Senator Sanders On Jobs:

[frazzled]

1. Exactly what President Obama said

President Obama used his executive authority to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers on Wednesday, declaring: “In the richest nation on earth, nobody who works full-time should have to live in poverty.”

At a signing ceremony in the East Room of the White House, Obama urged states, businesses and members of Congress to follow his lead.

I'm just wondering why that didn't count as something special. Moreover, it was Senator Harkin and Congressman Miller who introduced a bill that would extend such raise hikes to millions more workers:

A bill before Congress, introduced by senator Tom Harkin and congressman George Miller, both Democrats, would potentially increase the wages of almost 28 million workers.

Bernie's statement is a common Democratic Party mantra. I'm very glad he's repeating it. But I want to make clear that he is far from being the only Democrat to make this statement.
