What is Obama going to do for the "bitter" voters in PA and elsewhere?

[Beaverhausen]

How is he going to help them if elected? Has he said anything?

Really, can we hear something positive from Obama and his supporters?

thanks. :hi:

[SoonerPride]

1. He's going to reverse the last 16 years of failed foreign trade policy

Started by the Clintons and continud under the shrub.

Thanks for asking.

[Beaverhausen]

10. sounds good. Anything more specific?

how will he change the trade policy?

[SoonerPride]

11. He won't have his wife lobby for a Colombian free trade deal while he is against it

That's one.

Two, he will stem the flow of job losses by giving tax breaks to companies who invest in America. Instead of how it works now, givign tax breaks to those who ship jobs overseas.

3. War dividends will be reinvested in America.

[Beaverhausen]

12. thank you

well, at least for your 2nd and 3rd points.

I'm just trying to see if issues can be discussed in a more postive light, without merely criticizing the other candidate.

[SoonerPride]

17. Point one is valid as well. With her spouse and Penn at odds with her stated position

It makes one seriously question if she IS against the free trade deal or not.

It does matter and is not merely style points.

It speaks to whether or not she will indeed be the champion of the worker or not.

[Beaverhausen]

22. but I want this thread to be about Obama, and not Hillary

your point is taken though.

[Hieronymus]

31. Actually, Hillary is her own worst enemy, except for, possibly, Bill.

27. Which part of the 90's didn't you like?

The peace or the prosperity?

Or were you still playing with teenage mutant ninja turtles?

2. I can counteract

that statement with "What will HRC do for the bitter voters in PA and elsewhere" that have been shafted by NAFTA/Outsourcing.

[Beaverhausen]

5. I'm asking what Obama is going to do

it's a serious question. I'm sure you can answer it.

[SoonerPride]

9. I answered it. I see you ignored me.

Maybe I'll return the favor.

[OhioChick]

13. Google is Your Friend.

And HRC?

[Beaverhausen]

16. first off, I'm not a Hillary supporter

second, I want to hear in people own words what Obama is going to do.

I'm listening to him right now. I want specifics. He's doing OK so far.

3. getting out of iraq frees up a lot of resources...

thats a good start.

4. Democrats who push this are just digging their own graves

Obama is almost certainly going to win the nomination and this spin of his comments is just going to hurt him in PA. Way to help make another fellow democrat lose come the GE Hillary supporters.

[LisaM]

6. Obama made the comments.

If he loses Pennsylvania voters, he will need to blame himself.

I can't figure out if he lost the election with those comments or if he was, in essence, conceding it.

[Beaverhausen]

7. how is this answering my question?

What is he going to do to make these people's lives better?

[stillcool]

28. Do you mean you haven't done...

any research at all? You can start here...

8. He is speaking at a townhall in IN right now. You can stream it here:

15. Can't anyone answer Beav's question?

:shrug:

[SoonerPride]

21. I did. Above. Thanks.

Try reading the thread.

[Catchawave]

29. You didn't and I did n/t

[blogslut]

14. Green jobs

There's a lot of possibilities for America if we embrace sustainable industry.

[Beaverhausen]

19. thats a good thing. Thanks

I totally support that.

[blogslut]

23. Yes, it is

Here's a great site for information and resources on Green building:

18. Bitter voters will be like sheep...nothing more

[Alhena]

20. Your little wavey sign is a wave goodbye- hello ignore file

[Beaverhausen]

24. whatever

geez- I think i'm asking a pretty simple question here, and getting some good responses. Not sure why this poster can't take someone asking what their candidate stands for.

25. He has a comprehensive plan to transform the working-class and small-town areas of this country...

including,

- a public/private partnership between the Federal Government and the Starbucks Corporation which will provide substantial tax breaks to encourage the opening of stores in areas of the nation currently lacking in access to lattes.

- the establishment of the Federal Makeover Agency -- the FMA will provide makeovers free of charge to working class and small town people who meet certain financial eligibility requirements. Classes will be run for men on the art of goatee grooming. People will also be kitted out with those glasses with the little narrow rectanglar frames, as well as black turtlencks, and of course, appropriate footwear: birkenstocks and other sandals, hipster-style pseudo-bowling shoes, dress shoes with a flat (rather than rounded or pointed) front, with buckles rather than laces. The federal government will also organize a nation-wide donation drive from undisadvantaged places (like San Fransisco) to collect gently-used items which can then be distributed through the FMA.

- a huge expansion in the funding of the Presidential Council on Physical Fitness to establish country-wide training programs that will expose the disadvantaged to sports they may not be well aware of, such as raquetball, windsurfing, and recumbent cycling. Once the people have more athletic options, maybe they'll stop bowling so much.

- providing free video cameras every young person in working class and/or small town America, so that they can all become independent film-makers.

This plan is desperately needed: only when we can turn the disadvantaged into latte liberals will they stop being such bitter gun-loving God-fearing anti-immigrant racists! They must be transformed! It's the fierce urgency of now!

26. Well, they don't want to give them health care

we know that. They also don't want anyone to question him, but simply worship at the altar of Obama.

30. I watched one of his Indiana speeches on streaming video. He answered your questions.

You want the link? Or are you just bitching?
