Well ever since Reagan actually, we’ve been working on the principle of the trickle down. Somehow or other they thought that acquiring to the point of being satiated there would be so much bubbling wealth on top that it would trickle down past the champagne glass into the earth and somehow or other to fertilize the population.

I come from the depression era, I mean I was born in 27 so, I didn’t suffer as much as my family but I know what it’s like to not have food on the table, I know what it’s like to wear a hand-me down. I know what it’s like for your father to work and then two days later to not work. So I remember those and I don’t want my grandchildren to go through that.

Pennsylvania was for a long time a Swing state, - a state not clearly Republican or Democrat. For the time being Obama has a clear lead.

The McCain factor and the radical right factor is about American exceptionalism which means that we are the reigning power and will remain to be so. Which is not necessarily an accurate position in how you live in the world.

America is no longer for the most a part a shining culture on the hill. People see it not as a failed experiment but certainly one that is quite tired, that’s basically transporting its culture of fast foods and fast everything, fast deals and stuff like that to the world, and itself is becoming more and more hollow in the centre.
