Two words you won’t find in Obama’s platform
“Poverty”
“Inequality”
Actually, this isn’t quite true. “Poverty” appears twice–once in reference to the Congo, and another time in reference to children without fathers in the home.
Inequality doesn’t appear at all.
I don’t plan to support Clinton, so I don’t even plan to go to her website and check…but if I were to check I’d probably see the same pattern.
Pre-emptive critiques that some may make in response:
If he talks about poverty he won’t win.
Platforms don’t matter.
Is there anyone out there better?
You are expecting too much from him.
List others that I’ve missed. If I get a chance I’ll respond in either another post, or in the comments.
