Maybe Obama is going to “Lucy” them again? Promise yearly min wage increases, to get votes, and then promptly forget about actually doing it.

“Raise the Minimum Wage to $9.50 an Hour by 2011: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that people who work full-time should not live in poverty. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage’s real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama will further raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing — things so many people take for granted.”

Yep, the turkey will do anything for a vote and he doesn’t give a whit about the country.

I'm glad they broke that promise.
