1) Class Warfare

I’m tired of hearing Obama champion the middle class. He mentioned how teachers are struggling to pay the bills at night. What? My family has TWO teachers, and we’re doing just fine. I don’t want a President who tries to pit the “middle class” against the “rich.”

His tax cuts for 95% of Americans? How do you get a tax cut when when you don’t pay any income taxes to begin with? Oh wait, that’s called redistribution of wealth, aka socialism. But it’s cool to run on a platform of hating the rich and hoping there are enough jealous voters that will support you.

On 20/20 they showed a clip of Obama’s time as a community organizer. It was a bad part of town that went south after a steel plant or something closed. He got a bunch of women together though to go make some demands from their city leaders! The demand? That the government remove the asbestos from their government housing. Haha. Go government!

2) Besides trying to convince people that rich folk are evil, his only other tactic is to convince people that McCain is the same as Bush. He can’t go more than two sentences without trying to equate the two men. I understand doing it a couple times as good strategy, but after months and months it’s just become silly. We get it Obama, you don’t like Bush, you know a lot of other people don’t like Bush, but McCain is actually a different person.

Overall I think McCain came across as more knowledegable, and he should in this debate. This is McCain’s bread and butter. Sometimes I wish McCain would get a little more philosophical and talk about the role of government and that it’s not the government’s job to take care of people, but I’m not sure he could do that. Are there so many people now who expect the government to take care of them that making any suggestion to the contrary is political suicide?
