I'm also very unhappy that he let the big banks off the hook while the people in this country continue to get fucked while not one banker has gone to jail.
However when dealing with many of the pro right wingers here on gfy, they are so freaking unreasonable and blame Obama because the sky is blue. It's like you have to defend like you are some left wing blow hard just to try and debate these guys.the right has just gone bat shit crazy, there is nothing at all Obama can do to please them.
Obama is way over on the right side of where Clinton was when he was president, yet these guys whine like he's some extreme leftist.. Obama is closer to what Reagan was than either of the Bushes and he has had several conservative nominees and continued many of Bush's policies.. Yet nothing is good enough because he won't give the right 100% what they want.

He ran on a platform of raising taxes on people that are in the higher income levels. And with that he promised his voters they would get more from the government. And he has delivered. My taxes are much higher, and along with that he has ended rapid depreciation of capitalized investments, effective Dec 2014.
If that doesn't go a long way to destroy a slow economy nothing will. Companies that are on a growth curve will now do other things with their cash, rather than reinvesting in new equipment. What's going to make it worse is that next year I will invest every single cent I can,,,then 2015 nothing that isn't absolutely required. Do the math. You can figure out what 2015 is going to be like for the economy.
