President Obama fulfills this amazing promise that not only raises the minimum wage for new federal contractors, but clearly indicates that he will act, within the authority of his office to help We D. People, when Congress fails to act .... and the post ... on a Democratic Site ... populated by leftist that claim to support raising the minimum wage ... gets 22 comments in 12 hours? But a factless, suppositional post about something that hasn't happened hits the Greatest Page in less than an hour?

Who said DU isn't about a cult of a DUmping personality?

Also notice the prolific, but absent, DUers.

Not a good look DEMOCRATICunderground!
