they don t want this to pass, lars. what they want to do is they want to talk about these things. they want to talk about minimum wage and what they want to do ultimately is create a campaign issue, this sort of rich versus poor, the same old thing that they can do and avoid obamacare. that s what they want. so we really don t care about inequality. we don t care about poverty and hunger and food stamps and minimum wage. we just don t want to talk about obamacare is what he is saying about those on the other side of this debate. well, you know, first of all, reverend al, the fact is that the last time a minimum wage hike passed, it was democrats who did it. and this time raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 is what will lift millions of people out of poverty. and what they clearly don t understand is many of us, i am proud of what we did with the affordable care act, because we
say this is not bringing us together. could you have done it more effectively by showing how crime has come down. maybe you talking you present differently than your ad does. i ve seen the ad and i have a different feeling. look at my opponent s phrase that he always falls back to when asked a question about anything. it always falls back it s a tale of two cities. there s nothing more divisive than saying we re two cities, whether it s rich versus poor, black versus white, young versus old, he s dividing this city by his core theme and the reality the reason i have this ad when you look at the most recent poll put out by the new york times there s a wide gap between where i am and my opponent is. look at the issues. majority of new yorkers agree with me on all of the issues. i needed to have an ad that woke everybody up because everything being done today is all about de blasio, de blasio, not about me.
the president has a history of kind of interjecting in these types of high-profile racial cases. he did it in cambridge and ended up with him having a peer sumbet with the police officer from cambridge. race should not have a role. we should base a verdict on fact. if there s a political problem it s that politicians get involved in these cases when it should be done by the people that are part of this and these types of tragedies. i m struck, though, the president was elected obviously 2008 as really the symbol of post racial america and yet race seems never far from his mind. it does seem like something he thinks about an awful lot and interjects it into cases where it wouldn t normally be. you think? it s the us against them, black against white, rich versus poor. unfortunately he s become the great divider.
racial lines, rich versus poor, black versus white, old versus young. this president is the most divisive president in history and of course, we hear from his party almost daily now. and maybe they don t know the campaign s over. you know, hank johnson said he can t get over, we can t get over that he s black. i can t get over that he s a marxist, you know, this constant usage of liberals and obama of the race card is damaging race relations, it s damaging minorities, it s damaging blacks. i can tick off 17 examples of obama s exploittation of race and had them in both of my books and have them if you want to waste the time going into it. but this is hurting race relations and obama is deliberately projecting race on to his political opponent, saying it s their racism, it s a case of deliberate projection and doing it to his political advantage and it s shameful. juan, i don t think sub
