Fighting for the bottom 98% ? Hogwash. How about his crony buddies, his political bros, his collectivist soul mates, his narcissitic self?

Can you say Solyndra? SEIU? ACORN? Fast and Furious gun-running to push his gun control agenda? Illegal NLRB preference for unions and EPA regulatory stranglehold on business and the economy? Ideological energy policy that decreases supply and increases the cost of everything? Expansion of the welfare state to keep his proletariat constituency pacified so that illegals continue to be enticed to come and work the “jobs that Americans won’t take because [years of] unemployment compensation is more lucrative than the minimum wage”?

Welcome to national dysfunction…

Zero is just another fast-talking, self-serving, anti-capitalist who uses the “poor and downtrodden” as chips in his globalist poker game. Add it all up and he’s as anti-American as they come.

The anger is not about what Obama is as a “moderate” – whatever that is today. The anger from people like me is that he rolls over and caves without a fight. I really like the “new” fighter that is emerging. And, he hasn’t “moved sharply left”. He is simply fighting for the bottom 98% of the country instead of pandering to the Republican base – the top 2%.

Sandune – above – has it right. The Republicans are against ANYTHING Obama is for. It makes absolutely no difference if Obama is liberal, moderate, or if he adopts all Republican positions – the Republicans say no to EVERYTHING!

This is ridiculous! All Americans face a shortage of cash now and again and we don’t waste time trying to go over our checkbooks looking for the money to clear us up. We sell something, or refinance something, or like President Obama, we take from one investment and give it to another.

We have to cut back on the loop holes as well as cutting our costs of government until the labor force can grow and pay us back our debts.

Obama’s plan to take on a million or so new workers to bring our infrastructure up to par will take a lot of money. Where else can we accrue this much financial base to pay for the workers?

The Conservatives would tear apart any plan from the White House as they believe bringing down the white house will gain them a position of leadership.

I hope it doesn’t. Our government is on a precarious pitch at this time and the Conservatives will be celebrating the decline when we fall. At one time, this might have been an effort of treason because their attacks on Obama are attacks on all Americans.
