Obama needs to flat out tell "working whites" what's up
He needs to just come out and say that his policies for working people are virtually the same as Hillary's. Notice how Hillary just keeps repeating that working people are "for" her. She never gives any reasons why they are, or should be.

Sometimes staying above the fray is counter productive. Obama should just lay it on the line. The facts are on his side.

3. "People saw through him."
Could you expand on and clarify this remark? Some of us are a little dense around here - we might even think transparency is a GOOD thing.

13. "Working whites" is just racist dog-whistle.
What's opposite of "working whites?"

That's right, lazy blacks.

14. Yup.
Why does this seem like such a stretch to so many DUers? I really did think our ears were more honed to this kind of stuff.

:shrug:

20. Obama's half white
Hillary's all white, as far as I know. But her husband was the first black president. So it's kinda confusing ... :freak:

21. Don't fall into the race trap. It's not race, but class and age.
