Obama's new lowered American standard makes it a crime against society to make money. small business owners who are true friends of the masses because they employ most Americans are branded by the MSM as evil, selfish one-percenters. Welcome to Obama's new standard of what it means to be an American; achievers demonized, deadbeats with their hands out sainted.

Several Democrats are multimillionaires. The Obamas eat only $150-a-pound Kobe beef. Three of Michelle Obama's vacations cost taxpayers one million dollars. And yet Obama and his liberal friends suffer no criticism and are portrayed by the MSM as heroes of the 99 percent.

While Obama does not specifically say these words, his re-election message is clear. If you hate achievers as much as I, vote for me.

He tries to act like he can relate. Spare me that bs. He cant relate. He is long removed from his cocaine days. He is part of the wealthy establishment, celebrity crowd now, who only enjoys the finer things in life while he blasts Romney and others for being wealthy and "out of touch". If anyone is out of touch, its Obama. The average American doesnt grow up with a Communist mentor and others who impression him with this negative view of America

Obama is a hyprocrite. I started a thread about the American Dream showing this video, but I think it is also fitting here.

Wow, does that ring a bell Gal from the South, that is a good video. My grandparents also from a socialist country told us the same thing.

Thomas Peterffy grew up in socialist Hungary and he has seen what it does to people. There is no hope, no freedom and no pride in achievement. As a little boy he always dreamed of coming to America. Despite the fact that he could not speak English when he immigrated to the United States in 1956, Thomas fulfilled the American dream. With hard work and dedication, he started a business that today employs thousands of people.

The rich will have poorer but the poor will also be poorer. I guess people don't learn.

If people would think, why is it that so many people want to come to the U.S. I guess now it will be because of the American dream, now it's to get foodstamps. Until that runs out and we become Greece.

It's sad but seemingly true. Many people have the attitude, "What's in it for me?" As long as they are promised an Obamaphone, foodstamps, free birth control, or their "fair share" of a rich person's hard-earned income, then they'll vote for Obama regardless of his devious plan to "fundamentally change America." They don't care about the country as a whole. How soon people forget, "Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." We are living in an ever-increasing society of lazy people who have the definition of "greed" totally backwards.

And the president continues to spin, the spin-meister at work tonight. He is scaring business away. If he is re-elected the money to pay for your raise, or your job, forget about it, that money goes to the government.

Yea Romney is a huge underachiever, being America's first black president. Please point out to me which living head of state you are so I can compare you to him in how much you've achieved in life.
