Because that wasn't the context of the comment.

See Spence, he cant do that, he cant highlight successful people, then his base will say "Hey, you mean I still have to work to be succesful under Obama"?
He cant be seen siding with "The MAn"
Everything he has done since taking office is to SCREW hard working people who get paid well.

That's not the point.

The comments you posted were comparing the average Joe in the Midwest to the top people earing hugh salaries in the financial industry, the people who are making millions regardless if they're successful or not and having the taxpayer (i.e. the average Joe in the Midwest) bail them out, and about Obama (being president) having to reconcile the situation.

What exactly has Obama done to screw people that get paid well? Let's see, he's decided not to extend some of Bush's tax cuts that are set to expire next year. Hmmm, were these people getting screwed under Clinton, because as I remember they seemed to be doing quite well.
