Oh boy lol, people tipping less, everyone paying more taxes, middle class getting a small paycheck, printing presses going full steam. Are we having fun yet? Obama said he is coming after more of our money.

Just think! He's got 4 more years. Better buy a box on the corner because that's all you will be able to afford by the time he's done with us.

True, but to be fair, the deficit has been reduced each of the last three years. It ballooned in 2009 because of the recession, and because the cost of the wars was calculated into the budget rather than as a supplemental.

Thank you Obama for making it so dam easy that my dog could get a mortgage. Thank you for helping perpetuate the housing crash.

You know, pretty much the exact same thing you disliked Bush for. Only difference is I dislike Bush also.
Here, let me help you...

Thank you Obama for letting me breath today. Oh so wonderfull Obama, thank you for letting me eat some food today. Thank you for letting me keep just a tiny bit of the purchasing power i earned while working in the coal mine to help feed my family of 6. Oh thank you sir for sending me my grandma's ocial security check which thanks to you, only buys a third of what it did just a few short years ago. Thank you sir for taking some of my hard earned purchasing power and having the sweet heart to give it to wealthy war mongers which only earn billions a year. Oh and those poor banks sir...ooohhh are they in pain, thank you for sending the part of my check to make sure they dont pay for their careless mistakes. Oh sir and even though i dont need healthcare, thanks for grabbing another piece and funneling it to healthcare companies that also only extort billions out of the government. Thank you for sending another chunk to banks to 'save' home owners, oh poor homeowners that only forgot to read the contract whenthey signed.

And the most painful, dear sir obama, the unions sir. Thank you for taking some of my check and sending it to them. The 15 tax hikes they bullied my rep to pass were just not enough for them. Poor souls only get to retire and head to florida at 40 while the rest of us are just too cheap and can't retire till 85, right before dying.

Thank you sir Obama. May the lord keep you on his thoughts oh so wonderful sir...

She did not make enought to thank bush, since the very wealthy reap the biggest benefits of his 10 year tax break for the wealthy. The people that you really should thank is that useless congress that can't manage to pull their heads out of norquist's butt

Maybe next time I'll wake up and bow at the feet of my rulers thanking them for allowing me to keep money I've earned.
Without the borrowing that funded unemployment payments, stimulus spending and the social safety net, you would have been far worse off with the depression that was avoided, that may have cost you your job.

So you mean your evil rich boss appropriated $40 of your alleged raise so he could increase his income and pay more in his taxes to evil Obama? Your boss should pay himself $1/year salary and give away the rest to the peons like yourself in order to beat Obama' tax hike and starve the beast at last. Suggest him this patriotic idea and keep us posted.
