The world is burning so Obama's weekly address is about minimum wage [video]

Well, maybe he hasn’t seen the news yet.

"States where the minimum wage has gone up…have experienced higher job growth than the states that haven’t" —Obama: http://t.co/VSVyPDFaNv

@jusleanica @WhiteHouse ppl are able to be concerned about more than one thing at a time

.@WhiteHouse how about encouraging them to get better paying job instead of encouraging a nation of fry cooks? What a way to #ReachHigher

@BrandonHoover @WhiteHouse how about paying the ppl who cook for you a fair wage instead of expecting them to live in poverty

@Xaxsan @WhiteHouse low & min wage jobs are meant for kid joining the work force not adults raising a family.
