As I sit here listening to his scolding of politicians to a caged audience, I can't help but feel like I'm watching something from 30s Europe. All the speechmaking is so deliberate. Would he be getting applause from middle America, from the heartland, from mom and pop business owners? How about standing in front of the people that you want to tax, instead of union and public workers.

This is sickening and shallow.

PS... every time he mentions a business in his speeches they tend to go under a few weeks later.

So factory workers are not middle Americans? They are not the heartland? Business owners are the only true Americans?

Nice way to read the opposite of what I said. Are union workers the only true Americans? By your logic Obama must think so.

He likes to at least tour the places that his policies will shutter in about 6mo-1yr after his visit.

Maybe Obama should speak at gun shows, NASCAR races, and gospel revivals.

Maybe he should go to local bars and talk to the disabled tea party members?
