Obama's Greatest Achievement as a Candidate...

[rucky]

With some help from our economy, Obama is finally getting a message out there that Trickle-Down/Supply-Side Economics is a miserable failure. So many people have bought into the trickle-down scam, and of course we had to learn the hard way, but Obama has put that in the front of his message - making the connection between Republican policy and what's happening now - and hammering it home.

I hope this makes people realize that they've been voting against their best interests. They've gotten no direct benefit from trickle-down. It's not keeping their jobs stable AT ALL, and they see how much the CEO's make and I think we all know now that if you give a corporation a handout - they'll pocket it.

He's doing this without crying "class war", but he's framing his message in a way where people are drawing these conclusions on their own. He's making a clear distinction between Democratic and Republican economic policies, and demonstrating that our policy is better for working people.

1. He's doing great at explaining the tax philosophy difference too

He is hammering home the reality that to turn around the federal debt situation, spending cuts alone won't do it and trickle down economics has failed so we must get more taxes from those who have been rewarded the most with high incomes and profits.

2. Mobilizing people of every age, gender, race and income level

That will be a lasting effect.
