This House Democrat Just Admitted That Obama Is Pushing for Minimum Wage to Score Political Points

We’ve long suspected that President Obama and House Democrats’ sudden interest in increasing the minimum wage was their attempt to distract Americans from ObamaCare’s disastrous roll-out and the stagnant economy. One House Democrat finally just admitted it.

During an interview on MSNBC, Ohio Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan stated that “we’ve got to obviously use this as an issue throughout this year and see how it plays in the fall and we’ve got to energize the base.”

Democrats can try to distract all they want. Unfortunately for them, Obama’s record of cancelled plans, broken promises, and skyrocketing health premiums is far higher on voters’ minds.

From PJ Media:

The congressman said the discussion “is going to be about family values. That’s what the minimum wage is about.” But he also called it an issue for midterm elections.

“That’s why I think the president has to act and he has to act boldly. And then we’ve got to obviously use this as an issue throughout this year and see how it plays in the fall and we’ve got to energize the base,” Ryan said.
