The ObamaMedia will never miss a chance to promote class warfare in the 2012 election.  The goal, of course, is to reelect Barack Obama, and to do this the ObamaMedia will consistently outline the difference in the lifestyles between the evil rich and the beleaguered poor.  The rich have all of this stuff, all of these things, and all of these advantages that the poor don’t have --- and the way to fix this is to redistribute wealth --- and the person to do that is Barack Obama.  Never mind that the average person defined as “living in poverty” in the United States has a higher standard of living than the average European. 

So … how do we turn Christmas shopping into a class warfare campaign.  If you’re the New York Times you run a front page story titled “Opening Day for Shoppers Shows Divide.” 

In that story we find that “Budget-minded shoppers will be racing for bargains at ever-earlier hours while the rich mostly will not be bothering to leave home.”  Wow!  How unfair is that?  Those poor, poor pitiful poor people have to get out there and fight the crowds while the evil rich get to stay home.  Something needs to be done about this.

The Times wasn’t through:  “Those in a more modest income situation are the people going to the Wal-Marts and the Best Buys and the Targets at 8, 9, 10, 11 pm with little kids in tow because they can’t afford a baby sitter!”  Damn those rich people!  They can afford baby sitters, so even if they do go out shopping they don’t have to carry the spawn along.  Clearly we need a federal baby sitting entitlement --- and what do you know!  Princess Nancy proposed just that last week! 

Let’s get in another dig on the high achievers:  “The women who are shopping the fourth floor at Saks are not Black Friday shoppers.”  Maybe if we raise their taxes they’ll move to a lower floor.
