1. Pelosi doing a favor isn't necessarily the reason that American Samoa was exempted. If the cost of living in Samoa is low, it might not make sense to impose the minimum wage. I don't know what the cost of living is, but I bet its lower than the States.

Then by this logic other US territories with low costs of living should be exempt as well...

2. I hate to say this, but doing favors for companies in your district is completely standard and does not mean Pelosi is corrupt. Her constituents probably want that company to be healthy for the jobs it provides.

I suspect if a Repub did this you would be the first to criticize this act. But a Dem gets a pass from you... Also is it not OK for the constituents of Repub districts to want their local companies to be "healthy"?
Personally, I think a federal minimum wage is unconstitutional. It takes a VERY creative interpretation of the interstate commerce clause to say the federal govt has this power...
