   This implies Biden ever had a brain. Did O destroy the rich and now he’s going after the middle class?

   No, the rich can afford to fight back, so he’s going after the defenseless middle class. Nobody’s got their back.

   Even Bill Maher got it right last night: “Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter”. Or “Obama made a lot of great points tonight. Unfortunately, most of them were for Romney”. Jim Lehrer couldn’t have looked more out of place. Obama spent the evening stuttering and looking at his shoes, like someone on his first job interview. Romney was animated and articulate, and gave everybody a good feel for how he’ll handle the Presidency. All in all, a nice evening and morning.

   Wonder if Maher is rethinking his $1,000,000 contribution?

   Is the man looking for the middle class in the cartoon above a fact finder sent by the Obama campaign to figure out how much damage they’ve perpetuated on the American people?

   Obama was not looking at his shoes, he was taking notes, as both were doing. Decision for Romney, if this was a university debate, but it is not. Romney’s effective delivery masked some critical deficiencies in his alleged tax policy.

   It was up to Obama to challenge any “critical deficiencies” in Romney’s tax policy. Either Obama is in over his head or he chose not to mention deficiencies because he can’t defend that point of view.

   I saw Obama looking down A LOT. I’ll allow that he took some notes but nothing in camera angles would show enough evidence to substantiate a comment that he was taking notes every time he looked down. Contrast that to Romney’s demeanor of being more focused on what was happening in the room. Who looked more in control and presidential? Just part of Romney winning the debate. If Obama took notes every time he looked down he should have had waaaay better responses.

    The absurdity of the ’toon is of course, that “Reaganomics”, taken to extreme under “W”, is exactly what buried the “middle class”, while elevating the 1% to heights not seen since the the demise of feudalism. Oh, wait, “Reaganomics” IS feudalism.

    If Reaganomics is fedualism, then Obamanomics is pure Marxist Soviet Socialism combined with extreme Mao Tse Tung Red China despotism, complete with Obama grinding his own people into the ground, killing millions, starting with infanticide, and ending with anyone who dares oppose him. No wonder the middle class is buried.

    Bush used Reaganomics. Bush increased government spending and the size of government. Regan at least tried to cut it back.

    How do you give an effective critique on complex tax issues in two minutes with a moderator breathing down your neck?

    Reaganomics is not the cause of the middle class being “buried” the last 4 years…..the recession began in 2007 and was officially over and done with by June 2009….
    …the Obama administration is responsible for screwing up a normal recovery from a financial crisis recession…
    from an IBD.com article today..
    .“..how dismal Obama’s recovery has been, consider this: since WW2 there have been 10 recoveries before Obama’s. Had Obama merely performed as well as the average of all those 10 recoveries, the nation’s GDP would be a staggering $1.2 Trillion bigger than it is today, and 7.9 million more people would have jobs.” (“Obama’s Re-Election Case Rests on 5 Phony Claims”…by John Merline 10/3/12 at www.news.investors.com…
