“most educated people would have a pretty good idea about Wright after five minutes, let alone twenty years. The reverend is not a subtle man.”

I think there’s something amiss mentally when Obama can feel comfortable invoking sarcasm against those who disagree with the narrowly passed “reform”. We saw it first when he referred to “folks waving tea bags around”. Now he’s joking how Armageddon didn’t happen then a few days later saying imagine if farmers worried a day after planting seeds. It’s both “See? That didn’t hurt a bit.” and “Be patient. Nothing’s happened yet”. The unpresidential, stand-up comic/divisive tone is worrisome. Maybe Biden could fashion himself into an Ed McMahon sidekick. Does he think this will turn opposition towards him? Is he under such a bubble that he doesn’t realize the level of opposition?
