Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    I looked at the article you linked to and the very first thing that popped out at me was this sentence:

    Can you see the dignified Colin Powell using this dog-whistle?

    I'm sorry, but someone who lies to drag our country into a disastrous and totally unnecessary war is hardly "dignified".

    Colin Powell forgot "The Powell Doctrine" as soon as it became disadvantageous for him politically and literally millions of innocent people are paying a horrendous price.

    Why should I bother to read the rest of the article when the very first thing I see is total garbage?

    By the way, I'm no Obamaton, you can check my previous posts and see that I'm a very harsh critic of Obama.
