BARACK OBAMA SEEMED to have survived the blasphemous rants of his preacher and remained relatively untarnished by the perceived dissatisfactions of his privileged wife.
But he may be less lucky with remarks he made recently about embittered, small-town Americans, who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Those words now cling to Obama like Styrofoam packing peanuts. The more he tries to brush them away, the more they seem to burrow into the American psyche.
Being effete comes naturally to Democrats these days, though compared to Obama, Hillary Clinton looks like a mud-bogger from East Texas. Especially when she's slamming down a shot of Crown Royal, as she did recently at Bronko's Restaurant in Crown Point, Ind.
Nary a flinch did Clinton betray as the elixir trickled down her throat. If only Obama's words had been so smooth. Not only did he manage to un-charm many who were willing to give him a closer look, but his comments — made at a private San Francisco fundraiser — were before a crowd widely viewed as equally remote from the lives of regular folk.
That Obama would articulate disdain for what was once generally recognized as "American" culture feels like betrayal to former fans, including one Vietnam vet in Ohio, who interpreted Obama's comments in an e-mail to me: "Those poor rubes and yokels out there in ‘flyover country' ... Since they can't sort through the ambiguities of world economics and the complexities of the 21st century, they are clinging to their First and Second Amendment rights ... too simple-minded to think through the issues of culpability, so they resort to racism, xenophobia, isolationism, and protectionism," and "a simplistic Sunday school religion as..."

The attitude itself is bad enough, but the fact that Obama would actually say it shows clearly that he is far from the polished and invincible candidate many seem to believe. Hillary is far too experienced a politician to say something that stupid, and that's why she might in fact be a stronger general election candidate than Obama. Perhaps luckily, it looks like we'll still face Obama.
His arrogant, narcissistic, condescending, elitist attitude---
has made Hillary, John Kerry and other liberal elitists look like normal people.....LOL
Way to go, BHO,,,,keep it up!!!
Is this not a racist remark? Who are them, if he is not referring to peoples skin color.
the most bitter person Obama needs to explain is...........
his buddy rev wr(ong)ight

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Mud-bogger from East Texas, love it! Way to go Kathleen!
"Some liberal commentators have downplayed the effect of Barack Obama's recent fundraising speech in San Francisco. But that's wishful thinking. Along with the revelations about Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright, his remarks in San Francisco will haunt him not only in the upcoming primaries in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia, but also in the general election against John McCain, assuming he gets the Democratic nomination."
"To win in November, a Democratic presidential candidate has to carry most of the industrial heartland states that stretch from Pennsylvania to Missouri. That becomes even more imperative if a Democrat can't carry Florida -- and because of his relative weakness in South Florida, Obama is unlikely to do so against McCain. Ruy Teixeira and I have calculated that in the heartland states, a Democratic presidential candidate has to win 45 to 48 percent of the white working-class vote. In some states, like West Virginia and Kentucky, the percentage is well over a majority."
You can't win a general election with a coalition of America hating Bitter African- Americans and America hating Bitter white liberal elitist billionaires/millionaires, who buy brie, Chardonnay, and expensive rat politicians like the elitist Hussein Obama/Samma.
"Bitter Gate: the gift that keeps on giving!!!
" Crackerquiddick ~ Bitter Gate " and “Wright is wrong Gate” are huge problems for the elitist would be Sneerer in Chief, Hussein Obamasnob!!
For an inside look at the real Hussein Obama and his elite hate America backers at San Francisco where Hussein Obama made his elitist remarks,
Go here to see the thread with all The Pictures posted and Here to see another thread about this meeting of elite left wing America haters.
There are some very interesting pictures and comments re the actual meeting on those threads.
"Hussein Obama’s big mouth, small brain, condescending, America-hating, grandkid-baby-terminating, born-alive-infant-abandoning, America-hating-wife, kooky-moonbat-America-hating-pastor, racially-divisive, race-baiting, crotch-saluting, America-flag-disrespecting ... chickens ... coming home to roost ...!"
Behold the would be Sneerer in Chief! 
Hillary Wins Pennsylvania
Jackie and Dunlap have some advice for the Democrats."So now all you Democrats out there, you need to gather up all the homosexuals, and your atheists and your elitists and your baby-killers and your tree-huggers and your flag-burners and your socialists and your communists and your undercover Islamofacists and the Screen Actors Guild and the last living members of the Weather Underground, throw up a bunch of pictures of Obama and Hillary, grab one and go with it!"

Do you think, for the most part, that most people are unable to manage their own lives, and that you or people of the same caliber as you can and should manage their lives?
I'm guessing probably not. But this is exactly what defines a leftist elitist.
Nah, I'm more of a right-wing elitist. Sure, plenty of people can't manage their lives very well (and I suppose I might be able to manage some of them better), but that's their own business.
Largely, I just think most people can't manage the government, so I strongly distrust the "wisdom" of democracy, and consequently think we're best off with a government that's as small as possible.
I bet the other guy told him to carry it with the breech open.
I’ll be going until my last round.
If I’m surrounded, it’s going in my head. They won’t take me.
I read that one to myself with a heavy, slow accent.
