LOL

Under Obama the top 1% has gained 93% of the growth in income. This is the worst it has been since they started measuring it.

I think it would be impossible for Romney to help millionaires as much as Obama. Remember Obama's new jobs are at 70% of the pay of the jobs lost.

Growth of Income Inequality Is Worse Under Obama than Bush « naked capitalism

#1 I don't think Obama is communist.

#2 Obama's policies are backfiring and harming the middle class.

What policies? Name an Obama policy or a congressional bill not filibustered or killed by Repubs.
Millionaires "such as Obama" - nobody else? No Republican billionaires? The 1% is full of Democrats?
A picture is emerging here - it's just about Obama but you refuse to say it. Right...
The black guy with the big ears won fair and square - get over it.

You guys are so full of it. Obama had control of congress for 2 years. You imagine filibusters that don't exist. You can't filibuster a budget. Yet Democrats use that as an excuse for why the Democrats in the Senate have not even PROPOSED a budget. The Republican House has passed more bills and sent it to the Democratic Senate than vice versa -- including a passed budget out of the house. Meanwhile it is 5.6 Trillion in debt and counting.

The repub budget had attachments which included cuts for all the programs they have always hated. It was a sham budget - designed so that Fox news could say that Repubs offered something sensible and was refused by Obama. A PR budget designed to "fix" a spending imbalance which Republicans (and probably some blue dogs) created.
No problem with spending up until 2008, right - and now it's a problem! And you are, of course, repeating all the talking points.
BTW don't preach on the budget since Repubs spend like crazy when in office,without a whimper. That is their adopted plan - spend while in office, then complain about spending when out of office (the "dual santa clause" theory).
Where did the debt and spending imbalance come from since Reagan? your hero Cheney doesn't believe debt is a problem, for one.
This thread is about Romney so what will he do? Just Republican "business as usual" prior to 2008 - feeding Wall Street.
Since you will not describe the Republican plan for Social Security, I will do so after giving you a chance to say it first.

how is obama not compromising,when he offered then a debt reduction deal
of 3 to 1 spending cuts to tax increases.

also the debt commision idea was the repubs,obama endorsed it then the repubs ran
away from it.

reform,they didnt take it.

Wake up the point is Obama's plan for SS is to kick the can down the road while destroying the claim that SS is self-funding. This is not a plan. Any plan is better than none. The different Republican plans aren't perfect - they are a start. That is the point! Obama isn't a leader, not by any definition. He can't even get votes for his budget.

Yes Republicans have added to the debt. Yes they are partially to blame. They have the best plan so far. Where is the Democrat budget in congress? It does not exist. Obama's budget failed miserably - no votes. Once again.....Obama is not a leader. Hillary should have challenged him and won. She can lead better than him.

* I have not heard of an Obama plan for Social Security. You can enlighten me here. I know others are working on it. Please contribute.
* OK so you admit Repubs ran up the debt, but you had no objection at the time - the question is why not. Have you posted your consternation about it before now? I venture to say that you, in fact, supported any spending the repubs wanted to do. So freakin' transparent!
* Describe this "best plan" and why it is so. I'm giving you a chance to explain why the Paul Ryan budget is good, if that's what you're talking about.
* Obama issued a budgetary plan which included infrastructure upgrades, job training, closing tax loopholes, along with tax hikes on dividends - the wealthy who pay a lesser rate than working Americans. Also letting Bush's tax breaks expire - as Republicans planned it to do, and now oppose their own plan.
* You mean Hillary could lead YOU better, for whatever reason - that's all it's about. And why would Hillary, a Democrat, be better to lead you?
