It's Got Legs

I thought that Senator Obama's lastest foot in mouth statement on Clinging to Religion would disipate like everything else negative about him.

I was wrong.

Michael Goodwin of the Daily News calls him Snob-ama in an op-ed today.

There are thousands of articles on the Google and as JM pointed out yesterday CNN spent quite a bit of time covering the Bad News Barr-y.

No Quarter has part of the video up of Senator Obama's speech at a fundraiser in San Francisco. His supporters may say he speaks the truth but if you watch just the little bit of the speech he is calling small town people racist. Period. He says when the "pitch" is that government can change the fact that it's delivered by a 46 year old black guy named Barack Obama that adds another layer of skeptism.

You see, they're cynical, racist and bitter. And I wonder at the word "pitch." Is he in advertising? By the way, the crowd titters appreciatively at his remark. Oh, isn't he just the funniest? Mocking small town people in big industrial states at a fund raiser where the price of admission was $2300?

I find it interesting, too, that the Reverend Wright said that "Hillary doesn't know what it is to be black man" yet Senator Obama can put himself in the shoes of a small town (assumingly white) person and tell us exactly how he/she feels. In John's post below when he is agonizing over the price of arugula, you know he feels their pain!

Senator Obama seems to spend a lot of time explaining himself. On this he started out defending his remarks and when that didn't work he now says he regrets them. Like his fab speech on race. He never explains why he was sitting in those pews for twenty years.

Because he can't.
