The Daily Skunk

I just got this email today, interesting. Biased of course, but just shows how out of touch all presidential cadidates are with the average person - especially McCain.

Yeah Yeah, I hear it already - Not Obama he is for us, the middle class. He can relate.

To that I say listen close… NO, he cannot possibly relate to you or me or anyone who is reading this (all 2 or 3 of you… lol). Anyone who has a worth in excess of 100,000 million cannot possibly relate us, or even the lower end deci-millionaires, as McCain clearly points out.

Anyway, here it is and I removed my state and put insert yours here. That and removing an internet address “to make my voice heard” on Barack’s site is the only change I made.

Dear Friend,

John McCain said in an interview yesterday that he’s lost track of how many houses he has.

Think about that: he actually has so many houses that he actually can’t remember how many he owns.

Every day that goes by, Senator McCain shows just how out of touch he is with the struggles of everyday people—whether it’s offering billions more in tax breaks for the oil companies or declaring that multimillionaires are members of the middle class.

We can’t afford another president who doesn’t get it.

That’s why it’s so important to tell your friends, family, and neighbors more about Barack – who he is and where he stands on the issues that matter most to (insert your state here).

You can make a difference right now by writing a letter to the editor of your local paper and sharing with your community why John McCain is simply out-of-touch with the struggles of everyday people and why Barack is right on the economy and right for (insert your state here).

As president, Barack Obama will put the middle class first. He’ll pass a middle class tax cut that gives 95 percent of working Americans a tax cut of up to $1,000—and he’ll give families an emergency energy rebate to help folks cope with rising prices. He’ll offer students a $4,000 tax break to pay for tuition in exchange for doing 100 hours of community service. And he’ll raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation.

John McCain’s tax plan leaves out 101 million middle class families—and gives tax breaks to the oil companies and multimillionaires instead. And he’ll offer more of the same tax breaks and giveaways to companies that ship jobs overseas, leading to the loss of millions of American jobs.

The choice is clear. Barack Obama will be on your side. John McCain won’t.
