Obama Is No Friend of the Middle Class

"Barack Obama has based much of his re-election campaign on the issue of "fairness" and especially the charge that "the rich" are not paying enough in taxes.  Creating a straw man to blame for one's own failures is a classic political ploy, but it raises the question of whether Obama himself has been "fair" to the middle class.  With less income, fewer jobs, and mediocre economic growth since Obama took office, the answer is that he has not. 

Since Obama claims that he is the champion of the middle class, what does his record actually show?  Quite simply that middle-class household incomes have declined by $4,500, while the wealth of his billionaire friends has increased. "     [American Thinker]
