“The headlines tell us that unemployment rate in November fell to 8.6%, it is the lowest level in more than ten years. But, as with much in the Age of Obama, the devil is in the details. The primary reason for the drop is that more than 300,000 Americans ceased looking for work last month – more than twice the number who actually got jobs…

“Last week, Leon Cooperman, CEO of Omega Advisors, a hedge fund, sent Obama a blistering open letter, criticizing the President’s “desperate demagoguery” against job creators. “Capitalism is not the source of our problems, as an economy or as a society,” Cooperman wrote reminding Obama:

“As a group, [capitalists] employ many millions of taxpaying people, pay their salaries, provide them with health care coverage, start new companies, found new industries, create new products, fill shelves at Christmas, and keep the wheels of commerce and progress (and indeed of government, by generating the income whose taxation funds it) moving.”

“To frame the debate as one of rich-and-entitled versus poor-and-dispossessed,” Cooperman continued, “is to both miss the point and further inflame an already incendiary environment. It is also a naked, political pander to some of the of the basest human emotions – strategy, as history teaches, that never ends well for anyone but totalitarians and anarchists.”…

“Six months ago Bill Looman, CEO of U.S. Cranes, recently posted signs on his company’s trucks stating, “New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.”… Facebook pictures of the signs went viral, prompting a visit from the Secret Service, which interviewed Looman as a possible security threat to the President. Welcome to Obama World, where intimidation of the President’s critics is becoming commonplace…

“Cooperman and Looman are hardly alone. Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus lambasted Obama in July, saying that “Home Depot would never have succeeded if we’d tried to start it today. Every day you see rules and regulations from a group of Washington bureaucrats who know nothing about running a business.” Whole Foods CEO John McKay has said, “It was a lot easier for me to start my business 30 years ago than it is for an entrepreneur starting out today to do the same thing…

“Democrats apparently are under no illusions about who will ultimately pay the price for their job-stifling policies. Preparation by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party WILL EXPLICITLY ABANDON THE WHITE WORKING CLASS, the “New York Times’ Thomas Edsall wrote last week.

"All pretense of trying to win the majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned…It’s been years since Democrats have fared well among white working-class voters. Obama lost them in 2008, and he didn’t help himself by infamously referring to Middle Americans as clinging bitterly to guns, xenophobia and religion. The Democrats lost these voters by 30 percentage points in the 2010 midterm elections …”

George H. Kubeck - Obama’s hope and unity of 2008 will be replaced by European class warfare, divisions, smears & demonizing of opponents with a campaign of a billion dollars & the mainstream media for him.
