It seems to me that the more Obama is hated, the more Hollywood, goes into your face about how wonderful Michelle and Obama are.

The truth about the 1% is (and I'm one of them): 1.) they are super rich... 2.) They also have a lower tax rate than they've ever had, and so we are typically would have no problem paying more. 3.) We realize that we have benefited from our great system and our great country, and we don't piss all over "government" as if they've done something terrible to us. It's a few idiots who throw around words like socialism for raising tax rates to {gasp!} 30 some % on wealthy people or because we have a social safety net catching more people than ever because of free trade with 3rd world countries drove real wages down creating a permanent working poor class. Bascially a lot of ignorant fools in the dopey RwingNut media: 1.) don't know what socialism is... partly because... 2.) they've never been anywhere that actually HAS socialism 3.) missed the boat when there actually WERE unions and more socialism 4.) don't understand medicare and why it REALLY should be dismantled... so they sound like idiots.
