I couldn't have agreed more when Dan Rodricks stated the Wall Street protesters didn't start class warfare ("Occupiers didn't start the class warfare," Oct. 23), but I sure know who did. That well-deserved honor goes to our current, illustrious President Barack Obama.

His presidency is so bogged down by failures and wrong choices (despite his recent arrogant claim that every choice he's made has been the right one) that his only hope of being re-elected lies in his ability to pit one against the other. In his convoluted mind, this disastrous class warfare will go a long way in deflecting attention away from his abysmal performance as our commander-in-chief. Pretty slick if you ask me!
