A study released recently by the Pew Research Center highlights diminished hopes for the roughly 50 percent of adults defined as middle class, with household incomes ranging from $39,000 to $118,000.
What we are seeing is the real Obama without his Teleprompter. We are hearing his real thoughts and feelings about America and what it was that made this the Greatest Nation the World has ever known.

From The Blaze:
Some may already be familiar with the image featured above. For those who aren’t, it is painting titled “The Forgotten Man” which features President Obama trampling on the Constitution while an astonished James Madison pleads with him to stop. To the side, a man sits on a park bench in the throes of depression while 43 presidents look on. The painting, which uses discarded dollar bills and scraps of paper with individual constitutional amendments scrawled onto them.
The Blaze first reported on artist Jon McNaughton’s controversial rendition back in 2010 when the artwork was released. Now, however, McNauughton’s Forgotten Man has resurfaced and is making its rounds across the internet again after appearing on Rachel Maddow’s blog on Thursday.
In a video that accompanied The Forgotten Man’s release, the politically charged McNaughton revealed, “For a long time I didn’t know if I wanted to paint this picture, because I worried it might be too controversial.”
He explained that the man on the park bench “represents every man, woman, and child who is an American“ and who ”hopes to find the American dream of happiness and prosperity.” The artist added, “But now because of unconstitutional acts imposed on the American people by our government we stand on the precipice of disasters.”
The artists’ work can be found at McNaughton Fine Art (though the site appeared to be down, at least temporarily on Friday evening) and on his Facebook Page. A search of McNaughton’s postings on Facebook reveal a number of paintings with strong political and religious themes including another provocative work released in October 2011 titled “Wake Up America.” The image features Obama smiling on the stump while shackled Americans gather around him.

Taken from an Email
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

How very Shameful it is to see people born and raised in America as Americans waging a war against all the things that made this the Greatest Nation the World has ever known. No other Country on Earth has ever done more for all the people’s of the World as has The United States of America. Now after over 200 years of a Proud History these folks think we have to change our ways. These people think there is a better way and are looking to a Godless Socialist form of Government as the answer to the Imperfections we sometimes find in America. An entire Generations of Americans being taught Revisionist History in our Public Schools has come of age and chosen to believe the Communistic Indoctrination our Schools and Colleges have taught. We as Americans know better than that and us Baby Boomers are still here to Correct the Injustices that have been done to our Proud History and our Christian Values. Our Generation will not go Silently into the Night leaving America in the hands of an Ungrateful Group of People who now wish to be known as Progressives.
Researchers have determined that genetics could matter when it comes to some adults’ political leanings.
According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, “ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4.” That and how many friends you had during high school.
The study was led by UCSD’s James Fowler and focused on 2,000 subjects from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Scientists matched the subjects’ genetic information with “maps” of their social networks. According to researchers, they determined that people “with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults.” However, the, subjects were only more likely to have leanings to the left if they were also socially active during adolescence.
“It is the crucial interaction of two factors — the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence — that is associated with being more liberal,” according to the study.

Young People Returning Home from Occupy Wall Street Find Struggles, ChallengesPosted by Guy Caballero on Tuesday, November 22, 2011
By Rivka Solomon Gonzales-Aoki
(AP) – Ryan Sulzman walks alone through the woods behind his parents’ home in Binghamton, New York. It’s one of the few things that gives his troubled soul peace these days. “I like hearing the birds sing…and the crickets” he confides. “It takes my mind off the horrors I witnessed. These are…these are things I still find it hard to talk about.”
Like many young people who volunteered to join the nationwide Occupy movement, Ryan has been having a hard time being back in “the world.” “When we were ‘in country,’ we became used to a certain routine. The free meals served in the camp soup kitchen, the free wi-fi, the rhythmic sounds of the drum circles, and the crackheads who’d let you buy food with their EBT cards in exchange for cash for drugs. I’d give them, like, $10 and they’d let me buy $40 in food. It was a sweet deal.”
But it wasn’t long before Ryan, and so many young people of his generation who had volunteered to do their duty, saw the ugly side of human nature. “The day they cleared out our camp, this one cop…he…he yelled at me. ‘Move! Move! Move!’ He had a bullhorn…the sounds still haunt my nightmares. And then…” Ryan’s voice trails off, as tears well up in his eyes, “then he grabbed my Tumi duffle bag and literally, like, pushed it into my arms. I totally could have been knocked over it I wasn’t wearing my Urban Outfitters boots.”
Still, Ryan considers himself fortunate. “I had a friend, Eddie…’Lucky Eddie’ the guys in the camp used to call him, because he’d always get lucky with the drunk girls who’d passed out. The day the camp was disbanded, he got…pushed by a cop. I saw him at the triage we set up in the Starbucks across the street. There was a vacancy in his eyes. ‘Lucky Eddie’ was gone – he was an empty shell of a man.”
Ryan, who has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is currently receiving disability, says that all he wanted when he returned home were a few words of thanks from the people he left behind. “I didn’t ask for a parade; none of us did,” Ryan says, as he attempts to restrain the anger building inside him. “But when I came home, when I walked through the door, and there were my parents who hadn’t seen me for two months, and they gave each other a look, like, ‘oh crap, he’s back.’ They hadn’t even known if I’d been alive or dead the past two months…except, of course, for the text messages I’d send, and the Skype videos. Oh, and they both subscribe to my Youtube channel. And, of course, there were the money transfers I had them make so I could upgrade my iPhone. But other than that, I could have been dead for all they knew.”
Ryan isn’t alone in his restrained bitterness. Across the nation, returning OWS vets are finding readjustment difficult – owing in large part to what they see as an indifference on the part of their loved ones to their ordeal. One such disillusioned OWS vet, a 25-year-old who would only give his name as Nick when the we interviewed him in front of the Krazy Kures medicinal pot clinic in Culver City, related his difficult tale. “My mom erased every single program I had Tivo’d. EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM. Sure, I can catch up with “Dexter” on Video on Demand, but those episodes of “Conan” are GONE. I’ll NEVER be able to see them again.”
For 31-year old OWS vet Jacob Berman, the wounds run especially deep. “My parents didn’t dust my Star Wars collectibles, not even once. Do you know what two months of dust build-up can do to a Limited-Edition Deluxe 30th-Anniversary 12” Boba Fett in the Great Pit of Carkoon Collectible Action Figure? I don’t even know if I can list it as mint on Ebay anymore.”
“Ebay…I don’t think I can ever go to that site again without getting flashbacks,” says 23-year-old Occupy Portland vet Caleb Henner. “It brings back all of the feelings of being alone, afraid, isolated out there at the front.” At first, Caleb was reluctant to tell his story. But at the urging of his psychologist, he agreed to give us a first-hand account of his harrowing ordeal.
“It was a cold night…I thought it might rain, so I was inside my REI tent bundled up in my Cole Haan waxed cotton parka. We were all on edge…there were reports that there might be an overnight ambush by city workers coming in to clean the public fountain we were using as a communal toilet, so we were all pretty tense. I was trying to keep my mind off things by browsing Ebay on my iPad, and I found this SWEET Game of Thrones one-sheet signed by Peter Dinklage! It was only $450, but I knew that would change if I didn’t use the “buy it now” option. So I tried…I tried to buy it…and…my mother’s credit card was declined. It had been pushed beyond its credit limit. It was like being in a nightmare. I kept screaming, NO! NO! I called my folks…it was 2am, and I got their answering machine…I was like, ‘COME IN, COME IN, THIS IS CALEB, DO YOU HEAR ME? OVER! COME IN! PLEASE GOD, I NEED HELP! PICK UP, PICK UP!’ But they didn’t. They were probably fast asleep. I never felt more alone in my life. And the Game of Thrones one-sheet…it…it sold to someone else within the hour…”
Caleb’s words trail off, as he’s comforted by his lawyer, who has initiated a lawsuit against Caleb’s parents for the Peter Dinklage atrocity. “This isn’t how these boys should be treated,” says Sheldon Gerbinsky, whose law firm is representing several OWS vets. “We’ve gotten reports of parents cynically using their children’s time at Occupy encampments to clean their rooms and basements – making beds, folding linens, ironing and hanging up shirts so that they lose all of their hipster cred. We even have one report of parents in Atlanta who removed their son’s three-year-old collection of smashed beer bottles while he was away at Occupy Atlanta.”
The Obama Administration has promised swift and immediate action to help OWS vets readjust to society, pledging everything from free psychological counseling to DVD box-sets of missed TV shows. At a press conference held on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney had this to say: “The president is committed to doing all he can to help those brave Americans. No expense will be spared. The president told me the other day that he was especially moved to action by the story of one young person from Occupy Denver whose parents actually threw out a mint-condition Gundam Force trading card. They thought it was ‘trash.’ What kind of country do we live in where so-called ‘parents’ don’t know the difference between a piece of trash and a valuable anime collectible? I agree with the First Lady when she told a gathering of OWS vets yesterday that she’s gone back to not being proud of her country. Until we begin taking seriously the sacrifices of the OWS heroes, we don’t deserve pride.”

Now don’t be a…
…Just tell us…President Obama, America would really like to know who you are and what you really believe. We all know you are bi-racial and yet considered the first African American President. Other than that we know very little. All those Sealed Records make it a bit difficult to be sure. Perhaps you are a Christian, or maybe a Muslim? Perhaps you are a Jew or a Hindu? Then again, you could just be a plain ole Humanist, you know, an Atheist. I am guessing the later to be honest with you. In my opinion you appear to be Godless but one cannot be sure. You know its that sealed records thingy that bothers me. Another questions that begs to be answered Sir is your Ideology. Are you a Capitalist? Socialist? Humanist? Marxist? or Communist? It’s weird because we always knew who and what our other Presidents were. Again, their records were not sealed. Sorry to keep bringing that up, but then again, that is my point here.
A Christian?
A Muslim?
A Puppet?
An Atheist?
A Revolutionary?
A Marxist?

President Obama’s Support of the Wall Street Protestors and his repeated Attacks against the Tea Party Paint a Perfectly Clear Picture of his Vision for America
Three weeks into a growing protest movement targeting Wall Street and the nation’s financial services sector, President Obama expressed empathy Thursday for the demonstrators, even going so far as to elevate them as a force in the 2012 election cycle.

There was a time when this might have been thought Laughable or even Conspiratorial. Ain’t no body laughing any more. In his Third Year as President, the evidence is now undeniable. President Obama is far and away more Liberal, more Socialist and far more Marxist than even his most ardent critics could have imagined just three short years ago.
This President has Demonstrated his Disdain for our Capitalistic form of Government and our very Constitution.
