What would you like to ask?Do you feel unfairly targeted by the Obama Administration for being successful?

It seems that Obama wants to chastise hard working Americans. I need Feed back here. I feel like I am being targeted by Obama and the Democratic machine for not depending on government.

I am the first person in my family to get a college education, fully self funded. As is my wife. As we try to be successful, all I can see in every Obama speech is tearing us down as Americans for trying and succeeding without government help.

The more he intervenes the harder our lives are. Does he care?

Am I missing the Obama message?

    your right on the $$$$. OBAMA wants to divide and try to concour the WHITE HOUSE again but the soldiers are ready for the mission to seek out and VOTE for ROMNEY. So ROMNEY wins by a LANDSLIDE in 2012!!!!!

    You clearly haven't read up on the facts. There's no talk of penalizing "success," merely talk of limiting some of the tax advantages that the rich have been given and have abused, at the expense of the majority of Americans. Why should "success" mean that you are less responsible for paying the price of living in this wonderful country?

    And have you REALLY done the math? I find it hard to believe that someone who would ask such a foolish question could possibly be affected by any of this talk, anyway. Do YOU make 7 figures annually? Does the majority of your income come from investment dividends and capital gains? Judging from the fact you mention "hard work" I'm guessing that is not the case. I just find it amusing how many technically middle class, and even "poor" people are all up in arms against these suggested policy changes that could do nothing but benefit them.

    Do the math. You're doing better under O than W.

    My salary is up about 30% over Bush's reign of economic terror. My taxes are LOWER. My 401k has increased by about 80%.

    I'm pretty happy. I'd much rather have Obama chastising me than a Republican who destroys the economy, pays off rich donors, and bankrupts the country again. Not to mention starts ANOTHER middle eastern war.
