do you know what's condescending and elitist?
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 03:18 PM by ginnyinWI
These politicians and pundits who get up in front of microphones and fret and worry that working class voters won't understand Obama's comments and will simply turn off from voting for Democrats because of it. They are not willing to believe that they could actually understand--especially since Obama has gone over his original comments and explained further what he meant.

If their "concern" is actually real, then they are the most sorry, chicken-little, lily-livered liberals I've ever seen. They've got to quit being afraid of every shadow! And have a little faith in the average Democratic voter!

All the "evidence" we have so far that this is an actual problem for Obama is pundit reaction, anyway--as if they, the Beltway insiders, are representative of the voting public---not!

1. That is the problem for any Democrat.
Remember what they did to Dean. Remember what they did to Gore.

2. They are now doing it to Obama
if he is the nominee, he will be "Dukakised". He needs to watch how he frames his comments.

5. It was a private fundraiser, and word from someone there is that THEY understood his meaning
They heard it in context.
