Agree with most of what you said. One quick comment. We both agree that R's love trickle down. However, my contention is that Obama is a trickle-down President too. 95% of the resources spent in his efforts to revive the economy have been trickle down and focused on helping the big banks. Is it working? Nope. The poor are poorer than ever. The rich are richer than ever and the bankster all walk free after destroying our economy. Deficit spending, ZIRP, money printing, and bank bailouts have been the cornerstones of Obama's Keynesian economic revival plans. Those are all trickle-down efforts. So don't kid yourself. Obama is an R is all but name. Just because he is for gay marriage and wants women to have a choice around abortion and birth control doesn't make him a Democrats best friend. I think many of you are still living off the high you got from voting for him. Those were heady days. I never felt better voting for a President than I did for him. My personal favorite President was Bush Senior (not Reagan) and my feeling for Bush Sr was the same the day he left as the day I voted for him. That was a job well done. I don't feel the same way about Obama as the day I voted for him. All I feel is disappointment that he is in the pocket of the bankers instead of for the 99%. If he's in the pocket of big bankers, why are they giving their money to Romney and openly dissing Obama? Sorry, but I feel you are making it up to justify voting for Romney.
