President Barack Obama says the U.S. can take steps to ensure more people can join and stay in the middle class.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama is echoing themes from his State of the Union address. He says some of his ideas require Congress, but he’ll take steps on his own where he can. …

Certainly he means help those that were previously in higher classes “join the middle class” . . . himself and those millionaire Congressmen excluded, of course.

“President Barack Obama says the U.S. can take steps to ensure more people can join and stay in the middle class.”

There he goes again. Next week he’ll declare that anyone with a job is “rich”.

That’s not far from the truth. In his worldview, people should live comfortably on government handouts and temp work. Those people are his vision of a middle class.

To Obama, anyone who has a traditional “job” (i.e. long-term work with benefits, good pay, and a chance for upward mobility) is “rich”. Everything he does is done to create (fundamentally transform) an America where that is the standard.

Clown Prince nobama should be a bathroom attendant in a back-water casino. That is the limit of his “competence” (possibly beyond it).

Every time this bastard starts talking about “helping the middle class” I feel a shakedown coming.

For an “incompetent”, he sure has done more to change America into a socialist nation than any other leftist president, including FDR. Part of his success is his ability to convince the Right that he is doing this by accident. We laugh at how stupid he is, while our freedoms are taken one by one and work force participation goes down each month, not because of laziness but because the jobs disappear while the stock values climb.

He SAID that he would do this when he was running for president. People need to wake up and realize that he is not a bumbling fool who will go away after the next election and some future Conservative will fix it all.

Even if he does go away, the legacy of his successes will haunt America for a long time.

But even if he is a fool and all this is by accident, look at who has benefited from his “incompetence”. The people who are winners in the ObamaNation are the people whom we are supposed to revere on FR.

So he’s either a successful Marxist revolutionary who has led a bloodless coup against the Constitution, or we are being sold into near-slavery by a Wall Street who says that they’ll “bring the jobs back” when we are willing to work for Third-world wages.

Agreed. Obama can start by leaving office! Things would improve immediately!

The only people Obama is ‘helping’ to join the middle class are...

Upper-middle class and wealthy people. That is the goal and the result when fighting ‘income inequality.’
