5. I'm having a hard time espressing this, but I'm trying to address
what I think was a lot of coded talk that went on at the RNC.

I think the message of the Republicans is that the poor are "those people" and that they also believe that "those people" are poor because "they don't work hard like us". Obama wasn't working for "those people", he was working for people like us who were hit by a man made disaster and ignored by their government. When Sarah and Walnuts denigrate "community organizer", they are labeling Obama as one of those soft-hearted woo-woos that's always trying to spread liberal guilt and "spend your hard-earned money on people who are too lazy to work". If the Republicans are successful as depicting Obama as working for "those people" and living in a Hyde Park mansion, we're in trouble. We have to make people understand that he's working for us!
