We became very familiar not all that long ago with Michelle Obama's view that she lived most of her adult life not being proud of America. Further she only became proud of America when the Godless, progressive left nominated her husband for president.

Well here's some more elite scorn being dripped all over us now. Obama is embarrassed by the fact that we're not more European. Even though he himself is not bi-lingual.

Now... he is responding to all of it claiming "you keep using dis word, and I do not tink it means, what you tink it means..."

And since much of the Southside of Chicago, where he did all that volunteer work - and he's so proud of the results of, can barely read at a 4th grade level, wouldn't Mr. Obama think that learning English might be a good priority?

Then again, that would cause him to be "...talkin' down to black people."

There is no doubt that Obama is bright guy, you don't get to be the editor of the Harvard Law Review just on luck. The problem that Obama has - like so many Academics, Lawyers, Elites in the nation today... they live in pretend-land and the rest of us live... here. Obama should sit and consider carefully what his real vision for America is. In all honesty if he did he would refrain from coming off as always being smarter than everybody else in the room.

Or perhaps he has, and the vision he entails is one of frightening marxist ideas that no normal person would support and therefore he has to run a "retail campaign" (hope and change) to trick voters into supporting him until he has power - then running roughshod over their rights once in power. And if you look at his voting record, you already have a pretty clear idea of where he lines up along those lines...

But this is 2008 - who looks at things like voting records anymore...
