then there's home depot co-founder ken langone who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars against obama. he's upset he's not getting enough love. >> if we change the faces in the white house, we're on the road to recovery. >> you think it's that simple? >> i believe it's that simple. we need leadership. we need cheerleading. we need encouragement. we need businessmen and fat cats to feel like they're doing something good, not that they're villains and not that they're criminals. >> reporter: langone has doubled his net worth since obama's been president. and it's not just these men. no one has had it better in the obama era than the extraordinarily rich. >> if barack obama begins taxing me more than 50%, which is very possible, i don't know how much longer i'm going to do this. >> so why are some of the wealthiest americans complaining the most? because it works. take big oil. the united states is now on track to become the world's top oil producer. >> oil. the united states is enjoying an energy renaissance. >> needless to sate oil companies are doing just fine. >> it's a bonanza! and
