we all see through your crappy right-wing nonsense (btw, I didn't think a sarcasm tag was necessary but apparently for some it is).

And I love this particular quote from the president: "“We encourage the pursuit of profit – but the era of expecting a bailout after your pursuit of profit puts the whole country at risk is over.”

The banks, Mr. President? Any thoughts of reining in the banks and wall street? I didn't think so.

Now that we've sent all the jobs overseas, are spending most of our time pushing no minimum wage & the privatization of social security, we have gotten to the point where there will no longer be ownership of homes for the vast majority of this country.

I don't care which party/president does it - it is still a race to the bottom.

"Middle Class" ---->

Own it.
