What does Barack “Mr. Hope and Unity” Obama and his campaign have against white, working class Americans?
One day after being drubbed by Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania to the tune of 200,000+ votes, Obama’s chief political adviser David Alexrod was on National Public Radio claiming that white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter:
“The white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years. This is not new that Democratic candidates don’t rely solely on those votes.”
Listen to this foolish statement on NPR’s website here.
This is what happens when you let Facebook, Myspace, and Obama Girl choose your candidate: a glib and ludicrous dismissal of the Democrats’ long appeal to populist-minded, union households since FDR’s New Deal coaliton and yet more evidence of the Obama campaign’s hyper-leftist, out-of-touch snob appeal. Five of the last six elected Democratic President — James Earl Carter, William Jefferson Clinton, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Harry S. Truman, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt — won because of their appeal to moderate, working class Democrats. The only exception, JFK, possibly stole his election — an ugly fact nostalgic liberals often ignore.
The massive electoral failures of McGovern, Mondale, and Kerry were due in no small part to crippling cases of Snob Syndrome — an affliction apparently contagious in the Obama camp. Between the anti-White hate speech of Obama’s spiritual adviser, his wife’s stump speech anti-Americanism, and the candidate and campaign’s ongoing anti-working class rhetoric and negative race baiting campaign, one wonders why in the world any Democratic voter or superdelegate could still possibly see Obama as anything but unelectable.
Some three weeks after troubling audio from Obama’s autobiography Dreams from My Father started making waves on YouTube…
…and Obama’s now infamous assertion that small-town folks cling to god, guns, and xenophobia because they’re bitter it is plain to see that Obama is far from the transcendent, unifying figure he claims to be: he can’t even unify his own party.
His campaign has played a google of nutty, nasty, negative tricks during this campaign — from blaming Hillary Clinton for Benzair Bhutto’s death to labeling her and her husband racists. This is party unity? No, this is puma (party unity my ass!) His campaign’s inexplicable new insistence on alienating small town, working class Americans is merely icing on the cake.
One hopes that voters in North Carolina and Indiana will have the courage to ignore the shills at CNN and MSNBC put the Obama campaign out of its misery — before he unifies the whole party into real clear electoral oblivion in November.
