He loves his rich cronies (the ruling class). He's spent five years helping the wealthy increase their wealth while ensuring that jobs are scarce with his "kill the jobs" programs.

Yes, it's business as usual under Crony Capitalist Obama. The rich get richer and the working class get screwed.

"According to Sentier Research, median real household income is 5 percent lower than when the Great Recession ended in June 2009. The decline has actually been steeper during the Obama recovery than in the Bush recession. Meanwhile, reports the Associated Press, “the gap in employment rates between America’s highest- and lowest-income families has stretched to its widest levels since officials began tracking the data a decade ago.”

“The folks in the middle and at the bottom haven’t seen wage or income growth,” President Obama told ABC this month as if he were an innocent bystander to the U.S. economy.

But his initiatives have been a key driver of income inequality.

A Gallup poll of 600 small companies under $20 million this summer found 41 percent have frozen hiring due to the president’s signature achievement, Obamacare. But Big Hospital and Big Pharma, with their armies of government lobbyists, have thrived with hospitals due to reap $2 billion in Michigan alone from Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.

In the energy sector, thousands of coal miners have lost their jobs as the Obama administration has waged a War on Carbon. In favoring green alternatives, the administration has showered wealthy pals like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Fisker Automotive investors with hundreds of millions in taxpayer loans. And for the well-to-do buyers of their Obama-preferred, $100,000 chariots? They get a further $7,500 taxpayer subsidy."

How can anyone say that with a straight face, when the Tea Party that so venomously opposes everything the Obama administration tries to do was started by, and funded by, and primarily benefits the ultra rich?

Wait, so Obama hates the rich because he wants to tax them in order to help poor people...but he really loves the rich because he's helping them out with an uneven recovery? Which really isn't his responsibility, because democratic policies are destroying the economy.

It amazes me when people believe so many contridictory things at the same time. No wonder they are unbalanced. Like the people who think Obama is a crazy Christian, secular atheist marxist, and radical islamist all at the same time.

So is this the new two minute hate? Obama's no longer a communist dictator, he's a corrupt capitalist out to enrich the already wealthy?

It's hard to keep up with the crazy.

So, you agree with the facts in the OP. That's what I thought.
