It comes down to an old war-monger against a young populist.
McCain wants to be your 'war-president' too. He wants to attack 2 or 3 countries to top Bush, who he hates!
Obama wants to flog the rich (good idea), and bring more of the underclass into the ranks of the dwindling middle class (noble cause, but one term will need to be sacrificed just to try and reverse the damage that Bush has caused).
What do you propose for bringing the underclass into the middle class?
How about the old fashioned way that people have done it for years now... work hard, get a good education, set goals and achieve them, teach your children to not repeat your mistakes, and take responsibility for your own failures and mistakes.
I guess if that doesn't work, there's always dropping out of school, having illegitimate kids, doing drugs, committing crime, blaming everyone else for your problems, and electing an unqualified person to be President.
Please show me where Obama's economic plan proposes a good flogging of the rich. Is it posted on his web site?

Just hand over huge checks to them?
Well, just cutting out some of the tax perks the wealthy individuals and corporations like Obama wants to do, is tantamount to 'flogging' in comparison to the lavish gifting of the Republicans to the rich.
Obama wants to make a college education more readily available to those who are not so wealthy - oooh, now that's a radical position - to make America more competitive in the world marketplace!

How about doing exactly what Georgia (and some other states like Florida) have been doing for a while. If a student works hard, gets a minimum SAT score and maintains a certain GPA (3.0 in GA) while in high school and college, they get a scholarship and free tuition to a state university. Here it's called the "Hope Scholarshiip" and is paid for exclusively by state lottery revenues.
Problem solved at the state level and anyone who works hard and gets sufficient grades and scores is rewarded with free tuition. Let's have a national lottery and setup a national program...someone has to pay for it.
