If Obama is re-elected, he will be as bad or worse than the Republican because he IS one after all.
Obama and the Democrats are well aware that this move will drive millions more people into the already exploding ranks of the poor, homeless and malnourished.

They have rejected any measures to create jobs or provide serious relief for the unemployed not just because the ruling elite opposes any reduction of its wealth to meet social needs. The ruling class has a deliberate strategy to keep unemployment high and use economic insecurity and social misery as battering rams to destroy the wages and conditions of the working class.Obama personifies the cynicism and contempt of the ruling class for the broad mass of the people. He spoke Wednesday at a factory in Milwaukee, where he touted his policy of “in-sourcing” jobs from abroad. He omitted the fact that this is based on driving down the wages of US workers. “I’m glad to see that Congress seems to be on the way to making progress on extending the payroll tax cut… as soon as Congress sends the extension of this tax cut and unemployment insurance to my desk, I will sign it right away,” he said.
