And had Obama actually been who he campaigned on being, he probably wouldn't be experiencing quite as much of the abuse.
My concern is for the rapidly disappearing middle class, who were foreclosed upon in vast numbers, while their future monies have been diverted to Obama's Biggest and Best-est buddies on Wall Street. None of us have eight million dollars in book deals to temper the loss of our jobs, the loss of our credit ratings (which means we cannot get another job) etc.
We did not sign up for this. In fact, back in the days when I was a young school girl, I was specifically taught that America was a democracy and that the laws were a guarantee that fairness would be for all. As a young person, I realized that there were terrible inequities along the skin color lines, and I joined with others to try and change things.
Now in the 21st Century, it is all a game in which the rich have every advantage.
