What McCain and Obama Ignore
Barack Obama has been more attentive than John McCain to the need for policies to address important ethical issues, such as poverty. Yet Obama has failed to highlight such issues in his presidential campaign, even when doing so has been shown to influence voters to his advantage.

PRINCETON – Barack Obama worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago’s blighted South Side, so he knows all about the real poverty that exists in America. He knows that in one of the world’s richest nations, 37 million people live in poverty, a far higher proportion than in Europe’s wealthy nations. Yet Obama’s campaigning has focused on “Main Street” and tax cuts for the middle class, bypassing the issue of what to do about poverty.
