The Obama Campaign needs to create some ads...

"I Am the 47%!"


Seniors, the unemployed or better under employed...and on and on.

Amazing still to me that Mittens just casts off almost 50% of the nation.

AND...supposedly, he was talking to "business"? What "business" was there? Who were they?

Did the sex party follow?

So many questions for him and so little time.

I can't craft an example but it's got to seem that we're above that, which we are.

First, where is the 47% not paying any FEDERAL INCOME TAXES number coming from?

Second, the 47% does not get off, in America, completely FREE of all taxes...state income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, taxes on water, gas, utilities and on and on and on.

With Mittens making his usual sweeping comments, why not have American Citizens speak up?

Fact is fact...I don't see anything wrong, about Americans speaking about this, as being below the Mittens level of campaigning.
