I had a thought this morning about R-Money's claim that Pres. Obama is attacking success.. [View all]
If I were the President, and had to fend off this attack, It would sound something like this...
I have no more animosity toward Mitt Romney for being insanely rich than I would toward a rattlesnake for having poison in its teeth. But the thing that Romney would have you believe, that I disagree with, is this: that the enlightened acceptance of the nature of snakes is an acceptable justification for putting that rattlesnake in a baby's crib; and it's not. Hating a snake FOR BEING a snake is unenlightened and in some sense, seems a bit prejudicial. But that doesn't mean you do something profoundly stupid with the snake in question.
It's simple and concise, and it would let Obama tap a lot of populist emotion in BOTH parties, while still being able to counter the argument that we all just hate success and the occasional great wealth that comes with it.
Thoughts on this thought?
