His attitude is condescending, he "understands" how unemployment or hard circumstances can make people cling to these things which are apparently supposed to be so clearly negative. "Understanding" something is not synonymous with "condescending" (or elite). And how can you use "apparently supposed" with "so clearly". If it's "so clear" it's not "apparently supposed".

Its elitism to think that their decisions about these things are irrational "clinging" and is because of irrational bitterness and frustration. His attitude is condescending, he "understands" how unemployment or hard circumstances can make people cling to these things which are apparently supposed to be so clearly negative. Obama was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I think he knows what its like to be poor and how the poor think. But thanks for your input.
