Great accomplishments? Why would I be against raising the minimum wage?

If Bush is the one to credit because he signed the bottom of all the good policies, then he should be the sole one to blame for signing bad policies that got us into this mess and no blame can be placed on the Dems (or Repubs for that matter) that are in the legislature.

We all must remember that specific laws signed into place are always bundled with dozens, if not hundreds, of pages of other "laws". That said, signing off on a minimum wage increase could have been a concession made to have other legislation put through. Unfortunately, i don't have time to look up specifics right now.

We have a Legislative Branch for a reason and in most situations, the President is advised to sign as opposed to actually reading every one that passes his desk.
