They didn’t raise minimum wage, they raised THEIE wage.

Out shopping for Mom jeans...

he flew up here for that?

Didn't he have fundraisers, too? Is everybody missing that he shopped at a store that sells a lot of Chinese crap, and almost nothing made in the USA?

The retailer didn’t raise minimum wage, he decided to pay his employees more. a decision that should be left up to him and the people he hires, not some bozo in the White House

Thank you! I can't believe this got 11 posts in before someone pointed out the fallacy sitting smack dab in the middle of the headline.

"Obama hit up a Gap at 42nd Street and Third Avenue Tuesday afternoon..."

I call BS on this. Obama has never hit a gap.

A chain store in Manhattan was paying people less than $10 an hour? Not likely, unless they want the literally unwashed homeless stocking the aisles.

Yet all the buzz is about Old Navy and the girl who rocks those pale blue pants in their latest ad.

Gotta get out there for da outfits for golfing with season coming soon. Guess the dumb ass forgot about all the other LITTLE things in the world like Russia invading some little country, or a lost airplane nobody can find, or other of the “really important” stuff.
