Don't care he's no longer president and his policies were never geared for the middle class. I really hope we don't have to compare Obama to Bush because if we compare policies that probably means his aren't going to work.
I'd rather be focused on bettering the nation and learning from the past not comparing things to the past.

Was his "Blueprint for the Middle Class" written by the middle class?

Again, don't care...see above answer

Why can't members of the upper class help the middle class?

I was hoping they were, as my post stated, but they aren't it's filled with people who make their money being politicians and far removed from true heartland middle class.

You talk about bleeding taxpayers dry.

Yes, we are. We bail out banks give billions to them then we give taxpayers $13 extra a week.
Who is going to pay for all this? We aren't doing shit to rebuild a true tax base. Without a deep and strong tax base you have no choice but to keep going after those who can pay.

You talk about not giving a damn and being power hungry.

And I believe so far that is what we are seeing from Obama. We saw that from Bush. Obama doesn't care about middle class people, if he did he would have lived up to his "I will veto all pork" "I will make government more transparent" I have a feeling if things get worse, he'll blame Bush more and be more hidden than Bush.
He's in over his head but I have a feeling loves the power.

You talk about the country being destroyed.

Well, no strong tax base, bailing out the ultra rich with NO true idea where the money is going, times keep getting worse and no one knows what to do, but helping the banks and the ultra rich while the people starve isn't the right way to go.

But you don't talk about the program.

what program, Obama doesn't even have any ideas that are going to work.

I think your talk is hyperbolic.

We are all entitled to our opinions. That's all I'm giving is my opinion and the way I see things.
If you see things different then by all means offer up your opinion.
Nice thing about an opinion is I don't have to prove you wrong and opinions can change.
If this middle class task force starts talking to hard working true middle class citizens and truly works to build some programs that work and help, then I'll commend Obama and state I was wrong about him.... until then, it ain't happening.
