Obama’s entitlements are eroding our country

Who cares if Mitt Romney has money or not. What Americans want is an individual who knows how to run a business and, most important, understands finances. It's pretty clear we don't have a president who understands you can't spend more than you take in and survive. How more obvious can it be when we have a president pushing the Buffett Rule (minimum of 30 percent tax on those making more than a million a year), when that would only bring in $4.6 billion a year - 17 days worth of Obama's 2011 spending spree.

Our president has more interest in promoting confrontation among people than unifying people. A growing number of Americans feel we have a president who is extremely smart and knows exactly what he is doing - slowly/effectively eroding this great country in a way that many Americans can't see. The more he entitles to the poor/uneducated, the more votes he gets. What does America then become - a poor/uneducated, socialized European style nation, broke and totally reliant on their leader/dictator.
