I had his number way back in December of 2006, but as for the lately smitten amongst our fellow Americans, better late than never. For me the shock of it all was that Hillary said something wonderful and heartfelt — morally and politically credible and oh, such sweet music to our ears — in response to her Democratic opponent’s gaffe:

He might just as well have come out and directly used the term "poor white trash" because that is exactly what he was saying. Unfortunately, as I said on the earlier post, this will be a non-issue because the MSM will not allow it to grow legs. They will quash it before this weekend is over.

And Obama claims the words were ill-considered. Exactly how _do_ you carefully phrase calling a wide swath of America a bunch of racist, redneck morons?

None of this will make a dimes worth of difference to the true believers. But it will likely change a few minds of swing voters. I hope.

Tone deaf that is what Obama is. He was speaking to the enlighten left liberals with this drivel that economic hard times drives people to guns, religion and bigotry toward illegal immigrants. To them this explains why people like such horrible items like guns, and religion. To liberal these are all negative items; to more conservative or normal people these are part of our culture.
It is like that without the hard times these people would see that religion is silly and guns are evil. This is typical liberal arrogance that we have seen time and time again. Together with the Hate America mantra of Obama’s pastor and wife. Obama’s refusal to put his hand on his heart during the Star Spangle Banner or wear a flag. The pro Palestinian slant and how we are evil for getting rid of the worlds horrible dictator.
I have to say that it is obvious to many of us that the Liberal left and their Democratic allies are sympathizing with the enemy. They want us to fail just to show Bush has failed. They are willing and hoping for Americans and Iraqi’s to die just to justify their position. Americans can disagree on tactics but the Liberal left are truly looking more and more like traitors.
The disgust and dripping sense of superiority, pure condescension of Obama is getting more obvious every day. This is the man the Democratic Party wants. I can just say despite the errors and failures of the Republicans, this attitude will stampede Democrats to voting for McCain. Hillary would never have been so tone deaf to insult the voters this way.

@ Mwalimu Daudi - Head Obama "Apostle" Michelle Obama's revelation:

Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your division. That you come out of your isolation. That you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual; uninvolved, uninformed.

I dunno, Gaius - He Who Has No Middle Name survived the "typical white person" slur against his own grandmother. He survived the non-apology about Rev. Wright. Already the MSM is trying to spin this away. Here are quotes from al-AP: In the midst of an assault from his rivals, a defensive Barack Obama said Friday that many working-class Americans are angry and bitter over economic inequalities and have lost faith in Washington — and, as a result, vote on the basis of other issues such as gun protections or gay marriage. And: In Terre Haute, Obama chided McCain for not responding promptly to the home mortgage crisis and criticized Clinton for voting for a bankruptcy bill supported by credit card companies. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080412/ap_on_el_pr/obama_bitter_voters Got it? It's not really the Messiah's fault after all! The unwashed heathen (disgusting, shiftless, worthless rabble that they are) are like sheep that have gone astray, and He and He alone can rescue us because He is our Shepherd. Only He has the wisdom to lead us out of the bondage of our sins. It is up to us to see the error of our ways, lay down our fishing nets, follow Him, and make Michelle proud again.
