Dems, aren't you upset that Obama turned out to be just another neocon who steals from the poor and gives to the wealthy?

    Actually this is what usually happens when the Democrats are in control.

    They talk a good game of helping the poor and the middle class and even throw them a few crumbs.

    While they do this they are enriching themselves and their backers at our expense.

    So in the end the middle class gets hurt almost every time the Democrats are in control.

    I am a liberal, not a Democrat (not the same thing!) I voted for Obama because I saw him as the lesser of two evils, but you know how they say the lesser of two evils is still an evil. 8^<

    I feel vindicated in my choice. I do think Obama's done a MUCH better job overall than McCain or Romney would have done. But yes, I'm also disappointed that he as more or less signed on to the 'war on the middle class'. 95% of his recovery has gone to the top 1%. At least the job situation has improved considerably.

    no one with even the slightest lean toward conservatism would support this madman. Marxism is a failed political agenda and regardless of Obama's support almost all the gop do and should no better than to back it. with that in mind, your question/rant has no answer as there is no basis in fact. there is no "just another" with Hussein. he is a con artist, Marxist and liar in a league all by himself.

    Yeah, but he's socially liberal, and infinitely better than the republican alternatives. And he's a corporatist, not a neocon.

    It is Obama's objective to make his political buddies wealthy.... and blame it on the big bad evil corporations. That's exactly what he did with Solyndra.

    I have said it before and I will say it again; most wealth is invested, so when stocks, bonds, or other investments increase, those WITH ASSETS see an increase in wealth. Only 50% of Americans are investing, so the other 50% are always going to complain about the RICH!!!

    I'm 'upset' at republicans who whine about Obama being 'just like a republican' because republicans in congress filibustered 505 pieces of legislation that helped all Americans in the past 6 years. If you wanted Obama to do something different from the previous admin's 8 years of failed republican policies, you should be outraged over the actions of republicans in congress.

    Poor and middle class keep getting poorer

    The rich keep getting richer.

    All happened for 6 years and will continue for all 8 years of Obama.

    How could you? You just told an ignorant child that there is no such thing as Santa Claus on Christmas Day! Don't destroy their illusions that he brings "hope and change"... its all they have to hold onto: their illusions that he isn't just like BUSH!

    They don't realize it, but Socialist policies do just that. They create a new economic elite – the bureaucrats – who leech off the "good intention" policies of the lawmakers...
