If the latest polls are correct, Barack Obama is failing to convince voters, especially Independents, that Mitt Romney will hurt the poor and middle class while only helping the rich. The class warfare attacks by Obama are gaining him no ground and, in fact, now appear to be hurting his reelection bid for the White House. The ABC News/Washington Post poll shows the race a dead even tie at 47% each nationwide. But among Independents, Romney now has a significant lead at 53% to 41%. Some polls show Independents breaking towards Romney at a 20-point rate over Obama. Have the American people become fed up with the endless distortions of facts and general lack of a plan by the Obama administration?
The answer would seem to be – YES! Let us just look at this week′s theme of ′tax cuts′ by Obama. Obama likes to claim that he has not raised taxes on the middle class and has indeed cut them each year. But the truth is that all Obama has done is to continue to extend the Bush Tax Cuts, which he proposes to do so again for one more year. Even among fellow Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, both who want to cut-off the extension at $1 Million dollars of annual household income, whereas Obama wants the cut-off at $250,000.
The hypocrisy comes in many flavors. Aside from the old argument by Democrats that the Bush Tax Cuts ONLY benefited the ′rich′, now the Democrats cannot agree on who is rich? In 2010, after the Tea Party pummeled Obama and the Democrats in the mid-term elections, Obama rushed through a two-year extension of the Bush Tax Cuts, claiming that in the economic environment that any tax increases would be bad. All of the latest economic indicators show the current situation is actually worse now than in late 2010. For example, GDP growth was revised to 3.9% in 2010 while currently, the growth rate is barely 1.9%. Other indicators show signs of the economy slowing down as 2nd Quarter job growth averaged only 75,000 jobs created per the last three months.
So nobody with half a brain is buying the Barack Obama class warfare argument against Mitt Romney. People chuckle when I mention the word ″LANDSLIDE″, but in a sane, rational universe, that would be the outcome for Mitt Romney. Why would anybody consider voting to reelect Obama when he cannot even produce a federal budget for the past three years? Only die-hard Socialists, idiots and other nit-wits with some narrow agenda would excuse Obama for his failings and give him a shot at four more years in the White House. The latest polls appear to be showing that Independents are beginning to break towards Romney in a big way. Enough so that Obama could not possibly win.

He’s in a bakery it looks like. Does Michelle know? I’m positive none of that stuff is on her “let’s move” gov’ment fitness diet regime. Feel sorry for all those white people in the background having to wait their turn. You know if it was a colored bakery people would be pushing past and breaking in line, president be damned.

” You know if it was a colored bakery people…”
Careful, the word police might show up.

“Only die-hard Socialists, idiots and other nit-wits with some narrow agenda would excuse Obama for his failings”
So true, but we can’t underestimate the importance of those idiots making the rest of us look better!

“Careful, the word police might show up.”
No need as it was obviously done with that intent.

Let me point out Andrew that the poll you mention was skewed (D)+9 and it was still a tie.
I have said often over the past 3+ years that had Billy Ray not been carefully groomed by his socialist handlers over the years he would be dealing Three-Card Monte on some street corner in Chicago. What you’re seeing now is America waking up to that realization.
What many are starting to see is an educated but not very intelligent, smooth-talking street hustler who has already swindled them out of a bundle but implores them to take one more shot.
This will only get worse for him, and his lapdog media will be powerless to stop it. Why? Because people are realizing that the MSM are his shills who throw down an occasional $20 and are allowed to win just to suck the rest of us in.

His socialist handlers?
You guys kill me.
July 11th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
“His socialist handlers?
You guys kill me.”
His grandfather, Frank Marshall Davis, Derrick Bell, Anita Dunn, Van Jones, David Axelrod, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Cass Sustein, Kevin Jennings…
He was a member of the Socialists New Party.

Are you totally ignorant buzz or just in denial?

Why do socialists run from what is a very descriptive term, “socialist”? Reminds me that Ronald Reagan turned “liberal” into a dirty word and that is just too bad. Words have meaning. Obama is a socialist, which isn’t the end of a discussion but the beginning. What liberals really should be doing is arguing about why his socialist policies, those same policies largely implemented in Europe, are good for the country. But people who won’t own their own ideas are difficult in discussions, and earn disrespect for being cowards.

The latest PC linguistic Liberal strategy is to make “Capitalist” a bad word and we should instead be calling “capitalism” “Financial Freedom”. DOES THAT MAKE US FREEDOM FIGHTERS ?
Fine with me. It basically says the same thing, but they dumbed it down for their buddies .
Class warfare ?
Of all our Presidents, you have the least class ever by dividing the country as you did based on lies and false hopes for radical ideological means or better known as “Fundamental”.
BHO and ‘class’ dont do well in same sentences
July 12th, 2012 at 4:59 am
Well, buzz,
If you are disturbed by the term “Socialist handlers” in regards to Obama, how about politically corrupt handlers? Like Tony Rezko, Rod Blagojevich, Nadhmi Auchi, Daniel Mahru, Stuart Levine, …, oh yeah, Valerie Jarrett, too!
July 12th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Well, not all of them have been found guilty of crimes, but true they are almost all socialists
July 12th, 2012 at 7:39 pm
As I have said before, I now hope Obama wins for nothing but the entertainment value.
Right Pundits will blow up the next day (while also increasing profit projections for an Obama win).
What will Right Pundits and Fox talk about if they win?
Perhaps the extinction (or at least re-education) of the dissenters.
Of course, then the Democrats could be the party of no.

People sure like to complain.
You do realize that you can do an online incorporation or LLC in 24 hours in most states and get a tax ID number the next day with a phone call to your regional IRS office?
Heck, you can incorporate in Deleware from anywhere in the country in about 20 minutes.
Yeah, it sure is hard to start a business in this “socialist” country.

Yes Buzz, you can do that in most of the red states. But when liberals get their hands on power, like in California or New York, you certainly cannot start a (legal) business in 24 hours. Quite instructively I think, you seem to have a typical liberal’s attitude about fellow man. You have a job so you don’t worry about other people having to struggle under the onerous regulations that you support.

Well, buzz, if you read my stuff carefully, you would see that while I bash Obama I am not really praising Romney all that much. Should Romney be elected, I will have no trouble finding things to write about, including holding Mitt’s feet to the fire.
Politically, I’m a Voluntaryist, which puts me in between a Libertarian and an Anarchist. While I typically vote Republican in primaries, though I have voted Democrat a few times, in general elections, I spread my vote around. I even give the Natural Law Party a vote or two to keep them on the ballot.
