Blow to Obama as Harry Reid suddenly withdraws Senate Democratic support for minimum wage hike
The majority leader quietly pulled the president's minimum wage bill from the Senate calendar on Tuesday
Reid blamed the delay on Republicans.
Action followed a scathing Congressional Budget Office report predicting the loss of 500,000 jobs if the wage floor rises to $10.10 per hour
Vulnerable Senate Democrats have shied away from the proposal, choosing to protect their re-election chance in November
Harry Reid simply can't move forward with this idea unless he wants to surrender the Senate in November,' a senior aide to a Senate Republican told MailOnline on Wednesday.
'There's just no way he's going to go down in history as a greater job-killer than he already is.'

Golly, it just brings tears to my eyes to see what a guy Ried really is, always looking out for the little guy, and all... I guess no "sacrifice" is too great for the cause, whatever that is.

I'm surprised it took you guys this long to see who Reid really is for, Reid and only Reid. We do it my way or not at all period

Too bad the Republicans and especially the TEA party haven't realized this. Maybe then they would have put up a viable candidate to run against him a couple years ago instead of the whack job they did nominate. Morons. Reid says he's going to run for re-election in 2016. Hope the Republicans can pull their heads out of their asses and come up with a better candidate this time.

I am a staunch Conservative and I totally agree with you in the overall gist of your statement..
The Republican party spends so much time killing each other that they seem to be unable to find anyone to run against the Democratic candidates....
