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.

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.

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.
