As a Harvard man, he fully undertsands the abject ignorance, the racial fear, the superstitious religionists and gun lovers that are out there who simply have not the faintest capacity to understand Rev. Wright and the context he speaks in.
Yeah, well, Obama can waltz between various racial and cultural groups and make nice cocktail conversation under undemanding circumstances. Given the enormous media puffery that has made him a celebrity despite any record of executive accomplishments nor Senate bills passed under his name, this is unsurprising. Other celebrities have little problem doing the same thing.
But, he’s running for chief executive of the leader of the free world, where he’d face some really demanding circumstances. There, the gift of blather is small potatoes measured against the setting of long-term policies, and necessity of defending the country against some really nasty customers all hastily acquiring nuclear weapons. Yes, yes, the media would fawn, and coo, and proclaim his every act a triumph, and bamboozle the public even further. But about the time his Jimmy Carter behavior internationally, and his anti-business regulations domestically, cause a noticeable decline in living standards, he’ll have to choose between a Bill Clinton weathervane act, or facing criticism that will make the inarticulate GW Bush look like FDR.
It takes more than a glib snooty Harvard dude to promote the general welfare of the US, and Obama hasn’t learned enough in his so far pampered career.
