Barack Obama has staked his re-election to a class warfare campaign in which he hopes to get people to vote for him because he’s against “the rich.” The problem with that is that “the rich” are the wrong target, argues Steve Conover in this post. The right target is the class of predators and parasites who live well at government expense, he argues. Naturally, Obama won’t attack them (more accurately, federal largesse that benefits them) because they are among his biggest backers.
If significant numbers of voters in Obama’s “base” figure out that he’s playing them for chumps, he’ll crash worse than Jimmy Carter.
