Obama casts Republicans as party of the rich - Yahoo! News
The Democrats are the party of welfare dwellers, illegal aliens, homeboys, the lazy, hippies, druggies, Wall Street, Union thugs, ambulance chasing lawyers, etc.
So? Obama is not the first or the last politician to use class as a means to sway voters or make his opponents look bad. Sarah Palin cultivates a folksy mom persona. George Bush was the guy you could have a beer with. Bill Clinton loved junk food and was called the first 'MTV President.'
It's nothing new, but it is blatant lies since most national politicians in the modern era enjoy a fairly wealthy lifestyle.
