Instead of rewarding the rich with more money and taking away the money of the poor, Obama tries to even out the difference between the rich and the poor. Which is a huge task, but as it is right now, the gap is just way too big.
In theory. In my country there was socialism for 40 years (thanks Russia...) and no, socialism isn't these good sounds things what do You think in Western Europe...
He has a good personality, don't really agree with everything he does. But honestly, anyhing is better than those republicans in the USA.

That's how our country became known as a "welfare state". I have nothing against it at all.
The majority of the TC community reside in the UK mainly, with the rest being from Europe and a few from USA, middle east, Australia etc..
Lazy bums who don't work? Excuse me. I take so much offense to that it's not even funny. My mother works minimum 8 hours a day, 8-4/5 usually, she's a single mother. She makes $28,000 a year, and if you think that's enough to survive off of with 3 children, you're quite mistaken. The only government assistance we get is subsidized housing. If you think without that we wouldn't be on the streets you are wrong. Tell me that my mom is a lazy bum and that we don't need help.
Oh, and BTW-Obama kept Bush's tax cuts, so he has not lowered taxes, and he has not implemented any programs that are near socialism, so please tell me how much of a socialist he is. Even Romney admits Obama didn't raise taxes ->

Crazy muslims, they are jokes.. If anyones muslim on here no disrespect to your religion i dont mean to offend but seeing what ive seen on the news over a little cartoon is just unbelievable and cannot be justified whatsoever.
For me, Obama seems like a nice genuine guy and better than bush's bullshit. He got Bin laden, seems to have control and we dont really hear of any of the bad policies although he should be shooting bankers and i know youve lost your AAA rating.
Whats he done badly? For eg Cameron/Clegg,, Clegg let tutition fees get raised to £9000 a year for university and ive been hit by them, Cameron hasnt really done anything THAT bad imo, like hes done what has needed to be done. I know others have their own stories/views, in relation to other policies such as businesses, taxes, housing etc but im not too aware of.
Also $28,000 canadian dollars, is really like £15000 and must be hard for 3 children, big respect to your mum sin.
