Obama and Small Town Mouth-Breathers

By J. Wesley, April 13, 2008

Even if Obama were correct that Americans in small towns “cling” to religion as a crutch because of the poor economy. . . is it somehow more noble to embrace religion as a way to win political influence and gain racial authenticity? As for folks with “antipathy to people who aren’t like them,” I imagine he’s an authority after twenty years in Rev. Wright’s church. Pot, meet kettle.

I’ve read everything LexisNexis had on Obama from his pre-senatorial period. His recent comments just confirm the impression I developed from those articles — while he talks a good game, his worldview is that of elitist, condescending, “we know what’s best for you rubes” Liberalism. It’s an attitude which thrives in academia, but doesn’t do so well at the ballot box. The more people see past his empathetic mask, the more this will hurt him.
