Election 2008

OK.  Here we go.  Today is the day.  Come on Barack… Lets get this done.  And PLEASE, don’t disappoint.  I’m keeping my eye on this Middle-Class America status.  Which is it? 250k, 180k, 200k?  I will admit that I have been a bit biased in my overview of candidates.  Who’s not, though?  At least I can admit it, right?  Well, to be frank, most of what Barack Obama has been stating has been consistent and unfaltering.  He is certainly a representative of consistency.  Quite unlike McCain who has changed strategy, approach, pitch and message.  McCain does NOT represent the majority of the country or what the majority of the country wants.  He represents much of the same as G. Bush.  (Does no one feel that impeachment/war crimes trial in order for the famed Bush?  I sure as hell do.  For if the same scenario occurred in another country, our government/president would certain lead a charge to do just that.) Obama, on the other hand, seems to be on the same page as the majority of the population here.  That majority being “middle class.”  He appears to have a deep and personal understanding of what it means (and is) to be a struggling, dedicated American.  Black or otherwise.  Something that John McCain and his $300k outfit per event wife CERTAINLY do not have even the remotest understanding of.

With that said, the definition of middle class, as defined by the Obama Campaign, has changed several times over the course of the campaign.  I don’t know if the purpose is proactively dynamic sort of evolutionary), simply an active response top a very organic election.  Does the government currently define middle class? And regardless of the answer to any of these, why such a wide range of numbers… from $100k to $250k?  Just last night I saw a new Obama ad and it clearly outlined the Dems definition as anyone making less than $200k per year.  If that holds true, I would take that as an acceptable figure.  And a reasonable one, at that.  If that’s the magic number, please stay with it and please make the policies work.

We (I) are holding you to your words.
