re: #117 Obdicut
No, you’re not really interested in that. To end this, here’s what I think:
I think that both Republicans and Democrats routinely attempt to polarize their audiences into ’ like us ’ and ’ not like us ’ camps. Since Obama’s experience growing up was arguably not one that the majority of Americans would say ’ Oh yeah, that was me too ‘, pointing that out would be one of the ways for a Republican to do just that. A Democrat might point his finger at someone and say ’ (Insert R candidate here)______ doesn’t know what it is to join a union, or walk a picket line, or have parents whose first language is not English, or live in a walk-up, or work in a coal mine…. ’ .
