POTUS makes a little over $200k? So Obama basically had that at ordinary rates, and then almost all the rest of his income would have been 15% capital gains.

Obviously it should surprise no one that Obama does not voluntarily pay more in his taxes. He is the clear leader of people who want other people to pay for their shit. Gonna suck come January when he doesn't have the taxpayer to pay for the lavish vacations.

Taxmageddon is coming in a little over 8 months - http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2012/04/taxmageddon-massive-tax-increase-coming-in-2013

Some pull-quotes:
A tax increase the size of Taxmageddon for just one year is simply unprecedented. Usually tax and budget policies are evaluated on estimates over 10 years. A 10-year tax increase of Taxmageddon’s magnitude would be off the charts. By comparison, all the tax increases in Obamacare—itself an enormous tax increase—raise $502 billion over 10 years, which is almost as much as Taxmageddon will increase taxes just in 2013.
If President Obama and Congress fail to act this year, an enormous, unprecedented tax increase will fall on American taxpayers starting on January 1, 2013. The Washington Post called the looming tax increase “Taxmageddon,”[1] and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke called it a “massive fiscal cliff.”[2]
For those that believe the ruling elites will get some sort of patch, extension, or modifications passed before 1-1-2013, remember this is an election year with all of the rabble that comes with it. Included is the idea that compromise is out of the question. Also remember that they didn't get their patches and fixes enacted for the past 2 years until December of the preceding year. If these historical tax hikes go into effect and confiscate the reported $494,000,000,000 out of the private economy and into the governmental hand-out utopian economy, we'll all pay the ultimate price.

Im tired of the unemployment rate is dropping argument. The only reason it is dropping is bc the long term unemployed no longer counts toward that number. If you add this back it your up to 10-11% unemployment

That depends on how long term you are talking. Go back to people who quit looking for work during Bush's reign and you are at 20%.

David Axelrod hands Romney a gift while doing his best Joe Biden impersonation:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/04/15/axelrod_gaffe_choice_is_between_growing_economy_and_continuing_down_same_road.html
"The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class, that gives people a chance to get ahead, gives their kids a chance to get ahead and an economy that continues down the road we're on," Axelrod said on "FOX News Sunday" today.

lol, smh at Obama, nice video.

That's bad. But honestly, is the other guy any better? I know that is a lame excuse, but I have seen anything that suggests Romney wouldn't be any better.

Besides, I'd still take Obama's FP as a whole over whatever Romney is trying to come out with.
That could change though...

Well, I'm certain Obama sees you as a strong ally and that you always punch above your weight.

Romney is one of the worst GOP candidates to be nominated in the last 100 years. Barring an epic scandal I don't see how Obama loses the election.

I disagree. Bob Dole was a reasonable conservative from the heartland who actually stood for something. He voted against Medicare (socialism) when it came time to pass. Romney passed what Repubs call socialism nowadays in his own state. Romney was my favorite candidate in 08' but he's attached himself to the extreme conservatism that has been distributing a smaller piece of the pie to most americans for the last 30 years which is unfortunate and has done so in an unconvincing way because it's not clear he believes in anything other than that he should be the president. If he manages to win it's simply because Obama is a very weak president and the GOP's plan to do anything and everything to undermine his presidency has been successful.

Bob Dole in 96 would be leading Obama handily at this point IMHO.

While I would agree that Romney wants to be POTUS, I would hope Romney is against gubmint re-distribution of wealth. That's not unfortunate....It's good policy.

Romney may be the worst GOP candidate in your lifetime....how old are you? 20?

I will agree that I'm disappointed that Romney does seem to be the best the Repubs can come up with in a situation where they should be able to nominate a steaming pile of rancid diarrhea and kick Obama's arss.

Nevertheless, it's laughable to assume an "epic scandal" is all the will keep BHO from re-election. Romney aside, the Bammer is simply disliked that much in this country.

So anything to the left of the hard right turn that the GOP has taken is "pro-redistribution." If anything left of where Romney and the current Republican ideology lie constitutes being "pro-redistribution of wealth then," of course, the ol' Gipper was a wealth redistributionist too. You're being a bit myopic aren't you my friend?

Since you've indicated in the past that you support socialism for yourself in the form of medicare (in its current form) you yourself would have to be pro-redistribution since preserving that is to the left of Romney/Ryan.

Never said such a thing about Medicare. I have indicated that the Feds have confiscated nearly $300,000 of my wages in Social Security taxes and that my money had better damned well be there when I hit 65 and a half.

I don't support wealth distribution of any kind including your Social "Security" ponzi scheme but since FDR & his socialist twits forced the issue on the American people, I'm simply stating the fact that the Feds had better make good on their "promise."

But that IS the danger in wealth re-distribution isn't it?

I'm not trying to start anything to much in depth or stray from the original topic, but didn't a lot of people have the same idea/opinion with Kerry vs. Bush in 2004? I was upset by Kerry in 2004, but that's what the Dems came up with.

At least IMO, people felt the same about the Dems and John Kerry in 2004. It seemed like everyone hated Bush but had more faith in him than Kerry. I heard a lot of "I'm voting for Bush because he's the lesser of two evils" argument.
