    Yeah, sure Obama cares only about himself. Can you say narcissist. Just analyze his speaches. Let’s see, what’s going to happen with Obamacare is inflation. Papa Johns is just one of many business who will have to raise prices in order to compete. Oh, there’s Cook Medical, a company who was planning on expanding in the US. Because of a 2.3% tax on medical devices, the company will not be expanding in the US. With inflation looming and jobs not growing, who is this going to affect the most? The middle class.

    Confused is believing that you can tax and spend yourself into prosperity. Confused is believing that a middle class can exist in a Marxist society. If Obama is reelected, unemployment will skyrocket to Great Depression levels (20-25%) by 2014, and our middle class will be in its death throes.

    If “the rich” are soaked, as Obama promises to do, then they will cut-back on production. That is the reality of punishing productivity. My assessment is historically ACCURATE. When FDR did it, unemployment exploded. Obama is using FDR’s playbook. Hopefully, the vast majority of American voters aren’t as woefully misguided as you are.

    yohannblimu- From 1932 until 1938, unemployment dropped. In 1938, a Republican congress demanded that taxes be lowered. When that was done, it created a second recession that was only stopped by WWII and much higher taxes. The rich are hardly being soaked by returning the rates to pre-Bush levels, as was intended by inserting a sunset clause into the legislation. We have lots of productivity; what we don’t have is demand. Learn some history.

    yohannblimu- Confused is believing that firing 800,000 public workers and slashing taxes is the way to prosperity. Confused is believing that a right-centrist President is a Marxist (do you know the meaning of the word), or that the US is following Marxist principles. Confused is not knowing enough about economics to realize that the stimulus saved over 4 million jobs, and if we hadn’t fired 800,000 public workers, the rate of unemployment would be around 6.5%.

    yohannbiimu cannot be fooled by “liberal” frauds and commies. He’s totally behind those conservative capitalists who believe in HIM, and CARE about HIM, and he KNOWS they can be full faith and trust, and to prove it, he’ll show you his deeds they gave him when they sold him the Brooklyn bridge, ALL SIX OF THEM!

    Right, as if the Reich wing cares about anyone making less than a million dollars a year. Why do you think they defeated the equal pay for women bill in the house. Why do you think they forced the Dem to extend the Bush tax cuts under threat of not extending the payroll tax cut, too. Now we have Rolls and Royce to not vote for if you care about the middle class.
