This post by Digby just makes me even more certain I will not vote to reelect Barack Obama in 2012...even if withholding my vote would throw the election to the Republican candidate. At least the Republicans ADMIT they are trying to screw the poor and eliminate the middle class. Obama pretended to be on the side of the average person when he ran in 2008, but in fact he only cares about being reelected, and that means he must suck up to the loony right and keep the wealthy happy.
Our country's infrastructure is crumbling and we have millions who are unemployed and need jobs. We desperately need a WPA-type program to put the unemployed to work fixing our infrastructure. That's what Franklin Roosevelt did, but this President is too cowardly to take bold steps. It might piss off the right and he might lose the next election! Well, Earth to Obama, your sucking up to the right once you took office demoralized your base and many stayed home in 2010 and the Democrats lost a BUNCH of crucial elections, smart guy!

If the rich are unhappy, the poor are happy. And conversely. An unhappy rich donor is a threat to the political order, the rotation of the planet, etc..

LOL! "wherein the female humpback makes a big fuss in the water which in turn attracts the attention of a pod of slacker male humpbacks who go rushing after her like a bunch of frat boys who just heard that a couple of girls are making out with each other in the game room. Once the gang is all there, the female takes off with the horny boy whales in pursuit, all the while beating the shit out of each other for the opportunity to be the one who gets to live up to their name by…."
