Obama Talks Minimum Wage Over $13.99 Reuben Sandwich

Our post-partisan President reached a new low yesterday. Speaking at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan he declared Paul Ryan’s budget a “stinkburger” or “meanwich.” Obama is apparently promoting an increase in the minimum wage. He went to Zingerman’s because they allegedly offer a “fair” wage. The left doesn’t seem to understand that a “fair” wage is whatever an employee agrees to work for. In other words, it isn’t determined by government bureaucrats or academics. That’s beside the point of course, we know Obama believes everything in our lives must be decided in Washington. The problem of course is that Zingerman’s isn’t the place to make this argument and the Paul Ryan budget is really not relevant to anything.

Zingerman’s is pushing the minimum wage increase to eliminate competition.

I get a kick out of writers who keep asking the same idiotic question...”why did the president say this or that”. He says what he’s told to say. That’s why. Geez!

Marxist propagandists like Zingerman don’t care about the little people they claim to stand up for. They care about driving the competition out of business while pumping up their own sales by pulling in fellow marxists and overcharging them.

Yeah, for sure. The public will learn who and what Obama really is after he leaves office. Follow the money, and follow who his friends and associates are. Btw, an interesting factoid about the minimum wage; many union wage scales are linked to the minimum wage. Meaning, let’s say the minimum wage is increased by 20%, then contractually union scale is increased proportionally. Now you know “the rest of the story” :)

Oh I’m sure Zingermans is doing a booming business today. Liberals will make the pilgrimage to walk where “He” walked for weeks to come.

Unfortunately it’s you and I that paid a few $100k to fly his worthless ass to A2 to order that $14 sandwich.

He stays home just a few times and I won’t bitch about the price of his sandwiches ever again, even if they hand it to him wrapped in gold foil instead of what us peasants use.

I truly wonder if the idiot was smart enough to know his $10.10 min wage nonsense wouldn’t even pay for the one sandwich he was shoving in that hole between those jug ears.

Let’s raise the price of that sandwich to $20.20 to show we care twice as much as anyone else.

Some idiot somewhere will be glad to pay $20.20 for a damn sandwich because they care.

Column: Waiting for President Obama at Zingerman's Deli

"You can take photos of the president, but don't get in his face with the camera," said one agent. "Keep one hand free to shake the president's hand. And do not reach into your pockets. Keep your hands out of your pockets."

Sure would be nice if Obama would keep his hands out of mine.
