Quick Questions on Politics
(Note: I'm not trying to stir controversy here - I'm genuinely asking these questions)
One
Is Obama wrong with his comments? I get that the wording is wrong - but is the sentiment, the facts of the situation wrong? Set aside the audience - which is the biggest issue, just watch - and look at the content of the statement. Is what he said WRONG? I've never been in small-town America long enough to understand it, so I'm asking - is. he. wrong.?
Two
Hillary Clinton is the champion of the middle class, and Barack Obama is the representative of the elite. Okay, I get that this is how they're portrayed. But why? What makes Hillary the champion of the middle class? What has she done for the Middle Class? Why do blue collar voters flock to her? Do they really flock to her? Most importantly - do they flock to her because they just won't flock to him, and they need someone to ... flock to?
Three
Barack Obama didn't vote for the war. That's nice. He also COULDN'T vote for the war, nor could he vote against it. Why doesn't Hillary make more of an issue of this? Obama didn't vote for the war, but he also didn't vote for a host of things that people DO benefit from. Because he couldn't. Because he wasn't there. I don't understand how the Clinton campaign isn't hammering him on the OTHER things that he couldn't/didn't vote for. It seems like such an obvious win to me. Am I wrong there?
