Contract, people working for the contractor $10.10 minimum. he wants a full-court press on congress to file suit and make it a law for every company to pay at least $10.10. polls show democrats are smart to push the issue. as you see the nbc news wall street journal poll shows increasing minimum wage has broad support. that is actual republican voters. win or lose democrats love the issue, minimum wage and economic fairness may be the booster rocket that propel democrats to 2013 wins. let me start with nira. do you think the democrats want the minimum wage to go up or want the issue to take that the republicans are standing in the way? i think everyone which one?
With force in syria, but many of them at this hour remain unconvin unconvinced. they remain unconvinced and i think likely to remain unconvinced. go back to the statement senator mccain and senator graham put out after the president announced he was going to congress, they in effect said, look, we have more questions about this. we re not sure that this in fact goes far enough. i think particularly in the house of representatives you re going to have a group of republicans who are sort of in the neoisolationist, noninterventionist wing. you have the hawks and then this huge group in the middle that i think would like to be open to some kind of intervention in syria just because of the plain case on the ground and because of the message that it sends to bashar assad and tehran. but are nervous frankly about following this president after the sort of zigzag indecisiveness we ve seen from him not just the past week but better part of the past couple years. and we know the president an
Many other democratic leaders and actually back the president strongly on this because they know there are others in their caucus who are not so on board. so i think the bottom line is the president has a lot of work to do there. what happens next? white house officials i talked to in private very frankly say even in congress votes this down, they believe the president has executive power to move forward unilaterally anyway. after the vote in the british parliament and it went down, if this goes down in congress september 9th or some time later next week, even if the president does have that power, reagan, clinton, others used it, it s clear he probably does have that power. if he does have congress votes it down, we re going to be in an even more difficult spot. and that s why mccain today said that american credibility s on the line and it would be a debacle if congress can t push this through because the commander in chief would be in a pretty desperate position. by the way, even if
mobile payments have about 15 employees sharing strategies and meals. workers get free rent and a modest stipend. you ve got a little bit of cash here and there, your bills are covered. and some people get a little more than others. it just depends on your experience, but everybody has all their bills and needs covered. but it may not be for everyone. i think it wouldn t work for many people who weren t willing to live, eat and breathe their work. and their co-workers. but for others it does work. in fact, a couple got married just a couple weeks before moving into one of those homes. that doesn t exactly scream romance, but they said the free rent and perks were just too good to pass up. in los angeles, will car, fox news. the president and his people push congress hard to approve a strike against syria. we ll talk about with the fox all stars when we come back. hin] [ male announcer ] when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast with tums. heartburn relief that
Feel he feels it s necessary to get congress on board? his respect for the separation of powers and for the role of congress is rather minimal as he showed with suspension and provisions of health care, the creation of dream act and one executive fiat by suspending half of the immigration laws. look, this isn t a sudden stroke of constitutionalism. this is simply expediency and delay. the problem is not that he s not selling his strategy. it s that he doesn t have a strategy. and that s the reason everybody, left, right and center, has no idea what he s doing. he zigzagged left and right. he telegraphs he s going to strike, he does nothing, he calls on congress and then goes off and plays golf. when his secretary of state had given a speech the day before with remarkable urgency and passion. i think the real event that happened today is that he has mccain and graham on his right who actually are demanding a strategy. the strategy is you use the
