It's amazing that people like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are Washington politicians. Do they possess the political skills it takes to get elected? Clearly they do. But what's amazing is that they are in the profession of representing the American people when they seem to have such disdain for the people they represent. If one is representing America, shouldn't that person actually like and respect Americans? In recent comments, Obama once again showed his arrogance by blaming the American people and not his policies for the economic mess the country is in.

As noted in a story in Politico.com, during a Democrat fundraising event in Massachusetts, Obama "faulted the economic downturn for Americans' inability to 'think clearly' and said the burden is on Democrats 'to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.'"

"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," Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. "And the country's scared."
These are incredible statements. Unlike Barack Obama, I'm quite confident all of you can understand what he's really saying. What Obama is trying to get across to Democrat donors is that his policies are good (probably "perfect" in his mind), and the only reason the Democrats are going to go down in flames in a few weeks is because the American people are not "thinking clearly." Hopefully, I'm not the only one who is offended by such talk.

Obama is not the only one with this attitude. As Andrea Tantaros points out in her column on FoxNews.com, Vice President Joe Biden recently stated, "Democrats aren't running on the administration's accomplishments like health-care and financial-regulatory overhaul and the stimulus because it's just too hard to explain."

You don't have a teleprompter? You should get one. Highly recommended.

The fact that he got elected in the first place is an indication that an awful lot of Americans weren't thinking clearly.

Incumbents do well when the economy is purring.
But when times are tough, the challenger (and/or the "other" party) does much better.
We all know this to be true.

Witness 2008 for example A.

Yet, when Obama himself was able to point the finger and lay blame on the inbumbent GOP, he called it "change".
But now that the blame falls upon his shoulders he cries about Americans being too dumb to vote properly.

Now, an agrument could very well be made that he is correct, but I abhore hypocrisy.
And I detest arrogance almost as much.


Perhaps he was listening to his lovely wife for advice on how to view America?

He's just rehashing Jimmy Carter's "malaise" speech.

It's the fault of average Americans that they can't tune into his obvious intellect and greatness.

In one respect, Idi Amin Jr. may be correct: Americans have a tendancy to not think clearly during election time.

After all, they rushed out and voted for a guy who promised "fundemental change" of America without actually having him define just what that specifically meant.

Change for the worse is just as valid as change for the better when you're talking about "change" alone...
