Obama’s Assessment of Working Class America
There is some data that I want to look at in this context: the correlation between income and religion. The Pew Forum on Religion has published data of income by religious affiliation. Except for Jews and Hindus, religious affiliation decreases with income. Nationally, 50% of people who are affiliated with a religion make less than the median U.S. household income (or about $48,000 in 2006). But, apparently, it is not okay to talk about relationships like that. Instead of lambasting Obama, it is time to start a national dialog about how to ensure that we’re not loosing the middle class. Part of that discussion needs to include understanding why people are religious, think guns are important, and, most importantly, why they are antipathetic.
There’s now a blog devoted to Bitter Voters for Obama. Arianna Huffington has also weight in with the sad recommendation that McCain can go on vacation since Hillary is doing his work for him.
