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.
普林斯顿&#45;&#45;奥巴马曾经在芝加哥破烂不堪的城南当过三年的社区组织者，所以他完全了解美国真实的贫困状况。他知道，在世界上最为富有的国家中有三千七百万人生活在贫困之中。这一比例要远远高于欧洲富国。但是奥巴马竞选集中谈论的是大众百姓以及中产阶级减税，却忽略了如何应对贫困。
