President Obama’s recent weekly radio addresses on the “rich” and taxes could hardly be more insulting, offensive, and condescending to people who over decades work long hours to create wealth, value, and employment.  FDR said similar things in his fireside radio chats during a time when Nazism and communism posed serious threats abroad, and the great depression created a risk of serious social unrest at home.  This isn’t the 1930s, and Obama is no FDR.
