I'm afraid Obama may be too far left. It might just be compaign rhetoric. What he believes in isn't wrong, but it's always wrong to focus on the extreme ends. I haven't heard that he said anything at all about Acorn. The poor need to be enfranchaized and protected from supression, but there's no excuse for fraud. Do things the right way. But is Acorn Obama and Obama Acorn? That's what's in doubt.

The only thing that fixes poverty is education and employment. But th poor have to have the drive to climb out, too. They have to be willing to do the work. Oprah, Cosby and many others came from lower economic circumstances and worked for their lives. Like Obama did.

What do they say? If you help a chicken out of its shell, it'll always be weak and unhealthy if it even lives.

But success in this country seems to be based on income. Money. A waitress is just as successful as a human as an Oprah. They do need to be paid enough to live on, however, and need health and retirement benefits just as much as Oprah does. There's the conflict.

The wealthy deserve benefits cause they make a lot of money and others don't cause they haven't worked as hard for lots of money? No, they work harder for less money and no respect and no way to pay bills.

See? It's a problem.
