Obama's plan to redistribute the wealth is meeting resistance from the filthy rich who are protecting their stash from his efforts to level the playing field by sinking all boats which have resolutely remained afloat despite his efforts to scuttle them.
His constant rants against the fat cat bankers and the evil capitalists who avoid the taxes they are supposed to pay and pass their fair share of the burdens to the least productive among us has caught the attention of those who are finding the American dream has passed them by, They are content to take their frustration out on the rich until the government finds a way to bail them out again.
Obama is the latest in a long line of presidents who believe the government should be the regulator of the economic endeavors of private citizens and is the least apologetic for his intentions to do so.
It is amazing that the entrepreneurial spirit still has any life at all but it cannot sustain the will to carry on forever against the unrelenting pressure of the state which has the power to regulate, tax and corrupt free enterprise beyond recognition.
Blame the Democrats or blame the Republicans. Blame Tweedledee or blame Tweedledum. Until real change is offered - and accepted - by the voters, they will continue to elect corrupt leaders who promise change but deliver more of the same until the facade of democracy is exposed as a dismal failure, gutted and cannibalized from within.
