Obama: It Just Keeps Getting Better |
|
How long have Democrats have to deal with the labels of 'out of touch, condescending, latte loving elites' looking down on doing-it-tough Americans;
Or conversely, angry men, whether white (Dean) or black (Jackson) stoking class hatred.
Well IMO, Obama has challenged those stereotypes, and CO-OPTED the Republicans and MSM to do it. Whatever the spin, I can't wait till I see his remarks at Terre Haute replayed as 'condescending, and elitist.
And the anger? "And for 25, 30 years Democrats and Republicans have come before them and said we’re going to make your community better. We’re going to make it right and nothing ever happens. And of course they’re bitter. Of course they’re frustrated. You would be too. In fact many of you are. Because the same thing has happened here in Indiana."
An 'angry man? - American anger - At politicians and the MSM, plying us with words while lives and whole communities where thrown on the trash heap.
And in the process he got in the Republican Hot Button issues: guns, gay marriage, immigration and 'values voters', and went some way to defuse them. Brilliant!
So yes, by all means show us the 'condescending, latte loving elite' Obama and watch the lies unravel.
It's telling- each time his opponents stick in the knife, they find steel. And most encouraging of all, that mettle is unmistakably progressive.
