Poorly educated white Americans are pitiful
What a tragedy that poorly educated, working-class, white, small-town Americans will reject a truly smart, capable, good-hearted, visionary leader like Obama simply because they are trapped by prejudices that rule them almost like daemonic possession!
I can find ignorant statements made by any class, race, ethnicity or background.
The problem with people like you, is you assume that others see Obama as smart, capable, good-hearted and visionary. I may give him smart, the rest no.
Has he been an outstanding senator? No, he has been average. Is he good hearted? Ask Alice Palmer and others who's name he removed from ballots. Is he visionary? What vision? It's never spelled out.
I'm sorry, but saying the waters are going to lower because he's elected is just silly, and it turns people off.
So many people on the left mock and look down on people, then wonder why the get labeled as elitist. It's because you look down on people.
