Barack Hussein
Obama
never ceases to amaze us with his comments regarding the very people he
claims to want to attract to his campaign. His most recent case of
foot-in-mouth disease was evidenced last Sunday when he made
disparaging remarks about the voters of Pennsylvania.
Obama
was speaking to a group of wealthy California donors in San Francisco.
He said that residents of small-town America “cling to guns or religion
or antipathy
to people who
aren’t
like them” out of bitterness over lost jobs. When his opponents,
Hillary Clinton and John McCain jumped all over the remarks as
arrogant,
Obama
initially dug in his heels and defended them as being an accurate
portrayal of the people in the heartland. But by this past weekend he
found himself somewhat backtracking, saying he didn't quite phrase his
comments the 'way I should have'.
I think
Obama
knew exactly what he meant to say. He believes that those who are
religious cling to God out of a frustration with their lot in life,
rather than out of a deep, abiding faith in a supreme being. And those
who choose to exercise their second amendment rights do so out of anger
and bitterness at corporate America, rather than the desire to protect
themselves and their loved ones from the threat of criminals and a
tyrannical government run amok.
This is the man who would have
us believe that he wishes to heal the divide between the rich and the
poor, and between black and white. This is the man whose socialist
leanings are becoming more evident with the passing of each day.
The fact is...
Obama is an elitist. These comments clearly point to the
classism that has been brewing beneath the surface of the man who pretends to be the "everyman" candidate.
We still know very little about
Barack Obama.
But every day we learn more and more about what he truly stands for and
the shady characters he has allowed himself to be associated with.
Those he says are mentors to him, such as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright,
speak volumes about the very essence of who he is, where he really
stands on America and its values.
If
Obama
really believes that faith in a living God and the exercising of the
rights guaranteed us in the United States Constitution are some sort of
crutches born out of anger, bitterness and xenophobia, is this them man
we want leading us into the 21st century?
I think not.
