I dont hear anyone complaining about gas prices , inflation or on work. Someone told me this morning that people dont care about getting back to work..that was his explanion for Obama’s support.
Believe me, people are crying (at least in their hearts) when they get back from the weekly grocery shopping, or from getting gas after a hard week of work—if they’re lucky enough to have work. They’re exhausted after weeks of trying to find work, with no success.
If their lack of success is due to changes in their industry that have sent all their jobs overseas or abolished them altogether, then they may know whom to blame (unless the unions have handed them a line of balderdash that “it’s all the bosses’ fault”, and they believe it).
Then there is the fear that their doctor will retire early, and that they will have trouble finding another one, and if they or their children get sick, it’s all over.
It shouldn’t be too hard for Republican candidates to remind middle class Americans about their daily and weekly worries and heartbreaks, and to place the blame squarely where it belongs.
