you write: I don't want to get into heavy political comments etc. and am certainly no fan of "the Odd Couple" but I have not been able thus far why Obama refers to the "Middle Class" all the time and never mentions the "Working Class". Maybe it's because they tend not to vote? I thought they represented 80% of the population.

those of the working class generally self-identify as middle class. maybe you're trying to revive the blue collar/white collar distinction, but that distinction seems long dead in politics. the bush years have raised the line dividing the haves and the have-nots.

why "the odd couple"? or are you referring to mccain and president hockey mom?
