Accumulation of wealth does NOT take wealth from others

How is that different than the what the so-called "divider" Obama is doing?

And then when you consider how many people that would be affected by the Right's attack on the poor vs how many people would be affected by Left's attack on the 1%, it's not even comparable which one is actually "class warfare."
You dont understand the difference between allowing people to keep their own money, which is NOT dividing, and claiming that you should take wealth from others to perpetuate poverty, do you?

You really dont understand this? Unbelievable..

But the folks on welfare need more welfare so they can come off welfare.
The welfare they get today isn't fair enough so they need more to help them rise above the need for welfare.
You don't see that ??

I reject your attempts to set up a strawman. No one's talking about wealth. We're talking about dividing the country through rhetoric and engaging in class warfare. These are YOUR points.

You're saying Obama's guilty of this b/c he's using one group as the scape goat for America's fiscal situation. You have yet to show how that's not the exact same thing the Right does to the poor.

So anytime you feel like explaining how the Right isn't using the poor to engage in class warfare...

THE GOP DOESNT SUPPORT TAKING FROM THOSE ON WELFARE AND GIVING IT TO THE 1%.

And if you dont undersand this, then I'd have to question if you are old enough to be posting here.

Default Can't unite with Repubicans

Unity, inclusion, fairness, equity are foreign to the Right, so President Obama's noble goal of uniting with the idiotic, bigoted contingent from the Right makes about as much sense as a fly to trying make a bargain with a spider.

Noble goals by this exceptional President, but the country has been deeply hampered by Republicans. Remember, when this President acts without Republican interference in Congress, he's successful. For instance, he was able to get bin Laden when Bush and Republicans couldn't even come close.

Thumbs down on Republican obstructionism and worthlessness. A second term for this noble, talented, and effective President.

...and don't you forget it either.

I know from the start he wasn’t going to be able to unite the country. He vastly underestimated white racist.
