Happy birthday, Mr. President!

Today is President Barack Obama's 50th birthday. Yesterday, he celebrated with a huge fundraiser in which the top donors gave up to $35,800 each to be there. Of course, these are the same people whom the President loves to bash. He loves ripping on the rich as much as he loves ripping them off. With higher taxes, bloated govern-ment, skyrocketing deficits, and the threat of a credit downgrade, among other things, President Obama has made life miserable for all Americans.

He keeps delivering the same old line that the rich with their fancy private jets should be paying more. How much more can they give? The top one percent of income earners pay 40% of the taxes. And talk about fancy jets, they don't get any fancier than Air Force One. Fortunately, Obama will have to give up his jet on January 20th,
2013 at noon EST.

And with less than one hour to go in trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones is down more than 300 points. Talk about a disappointing birthday gift. It's a far cry from the birthday song that Marilyn Monroe gave to President John Kennedy. So happy 50th birthday, Mr. President. I want to give you America's economy as my gift to you. I mean it is your economy now, isn't it?
