| During his inauguration speech, President Obama spoke of the class divide in the nation, saying: “For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into

Comments: To me that was the most divisive, anti-American parts of this diatribe. The only thing missing was all the deviant miscreants from Occupy Wall Street. He sure isn´t president for "all the people." Even John F. Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave.

You have made that situation WORSE by crushing the private sector, you deceitful, worthless creep. The wealthy now enrich themselves by buying access to taxpayer money in DC.

So, a few who are doing really well is a problem? And for the many who are struggling, it´s the governments job to help them? They can´t help themselves?

The more of the nation´s wealth we can gather here in DC, the more comfy we can make the couch-sitters waiting for their checks...The unlimited income possibilities in public sector sinecures and influence peddling schemes point the way to a golden future of kickbacks and bribes for us Dems...

To quote Ronald Reagan, "There you go again". Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Zero Sum Barry: Wealth cannot be created, it can only be redistributed. If you are doing well, someone else is not and it is your fault beacuse you can only do it at their expense. The history of the US is living proof that this philosophy is pure garbage, derived solely to foster and push a socialist political agenda.

Has anyone noticed that obama has never asked that the "ones who barely make it" need to change the way they live. I am not talking about the unemployed or others who have fallen down that rabbit hole through no fault of their own. I am talking about those having children out of wedlock, those who have never worked and expect someone else to support them, those who drink too much, use drugs, hang with the wrong crowd. Those who chose to turn their backs on education and spend their "government benefits" on stripper and nail salons. Those who want others to take care of their children so they can sleep away the day or sleep around. He asks the workers to give more to the government so they can buy votes. We are so screwed. The American spirit of independence is dead and those with their hands out are over taking those who work. I hate this administration and what they have done to us. I am very afraid about what the next four years hold for us.

This is the direct result of government policy. Even in the days of the robber barons, this didn´t describe this country. Yet this is where we are headed. The number of people in the > 250,000 class has dropped as has the average wage of the middle class.

#6, MLK was a Republican and believed in all people being equal--not some being more equal than others. Just because the left has adopted MLK doesn´t mean that he would adopt them. He was very anti-communist. With regard to JFK...while he may have done some boneheaded things, he was still quite conservative for a Democrat (even back then).

So his solution is for fewer people to do well and a growing many to hardly make it? That sure spreads the wealth around, puts everyone on the same playing field, and guarantees a permanent unemployed class.
But don´t worry about it, because he will continue to print those food stands and welfare checks even after there is no one left to support his grand scheme.

The only spending cuts Obama believes in are the spending cuts of the citizens who don´t have any extra money to spend! And it´s reaching to the top - even successful and "wealthy" are feeling the pain i.e. Phil Mickelson.
Pelosi says that unemployment benefits stimulate the economy, and I guess Obama thinks the same way about food stamps, welfare, ssdi benefits, etc. These people can´t add 2+2.

"Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama." So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C.

The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
