Obama's biggest mistake IMO: not emphasizing wealth disparity enough ... [View All]

yes, I know he has mentioned it, but if I were running Obama's campaign, I would make sure that every last Pennsylvania steelworker and Ohio truck driver had seen 15 ads emphasizing how the disparity between billionaires and working folk has grown during the Bush years, as a result of his tax cuts on the wealthy. When you get right down to it, that is likely the biggest change that Obama will be able to bring about.

I'm personally skeptical about whether Universal Health Care will really pass Congress, but I'm confident that Obama would raise taxes on billionaires while McCain would not. Once working class people truly understand it, they will have to know that they are giving money to billionaires out of their own pocket by voting for McCain. I don't think they will do that.

So I would make this and the imminent demise of Roe v. Wade the cornerstones of my campaign. Those are real issues that effect real peoples' lives- it's much more specific than talk of "change."
