Photoshop of the week: Typical liberal snob; Update: New Obama spin - “I didn’t say it as well as I could have”
A big thank you to reader Tennyson, who cooked up this fabulous photoshop that pushes back at small-town-trashing Barack Obama. All native-born, gun-owning, God-fearing, pro-immigration enforcement, pro-sovereignty Pennsylvanians are grateful to you, Tennyson! Yo, Barack. Get over yourself already:
Keep spinnin’, pal. You’re going to land right back into the gutter, with your bowling ball. Video of Obama’s response to Snob-gate is now posted on his YouTube channel:
Transcript via Ambinder:
So I made this statement– so, here’s what rich. Senator Clinton says ‘No, I don’t think that people are bitter in Pennsylvania. You know, I think Barack’s being condescending.’ John McCain says, ‘Oh, how could he say that? How could he say people are bitter? You know, he’s obviously out of touch with people.’
“Out of touch? Out of touch? I mean, John McCain—it took him three tries to finally figure out that the home foreclosure crisis was a problem and to come up with a plan for it, and he’s saying I’m out of touch? Senator Clinton voted for a credit card-sponsored bankruptcy bill that made it harder for people to get out of debt after taking money from the financial services companies, and she says I’m out of touch? No, I’m in touch. I know exactly what’s going on.
The hopelessness of audacity.

Congrats, Barry O: You’ve won Knee Deep in the Hooah’s Jackass of the Day Award.

Update 11:20am Eastern 4/12: Obama in Indiana this morning is still spinning. He has ditched “cling” for “comfort,” and is clinging to the “bitter” part of his quotation to defend The Bitter Truth of his diss against small-town Pennsylvanians:
“I didn’t say it [as] well as I could have,” Obama confessed today during a town hall in Muncie, Ind., in response to the controversy he described as a “political flare-up because I said something that everyone knows is true.”
He then launched into a broad explanation of what he was trying to express: “There are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my home town in Illinois, who are bitter. They are angry… So I said, well ya know, when you’re bitter, you turn to what you can count on. So people, ya know they vote about guns or they take comfort from their faith, and their family, and their community, and they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country, or they get frustrated about how things are changing. That’s a natural response.”
Ed Morrissey breaks down the dishonesty.

Great photoshop!… lol, and that’s how he was staring down at el skanky.
You mean the “great unwashed” to the elitist Obamas. You know, the ones that actually give significant portions of their incomes to charity, unlike some vacuous elitist presidential candidates we could name….
He always looks down his nose. I knew he was a snob by his demeanor alone, and that picture is a perfect representation. I would love to be a fly on the wall and hear what he and his wife actually say about America and about white Americans.
Snob:….from the Latin…’sine nobilitas’…without nobility
Which is why I think there’s a president of Canada, just about insist there’s no Al Qaeda in Iraq, sat through sermons for 20 years by a guy that hates white people and America, and had no clue that I didn’t select to donate to the public financing system 2 years running.
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.
snOb-ama
Pretty typical politician acting the way politicians act regardless of ideology or party affiliation. Not sure why this is noteworthy.
playing his audio of this on all the channels now dakine……
OMG Michelle ~
That is fantastic! Absolutely without question the most succinct and accurate potrait of Barry I’ve seen yet. And that picture! LOL! I must have a room poster, yard signs, bumper stickers…
It’s noteworthy because Obama has been promoted as the second coming and supporting a halo that is supposed to blind us all. The truth, that he is nothing more than a condescending snob with no grasp of reality when it comes to flyover country, needs to be given as much promotion as Obama’s supposed radiant glow.
Well done Tennyson, thanks.
I told a Canadian associate of mine today that if I had to choose between Obambi or Billary, I would have to choose Billary. Even with everything that I detest about the Clintons,I am not convinced Obambi cares enough for this country and it’s leadership in the world.
Maybe he’s just used to that look from checking to see if cokes up his nose.
Lawyer married to hospital executive entitlement attitude heavily flavored with racial sensitivity exemption, because of his skin color, who believes he’s better than everyone else. Obama = typical liberal.
Obama is the stereotypical, clueless black politician.
Obama said:
Isn’t Barack half white? Why is he snitching on the poor white people of Pennsylvania?
Didn’t Reverend Wright say that Barack knows what it means to be a black man in America?
Well, I guess he isn’t black enough to realize that “snitching” ain’t cool.
What a pouser!
…and they say there is no class system in America! Ptttt…..
The Class System
Obama is just one more in a long line of leftist effete elite snobs
White, oriental, or ordinary pro-America, law biding, church going Americans bad.
Racist thug, delusional cult minister, threatening violent overthrow of America good.
Obama Land
Obama is the typical court enabled, educational institutional financed, privileged minority coming home to roost. Some how, some where the liberal strategy of minority enabling went terribly wrong. The products of which are embodied in the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Michelle Obama, and Barack Hussein Obama. We are all better of if these anointed remain in their Subculture.
Great photo shop Tennyson. It’s very good.
sausage:Have you ever herd of the phase:”saw it off?” heh. That was a funny video.
jose
That was good!
Or the audio of asininity.
The video and photoshop go together. Did anyone notice that after he finished his great humble oratory, that barely perceptable nodding of his head as he paced back and forth?
To me it was like he was thinking, “Yep, I just put those ingnorant fools in their place. How dare they mess with the man!”
Obama proves that schmucks come in all flavors.
Typical Obama speech: great wind-up and no pitch. One keeps hoping that things will change, that he will give us something to work with, but he doesn’t. Okay, so McCain and Clinton are jerks. Gosh, what a shock. Instead, it’s his usual trademarked SmoothJive, which in this clip at least was not all that smooth. Negative as I am on him (but I sure ain’t that positive on the others), I want to believe, despite Imam Wright and all the “typical white person,” junk there might be something in there somewhere. Because if this guy gets to President, there damn well better be. But I come up empty every time.
Anyway, time for another book plug: I highly recommend Shelby Steele’s book, The Bound Man. This is the best summary of Obama’s life and thought I have read. It will take you and hour, two at the very most to complete. But it is well worth it.
Kinda reminds me of a black Benito Mussolini, with that head cocked back…
Tennyson, here is your photoshop is.
So, he is out to corner the bitter, angry, disillusioned vote. That’s not even half of Pennsylvania Democrats. Its just the Democrat base.
Isn’t this the most angry he has been? Isn’t this the most personal he has been in attacking the opposition? Hit a nerve did we? Hmmmm?
No matter what Mobarak says or does, his ‘Driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants’ does not sit well with this fella.
Sorry Mobarak! neither you, nor your party, getting my vote. Period.
excellent job Tennyson; I’m passing it on
Tennyson is a genius. Possibly the best photoshop ever!
Cheers from Flyover Country!
Another Jimmy Carter. He can say and do whatever he likes, to the cheers of the crowd. Ask a liberal, “Who is Obama anyway?” They don’t know. They just support him for some obscure reason they can’t imagine. He’s black and that’s all that is important to them. Lenin and many dictators ran on the platform of “hope and change”. It proved to be disasters. People who don’t know their history are condemned to repeat it.
When Obama talks ‘jobs’ (as with all the Democrats) here’s what he really means: a Union job at an no secret ballot Union Shop at a Trade Law Protected Business. The kind of job that ran American business into the ground in the 70’s. The kind of job that makes products that force a kid earning minimum wage at the soda shop would have to spend 3 or 4 days wages to buy a shirt or half a month to buy some shoes. The kind of job where that clod leaning on a broom got paid 3 times what a college professor was paid. The kind of job that killed Bethlehem Steel and others.
The problem with Obama’s vision is that those jobs were damned few. And they depended upon screwing the rest of the country. The great utopian vision of unionized employment always has meant discrimination against many and privilege for a few. And products that always, always, were too expensive.
Everyone is missing the boat on the Obama PA/SF situation. The real issue here is that Barack is positing that heartland Americans believe in their Constitutional rights to bear arms and practice their religion(s) freely, as well as the Constitution’s requirement of the federal government to protect our borders, simply because some steel mills got closed down. The implicit suggestion is that if these folks are given governmental support, these rights will cease to be important to them. It would not surprise me at all that this is truly what he believes as a pure liberal elitist, and the thought of that ideology in the white house is bone chillingly frightening. Put an ad together with that message, and you’ll be a walk into the White House without breaking a sweat.
Obama’s life in Indonesia reveals him to be a budding religious daredevil. Snob-ama held the “religion is just an opiate” view from the get-go. In his formative years he could only sneer when old nuns prayed.
Snob-ama’s views have not changed. He calmly supports gay marriage by nullifying an “obscure passage in Romans.” In Snob-amaland it’s easy to be religious since the Epistles are seen as coming from a group of parched old men given to mutterings.
It reminds me of a cross between the old communist posters with a twist of fascism. The Obamination looks just like El Duce in the photoshop I find it very fitting. When we no longer have personal vehicles (other than a bicycle) after he tanks the economy with his social programs hopefully he will be able to make the trains and buses run on time so we serfs can make it to our jobs to pay for our indentured servitude to the great socialist state.
“People don’t think they can count on Washington!” No, I can count on Washington. To screw things up. Reagan knew that Government wasn’t the solution, it was the PROBLEM!
I wonder how many bitter Americans are that way because their jobs were lost due to affirmative action? I know my Dad lost a deserved promotion to an inexperienced black man many years ago and he was never the same.
“These people are part of who I am”
yup, and it’s showing, no matter how you spin it afterwards.
And I just love all these “experts” again with their “taken out of context” BS.
Oblahma’s a joke, a very bad, bad, joke.
I like the photoshop. The title should be “Marxist Snob,” though, because he typical of the Marxist elite.
Barack Hussein Obama is so out of touch with America, you could even accurately say he is NOT American.
Elmer Gantry
Looks a lot like Benito Mussolini in that pose. Except Obama’s way too skinny. I see Boomer beat me to this observation: #37.
He actually named guns and religion as crutches, or whatever. Hello. Snob elitist leftist. How do you spin out of that?
Growing up in tropical paradise - check.
Prep school - check.
Ivy league college - check.
Ivy league law school - check.
Top 1% income bracket - check.
Those are prerequisites for running a campaign as a “man lf the people”. Obama can empathize with the little people, since he has a long history of employing them to handle his menial tasks.
As MLK said, a man should be judged by his character rather than the color of his skin. Additional entries to Obama’s resume on character:
-20 year association with black supremicist church;
-Religious advisors and supporters who hate jews;
-Budding felons among associates and friends;
-Domestic terrorists convicted of bombing government property in circle of friends;
-Avowed communists and socialists as his political mentors;
-Associations with supporters of Islamic terror organizations;
-Seat on the bandwagon blaming the white man for the worlds woes (and obviously the white man was to blame for his prep school and ivy league background that has held him back).
-Married to an angry black supremicist.
As a relative political unknown, there is little in the way of accomplishment to judge whether Obama can walk the walk to go with his talk. While Obama does not want people to look into his character, it is the only measure by which people can judge the man for the office of President. And an objective look into that aspect of the candidate reveals he is devoid of any measure of character that would qualify him to lead the US.
If Karl Marx and George McGovern had a baby…
And he said it about Pennsylvanians. Guess he never saw The Deer Hunter.
I think the only person who could understand what Obummer said the other day is the image looking right back at him in the mirror.
He can’t explain away those remarks. He wants to win votes by talking down to people? Try again.
Try, again, Obummer, and this time WITH CONVICTION instead of trying to pull your a** out of the fire.
He is friends with Oprah, one of the richest women in the world, and has thrived in the social spheres of limousine liberals and quilt-ridden business leaders since he entered Illinois politics, so how could Obama be anything else but an out of touch snob?
It’s no small irony, that the people who highlight the elitism, and snobbery of Obama, are the very same ones who suggest sitting on our dead asses during the election, because they think McCain is a poopy-head.
You know who you are
Yes, us poopy-heads are waiting for McCain to give us something we can get up off our dead asses and cheer about. It’s hard to do that when he is reaching out to moderates and liberals more than the base of the party.
Yikes! Let’s contain the use of four-letter obscenities like wait and give. Putting a stake through the heart of Democrats’ plans is sufficient motivation to get me to the polls.
P’haps, it hasn’t occurred to you…Your vote can constitute a “Nay” vote against a candidate.
“Who” McCain is “reaching out to” shouldn’t concern you one bit.
Because, at the end of the day, it’s not ABOUT McCain…Not when you’re looking into the abyss.
I agree. When you have the Marxist and very Muslim Obama this close to running the most powerful country in the world, it is time to support whoever is opposing him.
Those still with the disorder MDS need to get over it!
franksalterego#51,
I have no intention of not voting. I would like to see the GOP leaders that are urging us to get behind McCain hold his feet to the fire on issues that are important to conservatives.
Wonder how much they paid the guy in the red USMC T-shirt to sit behind that arrogant s(n)ob and clap on cue? It’s OK to use a gun if you’re frustrated because the “govmint” din’t fix things for you?
We held his feet to the fire during the immigration debate…What makes you think we can’t do it again?
You don’t like McCains stance on immigration?
Is there anyone in their right mind, who believes this issue WON’T come up again, if a Liberal/Democrat is, by default, elected?
And given, that the bill didn’t pass, because of a preponderance of Republicans voting against it, should give you pause.
Keep digging that hole, Snobama!
We don’t need to point out the irony of that, do we.
[hint - hint]
I’m beginning to think the democraps and Snobama are trying to project the bitterness they feel on to us.
Hobamas only hope is to run around to college campuses pimpin the vote of the uninformed.
Hey Obama, you try to touch me I’ll smack ya!
“……they cling to…”
These are the words that really jumped out at me. No matter how he tries to spin it, these words alone showed me that he looks upon normal American values as something that needs to be discarded in his Brave New World.
We conservatives probably won’t win congress in the next election. McCain will lean over the isle and we will find ouselves in up to our necks in liberal policies. What a sad state of affairs.
Meanwhile, over at the Huffingtons, they are wondering what all the fuss is about. “We say things just like this around here too. Doesn’t everyone?”
Let’s give the Scoop of the Year Award to Huffinton Post.
The sad thing is, Obama did not say anything which McCain and Clinton do not agree with.
I hope Democrats are paying attention to what Obama has been saying. I don’t have alot of faith in their grasp of what is important.
Sorry flenser but I will not put McCain in the same category as Hussein….maybe Hill but not Hussein
Here is a must read at NRO.
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YThjYTU1ZDBjNmQ2YzcwNzU1MmYwN2JiMWY0ZGI0NDA=
I agree with zorro #60. The Dems are the miserable ones. They are the ‘negatives’ of our society and they want the rest of us to follow suit. Dependent people are usually more bitter than hard working people. They have more time to dwell on the negative rather than support the positive.
Excellent article groundhunter. I’ll pass it around.
To maintain my dignity, I will vote for Ron Paul. If he drops out, I shall not vote. Won’t respect myself if I voted for:
- Hillary “No woman is illegal” Clinton.
- Mobarak “Husseiin-Driver’s-Licenses-for-illegals” Obama.
- Juan “Amnesty” McCain.
There… elections over!
Maybe, but you certainly clearly defined the meaning of “limousine liberal”.
I lived in Western PA for 6 years…Obama’s seriously out of touch.
“I didn’t say it [as] well as I could have” - Marie Antionette, referring to her famous “then let them eat cake” comment
Keep talking BO!
Tennyson, Michelle, that graphic is fabulous. Can I copy/resize it for my sidebar?
What would one expect from someone who spent twenty years listening to rev Wright whom he refers to as his mentor, intelligence? Guess again. I think it’s outrageously audacious that he has gone as far as he has. The founding fathers were a little bitter and they clung to guns and religion as well. They weren’t too keen on those they viewed as illegal immigrants running around telling us what to do either. I think it might have started a war or something.
I find it very interesting that in his list of things “desperate” Americans “cling” to, Obama failed to mention the kooky racist conspiracy theories of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rev. Eric Lee, and others.
A curious omission, to be sure.
This whole speech translates into you are angry that the government isn’t helping you? Well elect me and I’ll fix everything and you won’t need to have those pesky old guns any more.
LOL…I been thinkin’ for a while that that elevated chin thing of Obama’s was a political liability!
So Obama said “…because I said something that everyone knows is true.” and he wants everyone to understand and give him a pass (and his followers will).
Compare that to what Geraldine Ferraro said about Obama being in the position he was in only because he is black (another true statement), and they wanted her head.
I thought I’d never say this, but I’ll take 4 more years of the Clintons over 10 seconds of Obama.
Bho and wifeee have managed to degrade or insult almost every one but the muslims or Asians as far as I can tell. It’s early, with the way they are going, it won’t be long till they do. What a pair to draw to, gads. They make my skin crawl, no not a leg tingle.
L
Good thing the Constitution looks out for “bitter” people as well. Right to bear arms, freedom of religion, right to express greviences…
But then again, according to BO, bitterness breeds ignorance and forces the less enlightened people of the world to cling to silly things like religion and Constitutional rights. It is a shame that he even has to pander to such primitive humans, especially they undoubtedly have little comprehension of what BO says. At least if he smiles at them and makes no sudden moves, the typical white rubes will see BO as a nice man.
I’d bet that none of those hayseed, redneck, ignorant Pennsylvanians have any idea how much the price of arugula has gone up at Whole Foods. Hell, I’d also bet that most of them would even take a Philly cheesesteak over a piece of $100 per pound ham on a toothpick. Perhaps if they have the audacity to hope for change and elect BO, they will become less bitter, thereby increasing both their IQ’s and civilized demeanor.
Geraldine Ferraro was right. Any other candidate/spouse combo who’ve shot themselves in the foot this many times would’ve been toast by now; what keeps Obama going is that many people have hypnotized themselves into seeing him as a pigment-based symbol instead of as a man.
But how much longer can the illusion last? Until after election day? At this rate, I don’t think so.
So Hillary’s right, too: Obama can’t win the general. But who’s to keep him from the nomination now? Her? How? With a campaign slogan of, “It’s the Character, Stupid?”
Hillary’s problem all along has been that whenever Obama commits an unforced error, she either saves him by committing a gaffe of her own, or can’t take advantage without looking like a Godzilla-sized hypocrite.
2008 is beginning to look like a replay of 2004. The early Democrat favorite collapses, only this time not with a scream but a death-rattle. The nominee instead turns out to be another buyer’s remorse candidate like Kerry was. Result: a presidential election that was eminently winnable slips away again.
At this rate, the election is McCain’s to lose. Assuming he wins, the bonus question becomes whether he’ll have any coat-tails: can he help the Republicans reduce their expected losses in Congress come November, or will he face a veto-proof Democrat majority?
Has anyone seen the HBO commercial for Bryant Gumbel’s sit-down with Obama yet?
Obama claims to be quite a basketball player, and he discusses how it was an integral part of his youth and his connection with his father?
Then he pulls that chin thing and claims that he could definitely beat GW at a game of one on one.
Seeing that GW runs treadmill everyday and has the lowest heart rate of any US President, I would LOVE to see GW take Obama up on that game.
After viewing the way he dances and bowls, I bet that Obama would refuse such a challenge. A potential loss to a full white man would be too much damage to the street cred that Obama has spent so much time and capital developing at Jeremiah Wright’s church over the past 23 years.
“So people, ya know they vote about guns or they take comfort from their faith, and their family, and their community, and they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country, or they get frustrated about how things are changing. That’s a natural response.”
“or they get frustrated about how things are changing“???
Yeah, basically.
Flesner’s right.
I’m just a typical, white, gun-toting, bitter, angry American who hates everything and am looking for a messiah to save me.
I’m especially looking for the messiah who, just two years ago, admitted he was not experienced or qualified enough to run for the presidency. I suppose eighteen plus months of applying for the job now makes him qualified?
mookie, from this day on I refuse to punch 1… if they want my dollars, they can damn well act like it!
You should. McCain displays the exact same contempt for poor white Americans who live outside the cities and own guns as Obama does. Perhaps more. Obama is just saying what liberals say, without really thinking about it. McCain has thought about it, and then taken great relish in siding with the far left against us.
Michelle and Barack Obama–now you’re talking about bitter people.
Baraka knows bitterness well. He looks into the face of bitterness every time he sits down to dinner with his wife. Funny how that can change a guy and his general outlook on the world. Coupled with his perceived abusive childhood he has a lot of issues to deal with. Why is he starting to remind me of Slick Willie? He felt your pain too. ;(
BrianNY, Obama can ball. I was a year ahead of him at Punahou HS in Hawaii. Dubbya is a pretty good athlete, but Obama would kick his tail in hoops.
bit_boy, wow you’re really right up against the line. Why don’t you just go ahead and say what you really want to say, and let’s see how quickly you get banned.
I fully agree and recommend it highly! Also of interest is this article at Townhall.
Oops! I forgot this article as well.
Have you guys seen the photographs of the fundraiser where the Bittergate comments were made?
The visuals are rather stunning:

Tennyson, you should trademark that and upload that image to cafepress. you’ll make a mint! YaY for capitalism!!
Frankly I’m amazed that when he sat down with Bryant Gumbel and claimed he could beat GW at hoops, that he didn’t say something like “White men can’t jump”
When you’re someone like Barack who has no real leadership or experience credentials at all, what else do you have if you didn’t say it as well as you could have?
When he blows the silver tongue devil shtick, he’s got noth’in.
Gee, an expensive prep school education (Punahou being the most expensive school on Oahu-guess we have others who have a lot of money too on this board), an Ivy League education and now he says “I didn’t say it as well as I could have”. Who is this idiot kidding? I sure wish we could send our kid to Punahou (if we move back to Ewa Beach but I don’t think they’d let you in there if you lived in Ewa Beach) but we’re just your typical white person, who goes to church and owns guns. What an a$$.
Obamalitism is sinking the ship and the Captain is getting a bit testy.
Lots of us Hawaiians on the thread today.
=I didn’t think this would get out.
That’s ’cause no one can backpedal as fast as Oh!b♥m♥. Plus Oh!b♥m♥ would put the rim at 15′ for 43…just to level the playing field.
“I didn’t say it as well as I could have” = “Where is the cover I have come to expect from the MSM? Where every idiocy Michelle and I mutter gets reported like it was an original thought, instead of retread Limousine Liberal BS?”
The MSM will be all over the non-apology apology. All the news shows should be interesting tomorrow. The bottom line will be “it’s Bush’s fault”.
I’m into guns and have my faith, precisely because of dangerous, clueless people like him who threaten my life, my family and my country.
He would make a good Zimbabwean.
I’m amazed, I just saw a report on this on my local ABC 11:00 news in Richmond, VA. And it didn’t make Obama look very good.
Obama said… “If I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that,” Obama said in an interview with the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal.
“IF”? “IF”? Why can’t this guy say “I offended people with my comments, I’m sorry”.
I’m beginning to fear the damage he could do to this country as much as I did/do fear what algore would do.
Guess I’m just a typical white person, but I need to go to bed so I can get up early to go to church in the morning.
LOL. Obama makes Bush seem tone deaf.He is SOOOO clueless.
Really incredible — with the nuthouse church Obama belongs to, & he has the nerve to ridicule churches in Pennsylvania.
Foxnews kept asking its listeners to respond to a survey to indicate whether or not they found Obama’s comments offensive. Personally, I didn’t find them offensive, but rather enlightening as to the make-up of this man.
One thing I noticed is Barack Obama must not consider himself very religious as he doesn’t find his rascist church’s doctrines worth clinging to.
His statement also let me know without a doubt his stance on the 2nd Amendment.
My question is, what does he cling to? What does he hold as precisous to him? Power? Prestige? Money?
I wonder who he is talking to when he makes condescending statements like that? It must be a small minority of people who are still bitter about the loss of manufacturing jobs in the Midwest 25 years ago. Most people evenually accept the fact and move on with their lives. Those who are still wallowing in self-pity are the same ones waiting for the government to come and rescue them - sort of like many of the Katrina victims.
If you really want to see arogance at it’s pinnacle, watch Michele Obama if she becomes First Lady.
exactly, obama is high. still.
Obama is a lawyer, supposedly a fairly good one, given his election (?) to editor of the Harvard Law Review (even without publishing in it himself).
For lawyers, words are the tools of their craft. You know the old legal saying, “never ask a question for which you don’t already know the answer.”
So how come the Obamas make such egregious and elitist gaffes? Occam’s Razor demands that the simplest answer is most likely the correct one, and as such, it follows that the Obamas ARE elitist snobs who got much of what they have via means that did not involve their personal skills or abilities.
How can anyone say that BHO was a good lawyer? Is there a trail of court battles we can look at? Of course, the exact same thing can be said of Hillary.
They are both portrayed as the best, the brightest, the most capable, the most experience, and then they make the ameteurish mistakes of the most inexperienced tyro, a sure sign that everything has been spoon fed to them all of their lives because of who they are and not what they can do, and when push comes to shove, they stumble.
I think they call that an empty (pant)suit.

that sums it up nice..
So, Michelle has now become a Communist/Socialist and demands that everyone must be equal in America irrespective of their hard work and education? The US is a meritocracy–the best people go to the best schools and get the best jobs. That’s the way it is.
Michelle must be bitter because she’s a failure even though she peobably got into her Ivy League college through affirmative action.
Again, there are two people here that use “Jim M” - I use caps for the first letters of my name and the evil one uses small letters.
Jim M:
It’s sweeter than that. She got into Princeton because her brother was a star hoopster for the Tigers. In other words, she was a LEGACY–the same term semi-literate liberals use to smear 43 in reference to his admission to Yale.
Oops. Sorry, Jim M.
Hey, “evil jim m”! Here’s a clue…
The ivy league schools discriminate against Asians. Seems that Asians believe in hard work and actual scholarship to get their good grades. That’s not popular with the bitter elites
If you want to have a fun jolt for the morning - Halp us Brak… - it really a nice takeoff on the Kary fiasco.
Well, the talking heads are trying to explain what Obambi really meant when he said what he said. What they are not saying is that Hillary is staying in the race because of this very reason. He is going to self destruct beyond help if he has not already done so. I for one am glad she is. The MSM will not be able to ignore his total ineptitude and hide his incompetence as long as Hillary is screeching about it.
I am bitter.
/and a Christian
//and a gun owner
///and against Shamnesty
////But then.. there wasn’t a chance in heck I was ever going to vote for him anyway.
As one born and raised in small-town Pennsylvania a long time ago, I can assure you that many of the folks there are religious, and many are strong supporters of Second Amendment gun rights. But, those attitudes are definitely not the result of “bitterness” resulting from economic setbacks, as he suggests. They existed long before the factories moved away. I doubt there is, by and large, any more “bitterness” among Pennsylvanians than among folks anywhere.
And, coming from someone who has sat through 20 years of Wright’s sermons oozing with insane bitterness of Herculean proportions, the irony of his comment is overwhelming!
“jim m,”
Are you talking about our lovely and gracious hostess, or Michelle Obama?
Inquiring minds want to know…..
I’m going to cling to my guns until Barack sends somebody to pry it from my cold dead hands.
The leftist equivalent of religion = knee jerk darwinism & global warming mythology.
The leftist equivalent of guns = kangaroo courts and “human rights committees” as weapons to shut down speech that threatens you.
Oh, and you don’t know the meaning of bitter until you’ve come face to face with a typical democrat.
I just don’t understand what everybody’s so exercised about. It’s not as if he called somebody something derogatory, like “macaca”. After all, every liberal knows that rural and small town people are all inbred and stupid, easily led by their preachers and KKK bosses.
I grew up in small-town in western PA when the steel mills were downsizing. The economy was fragile then and is fragile now. Some people were/are bitter ata the job loss. Others moved on.
Obama appears to be speaking from experience. His minister is bitter. His wife is bitter. This bitterness may actually be coloring his comments now.
People in PA are not a bunch of knuckle-dragging, gun totin’, snuff dippin’, crazed, bitter people supporting dubiouis churches.

I think you left out “hateful,” if liberal blogs are any indication. Ignorant is probably apropos as well.
I’m talking about our hostess, Michelle Malkin. You know, the one that got into Oberlin (okay, it’s technically a mini-Ivy, not a full blown Ivy) probably because she was Asian.
Again Jim M, is Oberling the only stinking college in this country? There are not other colleges and universities?
Sorry, should be Oberlin-
Mea culpa again to Jim M, should be jim m.

I hardly see Ms. Malkin as a “failure,” particularly as she is so successful at tweaking the noses of liberals such as yourself (the truth really does hurt).
It is amusing to watch little jim m try to turn the observations of elitism in the Obamas against Ms. Malkin. Yet it is Ms. Obama that complains about the country that allowed her to achieve her success, while Ms. Malkin does nothing but praise it. Ms. Obama is the one crying that she just can’t make it on her (their) enormous incomes, yet I hear nothing remotely analogous in Ms. Malkin’s writings.
It is BHO that belittles people with beliefs he does not share, imperiously declaring that their religious beliefs, their beliefs in the Second Amendment etc., are aberrant products of their economic problems, as if
