Obama: Blowing Off Or Blowing It

Obama has made his campaign rhetoric resound with "bringing people together" and working "for all people", yet he has decided to "blow off" the blue collar white workers totally. Is this working to help all people, or only those special interest groups he can sway with his forked tongue? He says that in the general election, he can win the Presidency without those states. Can he? Time will tell. If he does win the the general election by carrying 90% of the black vote and less than 25% of the blue collar white worker vote, will that bring the country together, or will that further divide it? Once he is President and starts working more to help the blacks in this country at the expense of the white middle class, will that bring the country together? He is saying by his actions that only certain people matter and he will choose who those people are and reward them at the expense of the others. His lack of campaigning in West Virginia as well as his unwillingness to debate Hillary in North Carolina shows that he is playing the same old political game that he has vowed to change. The change he talks so fervently about will be the money in his pocket and those of his chosen and will be taken out of the middle class and blue collar workers. Let's hope this politicking of old blows up in his face.
