In remarks on the U.S. economy Monday, President Barack Obama said Congressional Republicans will eventually cave to public pressure to raise the federal minimum wage.
Obama was speaking at the Laborfest festival hosted by the AFL-CIO in Milwaukee, Wis.
“If I cared about these things, I’d also want more Democrats looking out for me,” he said. “I’m just saying. Because when the rest of the country is working to raise wages, but Republicans in Congress won’t, it ain’t right.” ADVERTISEMENT
Noting the protests in recent months from fast food workers seeking higher wages, Obama said Republicans would open up to the idea of raising the federal minimum wage.
“We’ll break those folks down,” he also said. “We’ll just stay on them. We’ll just keep at it. That’s how I got Michelle to marry me — I just wore her down. Persistence — you just stay at it.”

Not surprised that Obama’s idea of foreplay is two hours of begging.
The world is falling apart, our country’s borders aren’t secure, the economy has not left the crapper in 6 years, and this is what he focuses on.
Pretty amazing,isn’t it.Almost like he doesn’t give a damn.
I’d like to thank everyone for the past 45 years working the deep fryer!
The GOPe is doing a fine job of that already.
When will Baraq Hussein Ubama bother to “breakdown” the Islamofascists?
Yep, Bush gave in and signed one in 2008, and look how that worked out.
Problem is that the GOP still repeats the same arguments from the early 1990s while Dems are always dreaming up new ones.(Like 'Higher wages create more jobs')
Some of that comes from talk radio, I notice Mark Levin is once again going back talking about Reagan's economy, skipping GWB altogether,
That is not an argument for the general voter, its just for his over 50 audience.
Mitt Romney was in no way the person to argue against a minimum wage increase either, he was a train wreck.
The man is actually a simpleton.
He came to office with a manufactured show-biz persona and a few ridiculous leftist notions about race, capitalism and US history and power.
He gets smaller by the day.
Sorry guys, Obama was talking about the federal minimum wage.
Yeah, persistence.
What’s His golf handicap again?
Obama has a plan to deceive on Fast & Furious. (Holder currently appealing House Contempt Charge)
Obama has a plan to deceive on spying on citizens & reporters.
Obama has plan to deceive on IRS targeting of Conservatives.
Obama has a plan to deceive on Benghazi attack.
Obama has a plan to control the message!

So he is admitting he will lose, because no sane person would call being stuck with fata$$ Moochelle a win.
He probably used a roofie to help him along
loser
Listen to this ignoramus. Talking like a street thug.what a mook.
He still thinks his (self-styled) magical oratory skills will get him whatever he wants. But no matter good of a salesman you are (or think you are), a crap sandwich is still a crap sandwich, and only an idiot will buy it.
So in that sense, yeah, maybe the GOP will go for it.
