Yay! More class warfare.  That will surely fix everything and get you re-elected Obama. Oh wait, no it won't.

@ chocoloco

I wouldn't put too much merit in those polls. Especially since a Repulican just won a seat in New York (of all places) that had been held by Democrats for nearly 90 years.  In a district that is 3 to 1 in favor of Democrats.

Why the heck is it class warfare ONLY when it involves someone saying that those not in the upper class are getting the short end of the stick?  But if economic conditions result in the middle and lower class making NO progress, and the wealth accumulates predominantly at the top, that isn't class warfare?  If you have an economic system rigged so elites get bail outs, and people end up falling further behind, and dying without any health coverage, that isn't class warfare, but to bring it up is?

In short, it isn't class warfare, apparently, when it is only the lower classes that get the short end of the stick.  That is just thrown under "that is the price of freedom".
