Obama Job Approval at 51% After Healthcare Vote
Just like health reform was never going to get passed. And to put things into perspective...Bush's approval rating was 46% in May of 2004 and we all know what happened there (a stolen election).

Really? A "stolen" election? How?

Default Obama attacks "Wealth Inequality"

NYT takes the cake again...fit to print, indeed?

Economic Scene - In Health Bill, Obama Attacks Wealth Inequality - NYTimes.com

"...The bill that President Obama signed on Tuesday is the federal government’s biggest attack on economic inequality since inequality began rising more than three decades ago.

Over most of that period, government policy and market forces have been moving in the same direction, both increasing inequality. The pretax incomes of the wealthy have soared since the late 1970s, while their tax rates have fallen more than rates for the middle class and poor.

Nearly every major aspect of the health bill pushes in the other direction. This fact helps explain why Mr. Obama was willing to spend so much political capital on the issue, even though it did not appear to be his top priority as a presidential candidate"

Ok, well we'll solve that question at the ballot box.

Have your people run on a platform of making the tax system more regressive and/or cutting entitlements.

Good luck with that.

Obama does this across multiple issues, Cap & Trade is basically income redistribution under the cover of global warming, and mortgage bailouts are under the cover of assisting the common man.

It is why many of us consider Obama to have a tendency towards socialism.

As padcrasher stated, we can go ahead and fix this at the ballot box.
