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.”

Rev Wright got the mooch to marry bath house Barry for a price. Probably the only capitalist market based transaction he’s ever been a party to.
I don’t know what he thinks he has to break down—The GOP can’t wait to roll over for him.
It's easier when you set your sights that low.
Only Obama would be stupid enough to see getting fat Michelle to marry him, as a victory of some kind.
If the Fed and the treasury keep creating huge amounts of money out of thin air, there will sooner or later be an increase in the minimum wage. But, prices will be rising also, leaving the minimum wagers no better off.
Old World War I slogan: “Victory is a question of stamina.” Lefties, of course, apply it to all the wrong things.
No, he got Michelle to marry him because they both needed beards.
A strategy tested and proven successful in New York.

Yup. Obama knows that Boehner and his RINOs must be kept cowed in submission.
Ponder this:
Now that Obama has removed the US Marines and the US Army, (Obamacode: “boots on the ground”), from the Russian and Militant Muslim Theaters of War, both Russia and the Militant Muslims know that they are assured of quickly obtaining ground control of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Both the Russians and the Militant Muslims know that their rapid ground advances will end once the Impeachment Proceedings begin on Obama.
Russia needs to have land and Naval control of the north shore of the Black Sea and western Turkey in order to have unfettered access from its only warm water Naval port in Crimea to the Mediterranean Sea.
With the Militant Muslims, (al Qadea, al Sharia, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, ISIS, etc., etc., etc.), controlling the land transport of much of the World’s Oil, and Russia’s Navy controlling the Eastern Mediterranean shipment of Oil, Israel would have no choice but to become a neutral Nation - - - the “Switzerland” of the Middle East.
The Democrat control of the US Senate and Administration, has resulted in a strategy of Domestic Financial weakness, betrayal to America’s Allies, and exponentially emboldened Military planners in Russia and the Muslim Militant community.
Will Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner continue to financially support the Obama-Reid-Jarrett Regime Strategy of ceding control of the Eastern Mediteranian/Middle East to the Russians and Militant Muslims?
Nobody can kill jobs faster than Obama.
his “marriage” was ‘arranged’ by the person who introduced them, our de facto President and his handler... Valerie
You should have gone straight “Would you like to be Emperoress ?”
