Walmart Wages, Does Obama Love America? Violent Extremism

Walmart announced it will raise wages for about 500,000 Walmart employees. President Obama likes to say "America deserves a raise." Is it enough? Former New York Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani claims President Obama doesn't love America. As Bob Scheer said, what is he talking about? Governor Scott Walker didn't complete his college education. Does that matter? The White House held a conference on violent extremism. Should President Obama avoid the phrase radical Islam?
