Obama and the minimum wage increase

Since it is an election year, here we go again with Obama and the Democrats demanding the minimum wage be increased to 10.10 an hour and accusing the Republicans of not caring about the less fortunate. However, when the Democrats had complete power 3 1/2 years ago neither Obama or any Democrat proposed raising the minimum wage when they could have increased it by however much they wanted to. Now that Republicans control the House Obama is back to his usual political games. How shameful.

While I actually believe Obama does want to raise it somewhat, this is clearly a political move to win back the House in November.

I'm not against Obama, I just have little reason to believe he, or any one not in that situation, actually cares about the poor.
