    I believe the Obama Administration wants more people in poverty. Hungry, poor people are too concerned with where the next meal is coming from to even think about how bad the Obama Administration has become since 2008.

    Our quality of life is now down to 31st place.

    we aren't going to look an progression for a on an identical time as, we are in a phase of hate the worker KA the bigger sales communities. What do you think of together as you notice the anti-union stuff precise precise right here? that there is situation for the working guy? Or how many shelter the wealthy for the reason that that they are 'interest creators'? So i'm waiting ten years,. the area's the jobs? same place Mitt shipped them ten-twelve years interior the previous? all of us understand the middle useful factors businesses are laying off floors, they may be laying off reward, wages and working longer harder hours for what they get, and so they are counseled to be grateful they have a activity. we isn't picking out up different than we p.c.. up on the reality which you won't be able to conveniently carry donating to the wealthy. that is till now than they get a tax injury...they invent a sparkling American interest. a excellent paying one.

    Americans seem to keep forgetting that it takes the President PLUS Congress AND Senate to make changes.

    And that all the promises in the world are worthless if Congress and Senate would rather play partisan politics than do the jobs they were elected for.

    Does this poverty include you?

    Last time I checked Bush's policies are mostly still in place since Obama is blocked from doing the changes he wants, so thanks for pointing out what a failure Bush's policies are!

    Could be. He was rather vague when he promised the Change You Can Believe In. Anybody paying attention can certainly believe in it.

    If you listened to what he actually said and you have any common since, Yes this is the change we were promised.

    Source(s): I listen.

    No, but apparently, it is the change people voted for. Smoke and mirrors.

    Obama is not a dictator. He may not have been very good, but Congress is a b*tch as well.

    Both parties simply wish to sabotage each other to gain power instead of working together to help the American people. It's sickening.
