Edwards and Clinton want to create a health care plan and require everyone participate in it.

Obama wants to create a health care plan that everyone will want to participate in.



The difference is that Obama puts the pressure on the government to create a plan that people will be happy with.

The others put the pressure on people to be happy with what the government decides on.



You can see this attitude throughout the campaign.

The LBJ/MLK thing.

Clinton (not Edwards, leaving him out of this one) made the point that LBJ signed legislation.

Obama praised the grass roots movement that made that legislation possible.



I don't know if I can make it any simpler.. Power to the government or Power to the people.
Establishment v. anti-establishment



Is any of this making sense?



EDIT.. Doh, more than one example.. sorry
