He's more than that. He is attempting to be the destroyer of the upper class as well.

Actually the FACTS seem to say otherwise. Average income increased last month and more and more people are working after the failed conservative agenda left us with an economy that was shedding almost 800,000 jobs a month. I will compare Obama's record with Bush's any day.
Bush:'
Doubled unemployment
Stock market loss of 50%
No job growth in his first four years....in spite of ADDING thousands of government jobs
Steady decline in manufacturing
Year long recession leading toward a depression
Obama:
Stemmed a rapidly growing unemployment rate and it has been steadlly declining
Stock market up 100%
Added jobs his first three years, in spite of drastic cuts in government jobs
Steady increase in manufacturing
More than a year of constant job growth
Two years of economic expansion
I guess the lesson to be learned here is that Obama can't be held responsible for what happened during the recession that began on George W Bush's watch. STOP BUYING INTO RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA!

No, he is just one man. The middle class is being destroyed by many factors. Loss of Unions, Loss of manufacturing job, Outsourcing, Tax laws that are designed to 'starve the beast' and that beast provided many of the steps up from lower to middle class like College.
Obama has done little because he has been stopped by Republicans in the Senate and House.
from your link:
“It started long before Obama, but he hasn’t done anything,” said John Forsyth, 58, a railroad-car inspector and political independent from Lebanon, Ohio. “He kept pushing this change, change, change, and he hasn’t done anything.”

Obama is the destroyer of all that the U.S.A. has ever stood for. He is a very dangerous and traitorous man. To trust him is to put yourself and all you believe in in peril. Never before has there been an anti-American president and if we don't stop him now it will be a catastrophe for all of us. Why would one to see trust glaring them in the face and continue to believe believe. Why would hypocrisy and cheating be so obvious and yet people are turned on by a smile and lies that they know are like cotton candy, meant to deceive.
Every great nation has fallen because of a charmastic, smooth talker that promises all and then makes subjects of the people depriving them of their needs and most basis rights.

Of course. Liberals have always been at war with the middle class. The American middle class opposes their left wing extremist ideology, and the only way to make somebody a liberal.. is to force them into poverty and put them on the government teat.

bush and company already destroyed a large part of the upper middle income, and middle income families.
