Credit where credit is due. I'm an Edwards supporter, but Obama has a history of doing work in some of the impoverished areas of Chicago.
I believe he is reluctant to be as strident about it as Edwards in this campaign because even though he (Obama) feels passionately about this, he wants to be seen as a positive candidate. No one likes poor people shoved in their face - it makes them depressed and uncomfortable.
I am quite confident that if Obama were president, he would do a lot to help the poor.
What's funny is I see Edwards being more of a fighter on rural poverty and Obama on urban. They're not exactly the same.
Edwards/Obama 08!
