Is the pressure Obama's under too much to live up to?

There is no compassion left in this country.

Yea, I don't beleive this.. I don't make over $250k, actually far below that. I don't even make 6 figures but I am part of a charity foundation where I have the opportunity to help hundreds of people myself and the entire foundation actually helps thousands. I don't do it cause I have to, I do cause I want to. There is still a lot of compassion left in the world. My Charity is actually a brainstorm of a Multi-millionaire before he passed. He had more money than he could spend but gave a large amount of it away every year. He tried not to give it to the Government as much as possible but gave it away to places that really need it.

I don't beleive giving an organization like the government more money in taxes is going to help anything when the corrupt politicians continue to spend money on "Wooden Aeroheads for Boy Scouts" and "Golden Toilet Seats". Instead i would rather be able to give money to places and organizations that I know will use it for the growth and progress of the common people, not the politicians pockets or their Pork barrel spending causes.

I do the same! I help whenever I can. I will be out this weekend in teh L'ville community

I guess I could rephrase and say there is not ENOUGH compassion in this country.

Again, I was focused on the big business and political arena, but I get your point.

Yea, I just don't agree with paying more taxes, it's throwing good money after bad. Let the people decide what to give their money to. We pay enough taxes now. If we pull out of Iraq we will save a fortune and if we can some how weed out all the bad spending in Washington we can save a ton more and get back to doing business instead of being corrupt and only worrying about #1. Washington is corrupt:fact. I hope Obama can fix this. I won't hold my breath, but I have hope as we all should even though some didn't vote for him, have hope in your new free world leader.
