Obama and the class question......................

[nhboy (Premo)]

"For the past two weeks, all eyes have focused on Barack Obama and race. A couple of weeks ago, it was Hillary Clinton's gender. A month before that, it was all about the Obama surge among young voters.

Pundits on all sides have framed this election - and especially the Democratic primary - as turning on the traditional fault lines of race, gender and generation.

The talk shows go on and on about how Mr. Obama is attracting black and young voters and how Ms. Clinton finds her voice among women and baby boomers.

But what is seldom discussed and yet most interesting about this election is not any young-vs.-old, black-vs.-white, or male-vs.-female dynamic.

At bottom, both the Democratic primary and the upcoming general election turn on an even deeper economic and social force: class."

globeandmail.com: Obama and the class question

Dude!!! How deep into the toilet did you have to dig to find this piece? The "Creative" Class? This guy is a Canadian who thinks he can analyze classes in America from a far, and he's no better at it than any other foreigner.

The author of this piece tries to play himself off as an objective reporter, but a Google of "Richard Florida" shows that this article is nothing buy an ad for his book. He is actually the head of the Creative Class Group and an author who has written a book on this supposed group and who's hyping his work.

But the dude may be right. The Democrats have always used class (richer vs. poorer, employed vs. employer, unemployed vs. employer, uninsured vs. employer, black vs. the rest, green vs. the rest) as their discriminator. Obama runs on race (and nothing better despite the protestations of his supporters), Shrillary runs on gender. Whichever faces the Reublicans will run on have-nots vs haves.

Did you read the article? This clown thinks that there is some secret "Creative" class that Obama is tapping into. I have heard of a lot of classes in this country, but a new Creative class???

When it comes to class Hillary and Bill are definitely in the trailer trash class.

Obama is above them head and shoulders in the class category.

Think about the rubbers on the White House Christmas Tree and the taking of the White House furniture. The cigar sex and masturbating in the sink. I am sure Obama is far bove that type of thing.

When it come to class Hill&Bill have none.
