Mr. Bradley,
I wouldn’t characterize your column as resembling a NY Gossip Column just because you mention the yacht twice. But when rube like me reads of a gargauntuan boat being played on by the west coast elites I depend on to inform me about my oversized carbon footprint, I take notice.
Obama spoke the truth in the sense that he said what a lot of people, friends of mine included, believe about small towns. He didn’t speak a truth that holds across the country but one held by those that actually believe themselves superior to small town america. Most of those friends actually came from those small towns.
I hear such nuggets of wisdom on a regular basis but their stupidity finally becomes clear when they are voiced in an open forum. The more they are defended, the more out of touch the defenders reveal themselves to be.
