Obama has extended bush tax cuts, extended Q.E. Longer than it was intended, and has given the rich a record amount of wealth. While squeezing the middle class.
Any added jobs can be credited to the Fed. No other president had the luxury of free money. This is the largest corporate welfare in history.
WRONG..
The republicans in CONGRESS, extended the BUSH tax cuts, costing the deficit 3.1 trillion dollars spread over the next ten years begining in 2011. The GOP held the cuts over President Obamas head or they would shut down the government and not approve any of his plans to save the country.
The president had no choice.
It wasnt OBAMAS idea to ram that through again.
The middle class was DESTROYED by the previous 8 years of bush, and the recovery had victims. The middle class always takes the brunt of any recovery and the rich always come out further ahead than the middle class persons. Been that way since the begining of this country.
Corporate welfare has been around long before president Obama took office and to try and blame him for it is simple ignornance of how this country works.
To repair this country, it had to repair the very structure that keeps it going. That took BILLIONS of dollars.
That money had to come from somewhere, and corporate America was CUTTING jobs before Obama took office and NOT creating jobs even though they recieved the largest TAX CUT in history under GW BUSH.
Today, growth is steady and in every large city. There are giant projects all over this country. In downtown los angeles alone, there are 5 simultaneous skyscrapers being built employing thousands of workers.
You can see the same in Phoenix, Tucson, Dallas, Houston etc etc etc...
There is no free money. Somebody has to pay for it, and BUSH saddled the middle class with that COST for the next two decades.
The people want to believe that the damage done by BUSH to this country stopped the day he walked out of office, and they dont understand the length of time the damage was spread over.
Its alot easier to blame the black guy for something he didnt create. That, somehow makes sense to them.
The depth of the damage caused by BUSH and the republican led policies will be felt and paid for by children who today are only 5 years old.
From the wars, to tax cuts for the rich, a ridiculous prescription drug bill that remains unpaid, the collapse of the banking industry, the collapse of a housing market that bush promoted with his HOMEOWNERSHIP society program, to the wiping out of the stock market to the closing of over 55,000 factories, the damage to the very core of the USA was so deep it will take at least two decades to repair.
You say that under Obama, the rich got richer, but yet, you want to support a candidate who would give the RICH another tax cut while raising YOUR cost of living.
That makes no sense.
But you are a republican, and that sez it for you.
TOS.
