Obama, speaking at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House, praised Congress for voting to extend the payroll tax cut. He said this helps the middle class, adding that he will fight for middle class voters regardless of what Congress does.

The dictator is oozing out from beneath the slick exterior and though not surprising, his minions continue to applaud. For a "Constitutional scholar" he seems to forget that Congress is there as part of a check and balance against just this kind of thinking.

FOX News Loves Obama because he is the real source of hundreds of millions of their advertising dollars.
The racist and bigots on the right have spent a tremendous amount of money over the course of the last 3 1/2 years to promote their lies in a bid to unseat the President.

There are more Racists and Bigots that declare Democrat as their moniker than leaning Right Republicans or Independents.
There are definitely a lot of people out there that have never got the memo that all people are one...regardless of color.
As for me and mine, we will stand and fight for your right to say what you want....
As long as you don't tread against the rights and freedoms of those who disagree and want to say so freely.
The southern Democrats that prove my point are Robert Byrd and George Wallace... Huey Long and the most Reverend Wright...
