http://occupydemocrats.com/watch-what-happened-when-obama-praised-minimum-wage-raise-in-red-state-speech/However, instead of receiving what you would expect from this red state crowd that is portrayed by the mainstream media as being steadfastly against Pres. Obamas economic message, the speech was very well received by nearly everybody in attendance.
We went through the video and brought you the best part, a one minute segment where he lays a beautiful argument for raising the federal minimum-wage, and the crowd went wild!

That led me to donate to his campaign. I am in total agreement with every word spoken here.
This is leadership.
Don't stop hammering away with this message Mr. President.
I will give credit when credit is properly due.

(11,304 posts)they should be thanking unions for 5 day work week, health care, putting child labor laws in effect and safety issues. All important things unions took on for everyone even non union people. It is a mind set these people have. I don't understand why many vote against their own financial interests.

(11,304 posts)the area I live in. I live in the middle of nursery country. I am surround by rows and rows of bushes, trees of all kind. Also some of my neighbors have cows. I live in a very quiet area in rural Tn. Summer is beautiful here. Although a few minutes ago I went to out the back door to look at a bush next to the house and I got stung by wasps 3 times. You would have thought I knew better because it happened to me last week. In the very same foot and now it looks like a baloon and it itches and hurts. But I still love the peace and quiet.

(37,726 posts)Go out tonight with a flashlight and a can of Zippo fluid and get even with those nasty rascals!(keep flame away from lighter fluid until it evaporates) It's rained so much here the yellow jackets are building nests up off the ground. My sister had some under her vinyl siding that really laid it on her when she walked by them. She got them that night with some Raid. Wasps swell me up too, so if I see them I try to get rid of them, ASAP.
Now if our business leaders would just listen.
This message is what we need to hear from the President.
