Discussing with Andrea Mitchell today the kerfuffle over Pres. Obama's Christianity, Chuck Todd hearkened back to PBO's infamous bitter-clinger line. Obama offered his pronouncement at a private, hoity-toity fundraiser in San Francisco—and Todd claimed Obama didn't mean to demean by it.

According to Todd [quoting Paul Begala], Obama is his mother's son, and like the anthropologist she was, he was simply offering an anthropological analysis of the plight of those poor rural Pennsylvanians.

he was simply offering an anthropological analysis of the plight of those poor rural Pennsylvanians.

Its context is utterly condescenting & I-wanna-spoon-with-Obama Chuckie doesn't consider this demeaning?

What a complete suck-up tool.

[kromike]

condescenting = condescending

[Don Corleone]

Is it true that if Obama prays its only to himself?/sarc

How your thinking must be visualized in order to defend 0bama:

[kittymyrib]

“...Obama is his mother’s son,”

And she was a Marxist atheist...small comfort, Todd, you toadie.

[maggief]

Is he vying for Reggie Love’s job?

The mental masturbation in which these people engage begs the question as to how they stay employed.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Would that hair be considered a comb-over or a pre comb-over?

[ozzymandus]

Chuck U claims to be a political analyst, but he's more of an Obama analist.

[Hardraade]

like the anthropologist she was

Oh. Was that what she was?

[Jack Hydrazine]

He sounds more like an amateur proctologist.

[oblomov]

I thought anthropologists were supposed to be value-neutral about the cultures they study, rather than discuss them in a condescending manner.

Speaking of being scholarly, since when has 0 studied anything? He seems to speak without thinking, which forces him to subsequently backpedal on his inanities.

[Brett66]

Yeah, he’s got us cavemen all figured out.

The view from Mt. Olympus must be simply stunning.

Keep digging Todd, just keep on digging.

Those 3 MSNBC viewers, other than GLGB, appreciate BHO’s understanding of those PA citizens’ “plight.”

[Carley]

Seems to me it’s the imam who is the bitter clinger and they know we know!!!!

[Marty62]

ZERO is a pseudo-intellectual.

AND THE CHUCKY DOLL IS AN EMPTYHEADED STUFFED TOY.

[nhwingut]

Yeah. His so well off mother who lived the high life in huts with black muzzie drunks.
