".......Obama’s carefully cultivated demeanor of sophistication drew in intellectuals from across the political spectrum during the campaign, according to Murray.
“It’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but I responded in part to his rhetoric because he talks just like me,” Murray said. “[I]t’s his whole way of presentation of self … of a little of self-deprecation in the argument, and picking out a nuance here, which is all the ways that we over-educated people who have been socialized in the same way. It’s the way we carry on discourse.
“His discourse just was so familiar to me, and along with what was a very engaging personality, I kind of ignored things, which, I think it is fair to say, a lot of working class people glommed onto right away,” he added.
However, Obama’s intellectual air belied an unsettling lack of understanding of the American spirit — and his “you didn’t build that” line revealed that.
“Not that I think that he is not a patriot, but it’s un-American in the following sense,” Murray said. “Remember his line — he said, ‘You didn’t [build] that.’ When he was talking about entrepreneurs… It’s like a Dutch politician coming over here and saying that. The Dutch politician might think you can get away with that here. No American is going to think you can say that, no matter what your political views are, because it’s just disastrous to say that.” ............. source
Wasn’t the real problem with the stamp act that stamps were required to be paid in gold or silver ,, both of which were in short supply .. and not in colonial script?
Gold and Silver , the universal currency.
Simply put Mo Dowd is a statist. Their dream is the one-world society although few will ever admit it. Walter Cronkite admitted it shortly before he died. If you could put a gun to the heads of most libs, they’d admit it as well. They love the idea of being slaves and taking orders.
“No!...... I do not have to pay the Obamacare tax!!”
“I worked for two days at the web site and it would not allow me to join. It’s not my fault I couldn’t sign up! “
“I’m not going to pay that damn tax!”
“This is America!”

No Charles you are not over-educated.
You are just an idiot that can’t be educated.
No one but an idiot would fall for the old con mans trick of picking out an obscure point to make it appear as if they know what they are talking about.
The problem with you Charles, no matter how much “education” you receive you still don’t learn.
Bill Clinton used the same technique of picking out an obscure point to make it appear as if he knew what he was talking about.
After 8 years of “education” listening to the 2 bit con artist Clinton using the same technique, you still didn’t learn.
That makes you an idiot that can’t be educated Charles.
Murray is a great American. He admits being fooled in 2008 that Obama would bring people together. Anyone who noticed that Obama did nothing to stop his supporters from accusing his opponents of being racist, knew that Obama was a race baiter.
Murray admits he was fooled, but he hasn't plumbed the depths of the deception. After 5 years, he's still under the delusion that Obama is a patriot. Mr. Murray, have the courage to face the truth. Obama was elected in his eyes to bring down this country. His foreign policy backs the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is unAmerican and anti-American. Face the truth.
