This subject has been on my to-do list for several days. Since the TW can't equal news services for timliness, it is better to wait a few days to see what thoughts crystallize on the subject, then publish those that the networks will not mention or even consider.
Consider the Tunnel Wall to be the anti-NBC. The Tunnel Dweller
'They Don't Need Our Votes' From the Nov. 30 Wall Street Journal: "Would there be any compensating gains? Maybe, if one assumes there is a significant segment of the electorate that is antipathetic toward Hispanics. Similarly, it could be that the Democrats' disrespecting of the [white working class] is a tactic aimed at playing to the prejudices of other Democratic-leaning voters, especially college-educated whites. Recall that then-Sen. Obama delivered his notorious disquisition on "bitter clingers" to a well-heeled cackle of rads in San Francisco."....
"It is important for them not to believe that all is lost--that Obama still has a credible shot at re-election. Openly ceding the WWC to the GOP, even if it actually ends up harming Obama's re-election prospects, may be the price these strategists feel they have to pay in order to make credible their claim that Obama has any path to victory at all."
An opening for Romney, if he's smart enough. "For all of Joe Biden's nostalgia about the blue-collar virtues of his home town (where he hasn't lived since the early days of the Eisenhower administration), the coal mines shut down years ago and many in the white working class have been drifting to the Republican Party."
Obama’s Reelection Strategy Is Riddled With Problems "Essentially, it all comes down to three big goals:
"Is this a feasible approach?
"At this point, it's not likely. I could go on at length about all of its problems, but let’s just look at the three biggest dilemmas I see."
Obama Is About To Make A Big Class Warfare Speech, And Echo A Republican President At The Same Time.
"Roosevelt used his 'New Nationalism' speech to launch his failed bid for the presidency in 1912, and it's safe to say that Obama's speech on Tuesday will draw from Roosevelt to lay much of the intellectual framework for his reelection bid."
Roosevelt's legacy is the national park system with its mountains and forests; Obama's legacy will be the "#Occupiers" with their drugs, vandalism and public bowel movements.
Ryan Rejects Obama’s ‘Class Warfare’
Obama's official campaign theme: Fairness "The Democrats have been using that “fairness” line for quite some time, and it works. Just take the tried and true accusation that “the rich need to pay their fair share” of taxes. It matters not that the top 1% of income earners earn about 19% of all earned income, but pay around 39% of all income taxes. It matters not that the majority of American households pay no income tax at all. Remember .. these voters -- especially the voters the Democrats are relying on for votes – are largely government educated and will make no attempt whatsoever to find the facts on who pays what."

Obama’s Reelection Strategy Is Riddled With Problems "Essentially, it all comes down to three big goals:
1. Do as well with the non-white vote as Obama did in 2008, with the expectation that it continues to increase as a share of the total electorate.....
2. Hold steady with upscale white voters, who tend to be more focused on quality of life issues like environmentalism.
3. Mitigate losses among the white working class, but expect to lose this group once again.

The difference in discrinimation(sic) is simple. You have a choice whether to be hard working or a bum. It is sort of hard to switch skin color or sex (despite "Chaz" Bono and Michael Jackson). They increase the taxes on things they don't like to get less of it (think cigarettes or other "sin taxes"). So, in this White House, is being a millionaire (or 200-thousandaire) the new sin?

From Taegan Goddard's Political Wire: Invoking Theodore Roosevelt "First Read: "Is this the re-election message? The Obama campaign does still seem to searching for one, or at least struggling to refine it." "
