Can Obama Win if he Concedes the Center?

At Political Hotwire

By Burning Giraffe:

Here is what Obama should say,

"You say that America is a Capitalist nation, and as such is a land of opportunity? Well, where is that opportunity now? Unemployment is going up, the housing market has collapsed, small businesses can't do business, and even if you're making the same as you were in 2001, your dollar doesn't buy as much today as it did then. Don't buy into the hype! Because John McCain and the Republican Party make their living supporting a small corporate elite. You don't know these people because you don't elect them. They just cash your checks. President Bush and John McCain are essentially nothing more than the FACE of American Big Business. So it's Big Business versus Big Government. Who gets hurt by Big Government? The Rich. But the Rich can afford it. Who gets hurt by Big Business? Poor people. The VERY people who can least afford to be harmed.

My Fellow Americans, Never before have we needed Big Government like we do today. We are facing big problems. Can you fix it? No, you can't. Not because you aren't smart, capable, or creative, but because you can't, and your family can't, provide order in such a complex world. You need government. I know, we may be the punching bag over many dinner table conversations. But you need Government. You need government to do big things right. President Bush is a Big Government Republican, just like John McCain, and President Bush did Big Things badly. We'll, I'm going to do big things too, but I'm going to do them right. I'm going to listen to the people and provide them with the basic services they need to flourish as a people in a global economy".


It could work, but it would take a great deal of courage.

Just Recently, the Government is buying private sector including the bail out under Bush administration which happened not to approved. The Federal Government is doing this to centralize the planning and all over to control the economic system. Also the Government proposes to convert its preferred stock into common equity, which poses a problem: it'll be very hard for the government to retain less than 40% ownership stakes when the conversions are complete; the conversion price would have to be around $20 dollars per common share, which is a almost ten times as much as a common share is now worth.

Well, the economy is on it's lowest Troughs. I think one factor that makes it even worse is the Government Tax Problem. The National Republican Congressional Committee is taking aim at newly picked Democratic candidate Scott Murphy in the 20th Congressional race, saying he owes $21,550 in back taxes and penalties in 1997 and 1998 for a company he owned, Small World Software, Inc.
