Yes They DO Hate Him Because He Is Black.

91. I didn't say she was the same.

I said she is gonna sign legislation, like Bill Clinton did, like Obama did, that benefits mostly the rich.

Sure there is a clear difference, between

Obama

13% to the top 1%
54% to the top 20%
14% to the bottom 40%

and

Republicans

26% to the top 1%
65% to the top 20%
7% to the bottom 40%

but BOTH of them, pretty clearly favor the top over the bottom.

Is that really the best we can do? Then, when they "compromise" (and notice how the compromise is a LOT closer to the Republican side than it is to Obama) instead of saying "this sucks, but it was the best we could do." they declare victory.

Making 85% of the Bush tax cuts permanent - permanent tax cuts that heavily favor the rich is not any sort of victory, but Obama claimed it was.
