I Suggest Adding a Category Called "Milch Cow"
After reading this Economist article about the people section of Obama's site, I thought I would check it out myself. Here is the complete list of the categories that Obama sees out there in America:
- Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders
- African Americans
- Americans Abroad
- Americans with Disabilities
- Environmentalists
- First Americans
- Generation Obama
- Kids
- Latinos
- Labor
- LGBT
- People of Faith
- Students
- Veterans
- Women
This is a different count than the Economist found, so I don't now if something has changed due to the article. Anyway, I officially have no place in Obama's world as a white male physically able straight business owner of limited faith. From analysis of his other policies, I suggest a category for me called "Milch Cow," to include productive non-whining folks like myself who are unable or unwilling to portray themselves as victims and who are most likely to be forced to pay for Obama's pandering of all the other groups.
Michael Miller:
That is his target list of types he thinks will be likely to vote him into the White House. He forgot one very important category.
Fools.

Gee, why all the divisions based on race, creed, sex and culture?
Yeah, I am out, also. No category for just "men". I guess there is a reason for that.

The US economy is made up of hundreds of millions of individual actors - how can a president or group of congresspersons possibly plan it or control it. We can say the same thing about society, culture, etc. The answer is that they can't possibly plan it or control it; but being unwilling to acknowledge this they constantly try to reduce us all to a "manageable" handful of groups. The more collectivist the world view, the fewer the number of groups that are presumed to be necessary.
It seems to me that if a candidate did not see it as his or her role to manage or control the citizens then they wouldn't feel the need to pigeon-hole the citizens into these groups.

What about 'Second Handers'? Seems to me they comprise the majority of the population in 'Ameerka' today.

The reason is because there are no men in the Drag Queen Party.
Well, OK, Maybe two: Jim Webb and Hillary Clinton.
