More Obama Arrogance

Before I continue with this post, I want to tell you that my wife and I are both under the weather. This will be my only post today, barring something major breaking... such as more bingo corruption arrests or Hillary announcing she's divorcing Bill and hitcing up with Obama. (Note for new readers: that's a joke.)

Do you remember Obama's comments about how bitter people cling to their guns and religion? No? Here's a quick reminder.

“It’s not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigration sentiment or anti-trade sentiment.”

That single sentence launched a firestorm of criticism, and could well have derailed his bid for the Presidency if followed by more of the same. You'd think that, having once made this kind of mistake, an intelligent man would LEARN from that mistake and avoid similar missteps.

You'd be wrong.


This time, he's talking about our "fear and frustration" to explain why the Democrats may well get well and truly toasted in November's mid-term election.

"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. And the country's scared.”

Did you catch that, now? We, the voters, are ignoring facts and science and, instead, panicking. We're too stupid to recognize the truth when it's before our faces. We're the stampeding herd of cattle trampling everything in its path.

Isn't it nice to discover that our President holds us in such high esteem?

PresBo is telling us that we're dumb, emotional idiots who ignore his own superiority. We don't recognize the superman that we have in office right now. He's better than us, and he knows what is good for this country, whereas we are just too stupid to hold our breath underwater.

The arrogance of this position matches... no, it EXCEEDS the arrogance displayed during the campaign with his "cling to guns and religion" moment. He's been hinting at the "voters are stupid" thing for a while. Remember the whole "ObamaCare-will-be-popular-if-I-can-explain-it-in-small-enough-words-so-that-the-idiot-voters-can-understand-it" bit? Oh, he called it a "messaging problem" and his fault for failing to explain it in a way we could accept... but it's the same thing.

Remember this in two weeks. President Obama thinks you are dumb, stupid, incapable of understanding facts. He thinks you react mindlessly to "fear and frustration" in times of stress.

And HE is the man who is setting policy and signing laws. Does ANYBODY really think that PresBo is governing for the good of the country? No, he has his own theoretical ideas as to what SHOULD work and he's pursuing them, regardless of what we think.

If that wasn't clear to you before, then it should be clear now.
