A two-minute advertisement in which Senator Obama speaks directly to the nation on his view of the state of the economy and what he would do to fix it if he is elected president.
“The ad offers a link to Obama’s economic policy, but a better analysis might be this recent NY Times article that tries to figure out whether Obama is the leftist regulator that a WSJ editor claimed or the corporate mouthpiece described by labor union leaders.
In order to move into a postpartisan era, we must be more concerned is more with practical realities rather than ideology. Ideology is about trying to fit your square peg into a round hole and blaming anything but your peg for not working. “Obamanomics,” as the article coins the phrase, doesn’t care about ideology, it’s just about taking a pragmatic chisel to that square peg.
How?
• Using free-market systems to end corporate lobbying rather than encourage it.
• Changing the tax code so families making more than $250,000 pay more.
• Investing in domestic alternative energy and roads to create middle-class jobs.
“Doing these things won’t be easy… but we’re Americans.”
