And what about the current POTUS;
From an article "Bush Watch.org"

Some Bush backers claim he's not a liar, he's just not very bright and doesn't remember things very well. That may be true, but we're sure Bush would not allow such an excuse in his "responsibility era." We're sure Bush would agree that if he's that dumb, he shouldn't be President. Other Bush backers claim that some of his lies are "technically correct" or "tailored to fit the audience," or some such circumlocution. What they're talking about are lies of omission rather than lies of commission. In lies of omission it's what they imply, not what they say. For example, the other evening Bush told Congress and the American people that he was putting a "lock box" on Social Security. Now, it's very clear that Bush wanted us to feel secure in the belief that he was protecting all of our Social Security funds for the future. No question, right? Yet, the very next day when his budget book was released, we learned that Bush told a lie of omission. What he didn't tell Congress and the American people is that he would later take from $.6 to $1 trillion out of that "lock box" to cover his tax cuts. No doubt, Bush lied. He wanted folks to believe something that he knew was not true. Of course, politicians do this all the time. It's second nature. In sum, the thing that really bothers us about Bush's lies is that he is also a hypocrite and pretends he's above lying. As a liar, he reinforces our assumptions about politicians. As a hypocrite, he reinforces our assumptions about his character. --Politex

Now that is spreading the wealth, only he is taking from mainstreet, those who worked all their life to contribute to social security.

Well then, you will have to back up your claim on how Obama's plan will force you to fire people with some facts, not just your personal opinion.
I do believe there is a senate committee that is investigating CEO's, but you are right, there is not enough being done, and it took both parties to get where you are, but the last 8 years have more than shown how out of control Washington DC is.
And I call you a nut job because there are few who make $40,000 a year working 8 hours a day, most have 2-3 jobs.
As for the house, it can't get by a Rep Senate or Pres.

This is from an above comment of mine about shrub,,,

So even a Rep POTUS has redistributed the wealth, only from mainstreet, again !!!just like the bailout.

What you accuse Obama of MAYBE doing, shrub has and is doing now, and McC is more of the same.
