Can Barack Obama Heal Your Bigotry, Religious Mania, and Those Unnatural Feelings Toward Your Cousin? Yes, He Can!
Shorter Barack Obama, from the campaign trail.
It’s okay, you snake-handling, backwoods, gun-toting, racist, homophobic, cousin-poking, banjo-playing, one-toothed hayseeds. I know it’s not your fault that you’re like that. You’d be cool and progressive just like me if only someone just cared about you.
Vote for me!
Yep, nothing brings in the Democratic white vote like letting them know that it’s not their fault they’re the most disgusting people on the face of the planet. Luckily for them, Barack’s in town. Come to the Obamessiah and be healed of all your evolutionary backwater infirmities!
Before this inspired bit of condescending voter outreach, the Snake Oil and Hallelujah campaign was busy promoting the white people to the front of the crowd and sending their minority supporters to the back of the bus crowd. Can’t have enough of those toothless hicks right up front loving on their man!
UPDATE: Says Allahpundit:
Hey, Barry? The objection here isn’t that you’re “out of touch” (as Trent Lott is), it’s that you’re a condescending, crypto-Marxist, elitist liberal poseur. And your what’s-the-matter-with-Kansas apologia tonight in Indiana doesn’t do a blessed thing to change that impression.
UPDATE 2: Ouch!
Meanwhile, Confederate Yankee has the blog post title of the night: “Obama Explains God-Crazy, Gun-Humping Pennsylvania Rubes to San Francisco’s Billionaire’s Row” (via Michelle Malkin’s rocking link sidebar). And could it be that the Obamessiah has a new campaign song?

from swimming freestyle:
"Barack Obama is a remarkably eloquent man and turning into a remarkably capable politician. But if the Senator believes it's smart to insult voters from a state critical to your success, he's hit one of the worst false notes yet in his campaign.
Yeah, I know what his campaign said, and that may have been what he meant. But a sophisticated candidate doesn't refer to voters in language that can be construed as derogatory or insulting. Obama asserted Pennsylvania voters are bitter and so simple and lacking in maturity and intelligence that they address their frustration by clinging to primitive and reactionary crutches rather than addressing their problems in constructive ways.
It's divisive. And not the way to attract the voters you need most."

Jay, I like how you said that. You're a lot more polite than I. I must admit, though, that I've pretty much had it with Obama's barely-concealed disdain for those he deems beneath him, which at this point includes most of the country.
It appears Obama is mimicing tactics of the irreverent Wright who slammed rich white people to scored points with his black followers. Now here goes Obama slamming small town USA looking to score votes with the rich white city folks. Obama is proving to be a good student of his mentor but not much more evolved than the cat fight mentality of certain teenage girls.
