious consideration to executive action designed to raise the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors, according to one Senator who was present."

What makes you think he intends to help the economy with this move? He hopes it'll help destroy the economy. Why else would he intentionally drive up the costs for the government? Does that make any business sense? Nope.

I don't think he has any intention of helping the economy.
He has shown for 5 years he intends to collapse it so he can make it in his own image.

He seems to have come back from one of his homelands with a new found vigor.
Wonder if he has a visit to his old communist haunts while in Hawaii.

The idea of a tax increase through EO was brought up around this time last year. Just a floater. Even his own team wasn't ready for the judicial battle.
Looks like they have come up with a new way.

He knows his way around the constitution.

Took a few minutes to find this one.
From the Democratic Socialist of America endorsement of BO while in the Illinois State Senate...
"Barak Obama is serving only his second term in the Illinois State Senate so he might be fairly charged with ambition, but the same might have be said of Bobby Rush when he ran against Congressman Charles Hayes. Obama also has put in time at the grass roots, working for five years as a community organizer in Harlem and in Chicago. When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy."

Like the picture. Amazing the majority if the populace either doesn't see it or doesn't want to believe it.
