The right also wants to go to war with Cuba, Iran and any other Country that they disagree with...... Got it now?
Fairer? How? We already have 40% or more of Americans not paying any income taxes, and the CEO of the corporation which paid ZERO income taxes last year, is sitting on the board as an adviser to Obama.

Obama has had three years to make the taxes fairer, and all he has done is passed the buck, and kept current tax rates in place, all the while conducting a class warfare campaign to demonize anyone making over $200,000 and dividing the nation.

It's campaign time, and Obama is acting like he has been on Mars the past three years, and is making all new promises to fix all the things he has been freaking ignoring.... and the drones and fools buy up his campaign rhetoric, as if "he really means it this time.... honest".

Unlike you, I know history... try educating yourself before running your mouth internet toughguy
Who was President in fall 2008? When the Economic Crisis occurred? Who bailed out the companies and Wall Street? HMMMM?

Care to debate whether the auto bailout was a good idea?

Apparently, you don't know much of anything.

In 2008, Obama rushed back from his campaign, to vote in favor of the bailouts, and as a US senator he voted for every bill Bush signed into law. I know this, because Obama voted with the democratic majority 99.9% as a US senator.

Do you know why 47% pay no taxes? Care to guess what the cutoff is for a family of 4?

So Obama is no more or less to blame than the entire Congress.

Bush was President, so guess what? It's HIS legacy.

Partisan dillweeds.

It is a shame that the right has used the past three years just objecting to every idea coming from te left, even if it was a idea that they had previously supported and still support.
This tactic of spending all of their efforts telling America how Obama is destroying America... they were saying this before Obama even entered the Whitehouse... is showing more and more American's that the GOP want to get into the Whitehouse by getting Obama voted out and NOT the Republican party being voted in. This is a extremely dangerous tactic especially as Obama's policies are now getting America back on track..... Even the Republican front runner, Romney, agrees that the economy is improving. The Right has made the Economy it's "poster boy" for voting out obama.... not much "wiggle room" leading to the election if unemployment continues its downward trend and the economy continues to improve. Thank goodness there are many many evangelicals in the Re;ubican party as it looks like much prayer is going to be needed to turn America back into the recession that Bush left us with, believe me the Republicans would prefer that to Obama getting a second term and getting Americans back to work.
Radicals are and always will be dangerous for any Country or group and they don't come more Radical than the testosterone filled right wingers. They look upon America as their own private club that has a exclusive membership with the rest of us looking in from the outside and being "ENVIOUS".
Obama has a extremely good chance of being re-elected but who can say what will happen in the USA over the next10 months.
Americans do however know the choices............. Obama working for fairness and to reunite ALL of America or the Republican nominee working for the weathy and causing the Country to go back three years to a new recession caused by the rights feeling of entitlement, elitism and corporation greed.
When Obama wins his second term i hope that the right will give up their quest to get into power at any cost.... work closely with democrats for the benefit of America and use the four years until a Presidential Election rebuilding the GOP..... if they don't then they are not fit to take office as they are not fit now.
This is the kind of post the GOP needs to listen to. Thank you.

Obama loses in a landslide, as did Carter.

Obama's Wall Street bailout failure - U.S. Economy - Salon.com

» Obama’s Back Door Bailout of Wall Street - Big Government

The auto bailout was ok but they should have been allowed to fail

You are too blindly partisan to know the truth that Obama is just like Bush and will be the same as Romney

They are in bed with the same handlers..... educate yourself

Wall St running the White House is not the answer
