> The Rs are conducting any number of witch hunts in order to get to Obama.

If she had not conducted herself in a criminal manner, there was no reason for her to take the 5th. She was simply being asked about what happened.

Even YOU have to admit the IRS has stonewalled Congress; and regardless of the rationale for the investigation, no government employee ought to be doing it. But it starts at the top.

Let me tell you something...........if I were a gov't employee and I was threatened with 11 years imprisonment, I would plead the 5th too. You know why......because your pols are nuts. No matter what reasonable explanation is given, these issues which might provide Rs with a way to hang Obama never die. They never go away. In the mean time, your fucking Rs screw around on my dime.........and me and whole bunch of other people are getting really pissed. This shit may fly in your neck of the woods but it doesn't in mine. Why the hell do you think Congress has an approval rating of 8%? When the hell are you asshats gonna wake up????

>> And let me remind you.......the job of Congress is not to look for every excuse to go after a president just because he's black and a Democrat.

It didn't bother you a bit when Waxman was going after Bush. And it certainly had nothing to do with race.

It didn't bother me because Bush/Cheney was screwing up big time. Bush/Cheney were incompetent and bleeding the country dry with their frigging wars which they insisted get paid for outside the normal federal budget. Now I wonder why. What crooked jackasses..........and you voted for them.............TWICE!

Your chronic racism is really getting old.

Look. I am can't help it if a number of Rs are racists. I didn't make them that way. They made themselves that way. So get over it..........and why don't you do something about it. Like tell the racists in the GOP that that shit don't fly in 21st century America; that slavery ended a long time ago.

Job growth picks up in states that raised minimum wage
foxnews.com

WASHINGTON – Maybe a higher minimum wage isn't so bad for job growth after all.

The 13 U.S. states that raised their minimum wages at the beginning of this year are adding jobs at a faster pace than those that did not, providing some counter-intuitive fuel to the debate over what impact a higher minimum has on hiring trends.
