Also, according to OpenSecrets Wall street has given 49 million dollars to the Democratic party this election compared to 33 million to Republicans. Gee, is this why the bill is stuck in commitee? Will Obama return this PAC money?

Neither party cares what's good for the country. THey both are interested in making more money for themselves.

Welcome to USAspending.gov
if barack knows so much about the economy, how come he is proposing a huge tax increase on the middle class and the poor. not the top 2% that everyone talks about. a tax that will affect 1/3 of all americans. he is doing this despite the fact that he knows that when the tax increases, government revenue goes down. this is literally the policies of someone who is mentally unstable.

Would you please provide links to info about the huge tax increase(s) on the middle class?

So many people come on here and start railing away with these insane statements as if they were facts, as Im sure you've noticed. Then when it turns out they dont have links they look like idiots and they lose any credibility on whatever else they post.

It's hard to take your post seriously if you dont or cant back it up. So please give links if you've got 'em.

Does this mean you're no longer considering a vote for Obama?

Must be great not taking a stance on anything while invariably trolling this board.
