Arrogance Run Amok: Obama Says Americans Aren’t ‘Thinking Clearly’
It’s amazing that people like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are Washington politicians. Do they possess the political skills it takes to get elected? Clearly they do. But what’s amazing is that they are in the profession of representing the American people when they seem to have such disdain for the people they represent. If one is representing America, shouldn’t that person actually like and respect Americans? In recent comments, Obama once again showed his arrogance by blaming the American people and not his policies for the economic mess the country is in.
As noted in a story in Politico.com, during a Democrat fundraising event in Massachusetts, Obama “faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to ‘think clearly’ and said the burden is on Democrats ‘to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.’”
“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country’s scared.”
These are incredible statements. Unlike Barack Obama, I’m quite confident all of you can understand what he’s really saying. What Obama is trying to get across to Democrat donors is that his policies are good (probably “perfect” in his mind), and the only reason the Democrats are going to go down in flames in a few weeks is because the American people are not “thinking clearly.” Hopefully, I’m not the only one who is offended by such talk.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
