“Continue
The gap between the nation's CEOs and average workers is now ten times greater than it was a generation ago. And while Bush's tax cuts shaved only a few hundred dollars off the tax bills of most Americans, they saved the richest one percent more than $44,000 on average. In fact, once all of Bush's tax cuts take effect, it is estimated that those with incomes of more than $200,000 a year — the richest five percent of the population — will pocket almost half of the money. Those who make less than $75,000 a year — eighty percent of America — will receive barely a quarter of the cuts. In the Bush era, economic inequality is on the rise.
Rising inequality isn't new. The gap between rich and poor started growing before Ronald Reagan took office, and it continued to widen through the Clinton years. But what is happening under Bush is something entirely unprecedented: For the first time in our history, so much growth is being siphoned off to a small, wealthy minority that most Americans are failing to gain ground even during a time of economic growth — and they know it.”

“Tell you one thing ,,,, My pockets do not show that..
There is just too much weatlh being giving to the top 5 percent of the wealthy and that now includes most of our democrats...
Lots are making a mint on the policies which are being passed in the pass 8 years.
Look at Feinstein in a committee where war contracts were given out under Bush's war and her husband received in these war contracts.
Every wonder just how much money the elected officials on both sides of the fence ,, have in stocks in the companies which have benefited by the decisions made in the past 8 years.
We have become the country of the have and the have nots.”

Why doesn't Bush get credit for the strong economy?"
Are people just ungrateful? Is the administration failing to get its message out? Are the news media, as conservatives darkly suggest, deliberately failing to report the good news?
None of the above. The reason most Americans think the economy is fair to poor is simple: For most Americans, it really is fair to poor. Wages have failed to keep up with rising prices. Even in 2005, a year in which the economy grew quite fast, the income of most non-elderly families lagged behind inflation. The number of Americans in poverty has risen even in the face of an official economic recovery, as has the number of Americans without health insurance. Most Americans are little, if any, better off than they were last year and definitely worse off than they were in 2000.
But how is this possible? The economic pie is getting bigger — how can it be true that most Americans are getting smaller slices? The answer, of course, is that a few people are getting much, much bigger slices. Although wages have stagnated since Bush took office, corporate profits have doubled.”

The clock is ticking on this crisis. We have to act swiftly, but we also have to get it right. with a solution that protects American taxpayers and our economy without rewarding those whose greed helped bring us to this point.
I will cut taxes for 95% of all working families. under my plan, tax rates will actually be less than they were under Ronald Reagan. If you make less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increase one single dime.
I will finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American. If you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums
This Administration started off by asking for a blank check to solve this problem. To them, I say no. It is unacceptable to expect the American people to hand this Administration or any Administration a $700 billion check with no conditions and no oversight
If American taxpayers are financing this solution, you should be treated like investors. That means that Wall Street and Washington should give you every penny of your money back once this economy recovers.”

One of the biggest problems is Obama is listening toooooo much to Emanuel and his crew for advise and this is where you are coming up with persons like Geither and others which are wrong for the jobs.
Geither is a wall street person and he helps the rich and doesn't care or know a d... thing about helping man street..
Obama needs to renegotiate the free trade bill and stop throwing tariff on the goods flooding our market and country.
We have become warehouses for selling products from foreign nations like China and shows we not longer have any manufacturing plants over 7 million American jobs have been outsource....
So when you see Names which used to be American name ,,,on toys , clothes and all other products they are the companies which use to be in our country but are now partners with other countries like China , Japan , NO. Korea .”

“That is right , just look what toll this economical disaster is taking on Obama and the democrats now..
These corporations are still eating well have their homes... The bailout was just a little extra money for them to buy out the smaller banks and invest overseas..
Americans are the ones hurting and losing their jobs , social programs and homes..
It costs aroung $1,000.000 for EACH soldier for one years.
This does not even consider the killing , wounding and the mental brain damage done to our soldiers.
We did not see the persons which have started and supported this war serving when it was their turn...”

Americans like to see a person which stands up for what is right disregardless of "their" outcome..
This is the way Obama campaigned and lead his supporters to believe he was going to do...”

“The democrats are very weak when it comes to passing and enforcing policies which benefit us when they think their jobs are at stake..

“Has anyone ever wonder why U.S. is destroying our military and economy by fighting in the middle east.
where It has been over 7 years and we are now in worst shape then when we started this war.
No other country has taking up this responsibility which would destroy their country and they live there..
China is laughing their .... off at us , because this war and destruction of Americans manufacturing plants and jobs have been outsourced to them and they have become the leader in the world economy now..
Even the companies which use to be American companies are overseas where they are enjoying the fruits of U.S. economy which they have outsourced there..
Why did we attack Iraq in the first place it was Saudi Arabia which had 15 of the 19 terrorist of 911... It was Saudi Arabia's organizations which were funding and becoming the insurgents in Iraq which were killing our soldiers.
Why are we in Afghanistan paying their leaders millions if not billions of dollars to fight there and Ben Laden is in Pakistan where we are also supporting their government..”

“First of all ,democrats had no business voting for Bush to start his illegal war in Iraq..
Second they have time to expose the criminal crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration , but rather let it side so it would not hurt their chances for reelection... They refused to start impeachment proceeding against Bush and Cheney for his illegal actions ,treason , torture and other crimes.
When Obama and the democrats took office instead of upholding our laws and constitution they said they were not going to look in the past.. This is a cop out for not investigating and prosecuting these criminals.
They will not take a stand on anything in which they believe it will hurt their chances of reelection..
What if happening now is a direct results from the democrats not standing up and fighting Bush , Cheney and the republicans ,,, as soon as they saw that the War had turn into a joke and the enormous amount of crimes they were committing;...”

“Why are the democrats calling this a victory? Sounds to me as if Conrad received what he wanted in the health bill about abortion ,, or he would not have said he was satisfied..
We have become sheep... We believe them on the BS they feed us , and not what they really are doing to us..
I am more disappointed with the supporters taking their lies and deceit without question than of the republican- corporate democrats in office..
Of democrats and Americans , how many people really believes this bill does anything other than give the health & drug companies more policies , while raising our policy rates to satisfied the health & drug's appetite for more money and control...
Obama and the democrats are looking for a historical photo op on the signing of the health bill...
This bill will be the defeat of "" them """ in the 2010 and 2012 elections..
And they say that health insurance was the number one issue with Americans and I bet you that it is really JOBS which is on their minds..”
