1. He has increased the welfare state and dependency on the government far more than any other President in recent times. If you didnt work and he gave you free things wouldnt you vote for him? Woud you care what the unemployment rate was?

2. The population is dumber. The hero worship on this guy is like nothing Ive ever seen before. The unemployment rate is higher than when he took office. Sad...

Fact...

You're oh so wrong.

Ever hear of FDR? You know, the guy who held the presidency longer than anyone else?

I guess from me working with veterans and the sick and elderly, I feel that many times that I get to see a special insight that many don't see or just ignore, until it is their time. The people who are well off and comfortable look down on the poor and unfortunate and call them freeloaders. The people that are young and healthy feel that healthcare for those who don't have adequate care feel that they are wasting tax dollars with phony illnesses. Those with good paying jobs feel that those who don't have one are not trying hard enough. When have we become a country of people who don't give a damn about those who do not have the same things as we? Someone making 250,000 a year looks at someone on welfare the same way as a billionaire looks at them, but for some reason the majority of us don't see it that way. Mitt and his crew has done just that, they have mind*****ed people into turning on each other over what amounts to be pennies so that they can continue to make billions. When was the last time that you seen a millionaire or billionaire march because they are paying too much taxes? Never! They get those making 50,000 to 100,000 a year to do it for them
