Our priorities are wide apart on many issues. As I read The Audacity  
of Hope I am impressed with his grasp of the conflicting factors of  
various issues. His grasp of  globalization seems definitive. Divided  
we fall. It will take strong unity in Congress to lessen the pain that  
many Americans will feel as we transition to a nation of social  
classes with a big void in the middle. The top tier, those the current  
president gave the big tax break to, is growing, but at a slower pace  
than the bottom class. Unless we do better at higher education we are  
destined to become a nation of the wealthy and the service classes,  
with the production class in developing nations.
