I agree, and am just being cynical. There's people that have opinions based on legitimate, if debatable, economic ideas and those who just don't like the fact that people have more then them.
Obama is about the former, but can't help but rally the latter up into a tizzy as well. You can feel it, I won't call it "class warfare", but he's appealing to that kind of element, which is a tad scary in a way that it wasn't with Clinton.
