Clicking With The Voters - BHO

The problem with pandering to voters is that you end up contradicting yourself, depending on which audience you're trying to suck up to at the moment.   Obama has always struck me as a typical Big City Lawyer/professor, Liberal in his leanings, obviously believing he knows more about ordering other people's lives than thos people know themselves.  A modern philosopher king, who really only has the best interests of the hoi-polloi in his heart...except, you know, when they're angry, bitter, and resentful.  But stupid.

The place that politicians slip up is when they're among the fringe elements of groups whose beliefs are simply extreme verisions of their own.  Thus when safely nestled amongst
whacko Left in San Francisco, Obama lets his guard down and tells us what he really thinks about Small Town America.  That one of Thomas Sowell's "Anointed" would feel (and the operative word is "feel, not "think" or "believe") is no real surprise.  It's just a 
comment on his quality as a politician that in this day and age of electronic media that he would make such a ridiculous comment where others could hear it - rather than in the more typical smoke filled back room where it would be far more at home.
