(37,573 posts)was "trying his heart out". Obama sent me a fundraising letter claiming that he was "fighting for me all the time". I tore it to pieces and mailed it back in the postage paid envelope.
And I did not put the cart before the horse. I did not say "he's worth $150 million so he must be wrong"
I said "he's wrong, and the fact that he's worth $150 million helps to explain WHY". His net worth gives him a slightly different perspective than somebody with MY income has.
Garth, unlike myself and Debs, cannot say "if there is a lower class, I am in it".
Instead, he gets quoted as part of the propaganda to convince the lower class that "Obama really WANTS to help you. He's TRYING to help you. But he can't, the system won't let him."
So, like Bill Clinton, Obama will spend the rest of his life crying all the way to the bank.
