::::::@PeterKa, you wrote "This is a man who once announced that he wanted a minimum wage of $100 a hour, for crying out loud." All I could find in reference to a $100/hour minimum wage seems to be from conservative commentators using a slippery slope to oppose any form of minimum wage increase. Could you please tell me more information about this Obama announcement? Thanks, [[User:GregG|GregG]] 09:28, 6 February 2014 (EST)

:::::::What can I say? I watched Obama make the speech on CNN. When he proposed the $100 hour minimum wage, his audience cheered. I don't think he was actually president yet, or this speech would have been a bigger deal. This was around the time of the 2008 election. The $100 an hour minimum wage is an old Milton Friedman favorite, his way of illustrating the absurdity of wage regulation. So I was startled to hear Obama proposing it, and I checked the transcript just to make sure I didn't mishear or anything. In any case, the speech is not on the CNN site anymore.

==Coal==
Well nuts, looks like I can’t win. My last edit was removed because it was liberal propaganda, yet the sources Jpatt used are rather liberal also. I’m racked over the coals if I dare to mix in alleged liberal sources with conservative sources yet an administrator can do so with impunity. Of well, at least this article wasn’t the embarrassment it used to be. Only if that pesky item about coal could be altered then Jpatt’s edit would reflect reality since coal only generates 37% of America’s electricity. Coal is being phased out; renewable and other non-polluting sources of energy are becoming more wide spread. It would be nice if this article could spell this out.--[[User:NormaN|NormaN]] 23:57, 15 February 2014 (EST)
