Who doesn’t the Prince of Privilege talk down to?

Here is an article from Conservative edge.

Noted far left wing New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd says that calling Barak Obama a “liberal elitist” is a smear. Although she does admit that Obama is aloof, dismissive and has an air of a prince of privilege. Coming from a left wing dilettante like Dowd, that is quite an assessment.

And therein lays the essence of one of Barak Obama’s biggest weaknesses, he carries an air of condescension that is normally not appealing to the American electorate. Just ask John Kerry, Al Gore and Michael Dukakis. Except that Obama is far worse than any of those presidential losers.

Last week, the issue raised its ugly head when Jesse Jackson whispered into a hot mic that he would like to castrate Obama for “talking down” to blacks. Which raises the question: Who doesn’t the Prince of Privilege talk down to?

Americans were first treated to the Obama arrogance en masse, when he told a group of San Francisco liberal elitists that Americans in the heartland cling to God and guns out of desperation. Those remarks put the Reagan Democrats demographics in jeopardy for the Democratic nominee.

Female Clinton supporters also smelled the Obama condescension odor towards women. Just ask Geraldine Ferraro what she thinks of Obama's condescension towards women. Many have referred to Obama as a misogynist. This feeling was reinforced when Obama called a female reporter “sweetie” when she addressed a pointed question to Obama.

Lately, some Clinton supporters have borne the brunt of the Obama arrogance when he told them to “just get over it” referring to the Democratic primary. They believe that Obama is paying lip service to the idea of “unity” in order to get their money.

As well, Obama has taken extraordinarily arrogant steps in his campaign. In addition to creating his own presidential seal, he has proposed making a campaign speech at Germany’s Brandenburg Gate, a spot traditionally reserved for world leaders, and has moved his acceptance speech from a "smallish" in door 19,000 seat convention center to a 75,000 seat outdoor stadium. Obama’s camp told network news execs to get over it, when they balked at the cost of moving their operations to include the new venue.

Even Obama’s wife Michelle exudes arrogance and contempt for the little people. Yesterday she sneered at the government tax rebate checks being sent to Americans as part of a bi-partisan stimulus package, as to small. You could buy a pair of earrings with the $600.00 checks but not much else, she told the assembled crowd.

One has to wonder if we Americans are worthy of Barak Obama. As Michelle told one crowd, this is our only chance to get Barak. He won’t run for President again. I don’t know whether to genuflect or kiss his ring.
