I always love it when pathological liars on the Right accuse others of lying!!!1. Let's take a look at Obama's latest offer: " Weekly Address: America Is a Place Where Hard Work Should Be Rewarded Increasing the national minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would benefit 28 million Americans, and make our economy stronger. " Weekly Address America Is a Place Where Hard Work Should Be Rewarded The White House
2. Gotta', hand it to the guy: he shamelessly jumps right into it:
The current number of employed American workers is 144 million. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, among those paid by the hour,1.6 millionAmericans earned the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour in 2012.
Reminder: 1.1 Percent of U.S. Workforce MakesMinimum...

Wadda ya' say....shoo-in for 2014 'Lie of the Year'??
Now if you notice, Obama never said there were 28 million earning minimum wage, he said raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would benefit 28 million Americans. Now the Right is against anything that benefits 28 million Americans so you know they are going to manufacture a lie.
First they create a Straw Man, in this case implying that Obama was talking about only minimum wage earners, which he clearly wasn't.
Then they attack their Straw Man with a stat that their sheep are too stupid to see through, in this case that there are only 1.6 million earning minimum wage of $7.25/hour.
Finally they leave out of their stat for the stupid all the Americans earning from $7.25 to $10.09 who would also benefit from an increase to $10.10, because they know boobs like PompousCheek are too stupid to figure out that everyone earning less than $10.10 will benefit from the increase to $10.10.
The only thing PompousCheek got right was that William F Buckley's National Review should be a shoe-in for 2014 'Lie of the Year.'
1. You really should be more careful when you toss around phrases such as "pathological liar....' because they tend to have a boomerang effect when you use it.
See....not only do you tend to be exactly that in your strained efforts to defend the indefensible....the White House Windbag.....
..but you are really, really dumb.
2. HIs meaning was quite clear, even though you are trying so hard to blur it, you know...to soften the lie.....but he is saying 28 million are working at minimum wage.
So let's start there: are there 28 million American workers working at minimum wage?
No?
Great.
So that is a lie.
3. Even you admit he said that, 'cause you blather on with this lie: "Now the Right is against anything that benefits 28 million Americans so you know they are going to manufacture a lie.
You should only open your mouth to change feet.
4. "First they create a Straw Man, in this case implying that Obama was talking about only minimum wage earners, which he clearly wasn't."
"There you go again!"

5. "....PompousCheek are too stupid to figure out that everyone earning less than $10.10 will benefit from the increase to $10.10."
Talk about stupid!!!
What moron wouldn't recognize that this would force the wages of every....every!.....category up, increasing prices, inflation, and, ultimately, obviating the increase that the Windbag is mandating!
So...in reality...it wouldn't benefit workers, and since it would cause reductions in the numbers employed......it would hurt them!
So.....what have we learned about you?
a. you're not too bright
b. you ache when the truth is told....especially about your icon
c. you lie, accusing others of lying.
Write soon! This is fun!
