    :lol:

    you cant be this dumb but ill play along...

    are you saying that in all of chicago, or all of LA, 200k is poor?

    because that would just be fucking moronic, so you cant be saying that, right?

    the average income in the most affluent zip code of chicago is $62,345.96, so making 3 times that is still poor right?

    manhattan is $66,818...so again, 3x that is poor right?

    and what is "manhattan is 3M" even mean anyways? the link shows 119,047 households with > 200k income in manhattan

    conservatives have no grasp on reality once again, and when faced with it, often grow hostile

    And you don't think Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi had the same goal in 2004 and 2008? Of course congressional leaders want to see the candidate from their party win the White House. The difference was the way McConnell phrased it. The House has negotiated and negotiated, but Reid won't even bring up a budget. Obama's budgets were so ridiculous, they didn't receive a single vote, either Democrat or Republican. And healthcare legislation? It was presented as a "take it or leave it" proposition by the Democrats. When confronted with a broken filibuster (thanks to Scott Brown), they rammed it through on a technicality. When the "stimulus" bill came up for debate, Obama claimed "I won". It takes two to tango, and the only ones who want to dance are the Republicans.

    Again, I think you're dramatically underestimating how far to the Left the Obama/Pelosi agenda has been. The size of government has increased from roughly 20% of GDP to 25%, and that's without Obamacare. Of course Republicans have a problem with the policies. Yet those on the Left personalize it because they can't justify why Obama can't get a deal done. "It has to be because they HATE him. How can it be anything else?"

    Again, you fail to explain how Clinton can work with Gingrich--someone far to the right of Boehner--yet Obama can't work with the Speaker. Bush worked with Pelosi, he worked with Ted Kennedy. Reagan worked with Tip O'Neill. The failure is Obama's.

    Easily 3MM people in the Tri-State metro area make over $200K. The number is probably higher.

    If you're living in the nice parts of those cities, sure. Doesn't it make sense that those cities are expensive to live, the higher paying jobs are generally in the bigger cities.

    :crazy:

    The point is that even your Dear Leader thinks $200K is middle class. And it's not just the "nicer" parts. Just buying a house can be cripplingly expensive, and home ownership should be part and parcel of being middle class.

    Republican strategists must be up an arms about Romney's latest gaffes. Oh, man, the meltdown is going to be fun to watch. Wonder if it will be of Herman Cain proportions.

    We're talking about how people you would think are "rich" are actually middle-class. Barack Obama agrees with me.

    That's certainly the narrative the Democrats would like to create.

    A few things. First, no one said "poor". Second, there's this thing in statistics called "distribution". While the average may be one number, very rich and very poor live next to one another.

    Really? That's the best half a Gonzaga education can do? Disappointing. Go back, re-read the posts and try again.

    We've gone over this a few times. Never attended Gonzaga. Just a lowly Union honk.
