| Obama worried over fraying US social fabric: Report |
| 2013-07-29 |
| [Al Ahram] Obama said the financial meltdown of several years ago is still having a negative economic impact on middle and working class Americans, who already have been losing ground for at least a generation. Oh, damn that George Bush! |

| #19 I just realized something. "Obama said the financial meltdown of several years ago is still having a negative economic impact on middle and working class Americans, who already have been losing ground for at least a generation." If a generation's more than thirteen years, does this mean they're finally admitting the Clinton administration was worse than they said? |

| #15 I stand by my prediction --- unless something happens to Obama, 22nd amendment is dead after 2014 elections (where I expect new DOJ anti-election fraud task force to shine). |

| #14 I think you have him pegged exactly right Trailing Wife. But that still will not prevent him from using every power granted to him by the presidential office to enact destruction on the capitalistic system which drives our beloved American way of life. The man is lazy to the core. But his slothfulness is so overpowed by his own insatiable narcissism it will continue to propell him onto the global stage for decades. Add Michelle Obama to the mix and it conjurs up to some pretty ugly predictions. I would portray the future Obama as a globe trotting Al Sharpton on steroids, except Al Sharpton is only a racist. Obama hates everything about America except whatever feeds his own narcissism.  |

| #13 Middle class was not losing ground for a generation, they were putting gains into housing which was doing well until the pop. |

| #12 "until he's out of office" Nope, he wants it to happen as soon as possible so he can stop the elections and stay in power. I suspect our beloved president can't wait to retire. So long as he's in the White House people will keep demanding he actually do things and negotiate with people and stuff. Once he is officially retired, he can charge lots of money to make speeches during the day, while the evenings can be devoted to being feted and photographed and consulted in private dining rooms without having to do the work of studying up on the issues. That man was born to be retired. |

| #11 She gets it right after she voted for him. I stopped listening to her. She has the hutzpah of Wiener. Why does any conservative listen to her? |

| #7 The "fraying" began after Second Manassas. It's, it's, it's apartheid America I tell you! We've simply never recovered from the forced diaspora and Lee's slave holder wrath. |

| #4 C'mon, Jim. It won't be his fault no matter when it happens. It is either Bush's fault, or the Republicans, or the Tea Party, or someone else's fault. Never Obama's. Nothing is his fault. Ever. |

| #3 NO, he wants it to hold together until he's out of office. THEN fail. (Can't be his fault then) |
