He’s happy because the people getting all this money are going to send him some of it for his election campaign, so they can get even more:
Real wages fell in 2011, despite record corporate profits. “There’s never been a postwar era in which unemployment has been this high for this long,” explained labor economist Gary Burtless. “Workers are in a very weak bargaining position.”
Between 2009 and 2011, 88 percent of national income growth went to corporate profits, while just 1 percent went to wages, a stat that is “historically unprecedented.”
So, we, the 99% got 1%, and the 1% got 88% of Obama’s economic boom.
Is there any indication this is going to change anytime soon?

Nope! That’s why voting for him is basically ‘throwing your vote away.’
No, no, no! If reelected, he will be able to show his true love for the 99%. He will prosecute the criminals that used fraudulent means to dispossess people of their homes. He will allow the importation of meds from Canada to reduce costs. He will lead the repeal of the ndaa and the citizenship stripping law (I’m not sure exactly how to refer to it). He will immediately close Gitmo and end the wars. He will stop harassing Iran because Israel will be curtailed in its ethnic cleansing and land grabbing. I could go on, but I’m sure that you have many examples of the great things he will do.
Whew! I’m so relieved. Thanks, BC. \s
