Damn you Obama. Because of this we had to put up with this fraud Wurtzelbacher becoming a celebrity.

I really can't even see why this video was controversial. The president took like 20 minutes to explain his plan and answer the dude's question.

It is amazing and sad how the lies just flow out of this President so. Truly he is a Dangerous lair in that he is a Pathological Liar that believes his lies. How you "Lefties felling about that " no tax increase for those under $250K" line now?? Hope & Change LOL!

What political ideology is most beneficial and most efficient and morally correct in your view ? Give me the bottom line...what tax system...explain and maybe we can get somewhere?

Class warfare?? Dude, I have no problems with classes. It ain't no big deal. But the cons would always lose any class warfare, they have no class. Joe the Plumber is about as common as they come.

If anything the closest thing to the Ruling class are politicians themselves , the gov...how it is slowly becoming is that the corps don't shit w/o government approval.Ruling would imply that the lower socioeconomic classes do and say by what your "Ruling class" says to do.Thats not the case here...I'm blame gov before I blame corporations,b/c actually let the corporatism happen. Corporations don't tax the Gov. Corps don't bail out themselves the gov does...lets make that distinction right away.

Dito...preach dude..tell "DawnOfThdDead" that there is such a thing as a moderate/libertarian view. He's stuck in party warfare, and class warfare to even think straight. Its sad b/c it's common now.

Nothing is perfect, nor do I buy every pie in the sky librull idea. But the absolute last person I would go to for insight is a schmuck like Not Joe the Non Plumber or Palin. I mean the US government has been carrying half the aerospace, defense, heavy construction industries for decades yet all we hear about is Solyndra from the so called small government types.
