Fry Cook Shifted to Part-Time Work Confronts Obama... During a Google Hangout session on Friday, fry cook Darnell Summers told President Obama that his hours were cut due to the Affordable Care Act. “We were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance,” he said. Summers explained that he makes $7.25 an hour and has been on strike four times seeking a wage increase. “We can’t survive, it’s not livin’,” he said. The president responded by urging states to increase the minimum wage. “I am working to encourage states, governors, mayors, state legislators to raise their own minimum wage,” Obama said. “Obviously, the way to reach millions of people would be for Congress to pass a new federal minimum wage law. So far, at least, we have not seen support from Republicans for such a move.” The president did not address Summers’s comments about the healthcare law.

Woman Who Can’t Afford Her Own Birth Control Scrapes Up Money to File for Congressional Run Posted by Jammie on Feb 04, 2014 at 8:11 am Gee, we hope this won’t have an adverse affect on her birth control budget. Well, California’s known for some of the dumbest women in Congress, so why not? Besides, she needs the attention. Women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke appears to be moving forward with a run for Congress. Fluke has filed with the California state Democratic Party to seek its endorsement in the race for retiring Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-Calif.) seat, according to the state party Web site. A state party delegate confirmed to Post Politics that Fluke has filed and paid the fee to appear on the ballot this weekend. Fluke hasn’t officially announced her campaign or filed with the Federal Election Commission, and she didn’t immediately return a request for comment. But filing for the state party’s endorsement means she’s now officially part of the process. The state party begins its endorsement process on Sunday afternoon at its local pre-endorsement conference, with the process culminating at the state party convention next month. Just what Congress needs, another attention whore.
