The Elitism and Hubris of Obama
This is a beauty. Obama on how he needs to get beyond empty rhetoric in his acceptance speech Thursday night:
"I'm much more concerned with communicating how I intend to help middle-class families live their lives."
Oh gee, thanks Obama, but I'll pass on your"help." I'd prefer the empty rhetoric, if that's okay with you.
The elitism that suggests that middle-class families need his"help" in living their lives is exceeded only by the hubris of him believing he knows what it is that they supposedly need. I'm pretty sure most of the middle-class, more and more of whom are moving up and out of the middle class, can figure out how to live their lives on their own, thankyouverymuch.
It's a sad state of affairs that as bad as Obama is, he's probably not quite as bad as the other major party candidate.
