Snob-ama disses pro-gun, religious, anti-illegal immigration activists in Penn.

Typical liberal elitist: Obama serves up another gutterball

Before I get to Barack Obama’s snobbish, condescending, and arrogant comments about small-town Pennsylvania, I wanted to share a little more about my visit to Harrisburg last week.

As I mentioned, I was up in Pennsylvania to speak to Real Alternatives, an inspiring non-profit charity that provides alternatives to abortion for young women in crisis pregnancies. The group has its roots in historic, early support from the late, pro-life Democrat governor, Bob Casey.

“Our business is to fight the poison of hopelessness with love,” Gov. Casey told counselors and volunteers at the first PA Alternative to Abortion Services Program Banquet. Real Alternatives encompasses a statewide network of social service agencies, pregnancy support centers, maternity residences and adoption agencies that offer comprehensive, life-affirming alternatives to abortion to women dealing with unplanned pregnancies. They’ve served more than 135,000 women since 1996–receiving just a fraction of the money that the massively taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood abortion empire receives.

At the RA annual banquet last week, I met volunteers and counselors from all walks of life–black, white, Latino, Catholic, Republican, independent, young, and old. I noted that while Beltway blowhards bloviate about hope and change, they were true agents of hope and change. I was moved by the tireless spirit and enthusiasm of Real Alternatives’ president and CEO, Kevin Bagatta. I met his mom, his wife, new baby, his son, his office mates, former co-workers, counselors from across the Keystone State, other pro-life activists from Texas and Maryland who are on a similar mission. This army of compassion has succeeded against enormous odds. They are doing God’s work–and their success is being replicated across the country.

When I think of “small-town Pennsylvania,” I think of the people of faith and fortitude I met last week–with open hearts, big smiles, and
a boundless belief in the ability to help others, even on a shoestring budget and a steep political incline.

Which brings me to Obama. A HuffPo writer reports that during a fund-raiser with wealthy San Francisco liberals, Obama (now Snob-ama) said the following:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Now, we don’t need to guess anymore what he’s thinking when he’s on the campaign trail in rural and small-town Pennsylvania. Instead of hard-working, patriotic, faithful Americans, he sees “bitter,” “frustrated,” resentful scary people whom he’ll readily diss while sipping Chardonnay in Baghdad by the Bay.

A real man of the people, that Barack “37” Obama, ain’t he?

Zombie has exclusive photos of Obama’s visit to SF’s Billionaires’ Row. It’s where he feels most at home:

Typical Democrat elitists.

Update: Via Allah, the McCain campaign is finally willing to bring down the hammer on Obama.

Update: The Other McCain smells a strong whiff of Eau de Marxism.

The worst State economy in the Union today is Michigan. Thanks to tax-n-spenders gone wild. There is only one thing that socialist progressives, AKA Dems, are good at and that is destroying the economy.

not to mention, a strong union state.. much like Ohio and Pennsylvania..

and look at those state economies..

unions are a dinosaur trying to stay alive in a mammal world.

When I read this, I couldn’t help but think he was describing some of the ~~regular commentors~~ elite, liberal, condescending trolls who visit here at MM.

If you really feel like this, TOS, then why circulate among us Conservatives that you look down on?

UberInfidel really took the words out of my mouth but I’ll add to them:

PISS OFF, TROLL!! DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YA ON THE WAY OUT.

Oh, and I WILL hang on to my guns, my family’s proud history of military service, my religion, and my dislike of foreign invaders taking over MY COUNTRY. I know that that really pisses you off and you can’t stand it.

So, WHAT’S KEEPING YOU… THERE’S THE DOOR AND HERE’S MY FOOT BOOTING YOU THE HELL OUT. BUH-BYE!!

And the point of your brilliant observation?

Sorry to disappoint you, Twiggman, but that is the Palace of Fine Arts.

That is an awesome post… may I have your permission to copy it? You said what would take me a half day to say. Thank you for your effort!

We vote in the Primary 5/6 -Operation Chaos won’t work in NC as we need to dump the D-governor and his cronies (21 state legislators are in jail.) I will not vote for McCain. The press Obomination gets is frightening, but no doubt appealing to the illegals.

I second that #91 – englishqueen01 @ #62 summed it up nicely, tied a bow on it and served it up al dente.

Now, don’t you just wish Obamessiah would let go of his inner inhibitions and let fly what he really thinks of some of the other things he’s got all bottled up over his abused childhood. Come on, Barry, tell the rest of us what you really think. We’ve heard from your books (rantings of an arrested developement), your wife, your mentoring pastors,your campaign staff, but we’ve not heard from the real you.

Hey, TOS #90, my point is clear. Sorry you can’t get it, but that’s what happens when trolls try to run with the rest of the real world.

Great post DougT…can’t be said any better than that. I’m a big fan of MM’s writing, but she goes demagogue for effect way more than she needs to.

emjen, that was a lame post, even for you.

Sorry, Michelle, but I can’t agree with you on this one.

I used to live in San Francisco, and comparing San Francisco to Baghdad is insulting…to Baghdad.

What’s so lame? Care to specify? Or is this just you being a typical “liberal troll” like always?

As someone who has faced liberal condescension in her life (from family members), you really don’t get it or understand. You’d rather exist in your holier-than-thou bubble of contrariness where, oh my Lord, we look at the actions of a person (as well as their words) and judge accordingly.

Your reaction is just what I expect without any contextual response given…

emjem, all your posts drip with whatever baggage it is you carry around. All sorts of anger and bitterness with an overlay of disproportional outrage and demagoguery at every turn.

“PISS OFF TROLL”…really?! That’s lame. You’re like a petulant little child lashing out in bursts of unhinged emotion every time a fellow poster makes a point in any way at odds with your point of view. That’s lame. I’ll say it again: you have no idea what it means to be a real conservative.

i s’pose biden had it right when he apologized for saying obama was “articulate”. doh!

- just another bitter, gun-owning, God-fearing kid raised in small-town PA, that has no problems with immigrants like his ancestors (who entered this country legally mind you) that worked their collective butts off to get what they had and didn’t expect a handout from the country that gave them the opportunity to make something for themselves.

oh…and i imagine no one would have any problems with a republican commenting about inner-city folk “clinging” to their “rap music”, “air jordans”, and “starter jackets” – bitter because yet another democrat administration promised them a hand-up (but didn’t tell them about the foot-in-the-chest they’d be getting simultaneously?) wait…that would be racist…my bad.

red necks…UNITE!

LOL! Just imagine the “Reverend” Wright swearing in a President elect “I hate my Mama” Obama, “Do you Brother Obama, Swear to that you will faithfully execute the office of President of the G*DDAM*ED US KKK of AMERICA, and will you stop spreading that AIDS, and take down that Liberty Bell, curse that pedophile Thomas Jefferson and tear down his memorial, etc., etc.
And of course Michelle Obama would be working hard to get a bunch of typical white people to sit behind her husband on the stands. Ok to vomit now.
