Corporations are people seems to be the focus point again this year by the republican party, while the republicans and their friends who run these giant blood sucking conglomerates making billions in profits while not letting much of the gravy drip down to the underlings who have worked tirelessly to ensure the continual raise in profits. At the expense to their workers, the economy and whether they can finally put the last nail in the coffin of the middle class seems to be the very agenda of these greedy crooks.

The Republicans refuse to raise taxes to pay down the debt, they were offered by the wimpy democrats a plan that would ultimately gut certain programs by cutting $9 out of the budget and then raise taxes $1. The republican presidential candidates all raised hands to declare that they would not raise taxes $1, refusing the plan even though it was 90% of what they wanted. The Republican party will never be satisfied until the America that was the glory of the middleclass and stood for hope for the poor, will be reduced to a country that stands for the rich and powerful and to hell with the rest of her people.

Most of the Democratic Party and its elected political figures have allowed the republicans to fulfill their agenda without a fight. President Obama who spoke of hope for America and its people is the worst offender in the Democratic Party. He speaks of compromise with the republicans at every venue and then, not only compromises but gives away the farm to the greedy bastards, leaving hope for the middleclass and poor trailing behind as an after thought.

People are tired of the presidents lack of fortitude and dedication to the middleclass and poor, who in the hell does he think got out and voted to put him in office believing that he was hope for America, only to find out that he is a republican in disguise. President Obama has the ability to grasp these social problems, the economy and put our economy back on track, all he has to do is to start recovery programs such as was done in the Great Depression Era, all he has to do is try to start the programs and when the republicans vote NO like we all know they will, he can use the media and tell the American people and we all know the people would rally behind him and oust the republicans at the next election and we could begin the recovery process.

But will the president do this, probably not because he stands side by side with corporate America, making decisions that enhance corporate America and hinders the working class. The president spouts on the political trail as being from a poor middleclass family yet he forgets where he actually comes from, he benefited from programs that helped him and his mother and grandparents but now turns his back on other Americans that need help, other Americans that want to work and provide for themselves and their family's, who do not want a hand out or nor do they expect a handout.

So Mr. President you will probably continue down the same course, afraid to veer off the beaten path, afraid to step off to the side, callused to listen to the people, to feel their frustration and their pain, many have lost their homes because their jobs are gone, many go hungry, many die because of the lack of medical care simply because they cannot afford it. All because you are a gutless, balless president who is afraid of his own shadow and afraid of the republicans and the corporations who are running you and this country. Think of this… without the social programs you were given you would not be where you are today and your children would not have the life they have or the future that will be bestowed upon them, a future that every person in America should have the ability to achieve.

A bit of advice Mr. President, if you want another term in office I suggest that you start acting like the president of the United States and start standing for what America was and should be, or you will be but a blur along the wayside, you have the power and the ability to be a great president and turn this country around if you don't its nobody's fault but your own because the people are waiting to see the man that they voted for, and the man that they knew who would bring hope to America.

In your own words "Yes We Can" in my words Yes You Can".. Damn It Just Do It!
