You always see in the polls, while a majority of voters may disapprove of the job President Obama is doing, a larger majority think that he “cares about people like them.” Let me just say for the record that I don’t think he cares about people like me. Put me in the other group.
I’m a community organizer’s worst nightmare. I don’t own a lot but I’m always skeptical of rabble rousers and trouble makers. I’m middle class. I go to a mainstream church not identified by its racial makeup, but by what we believe. I pay my bills. I’m not one of the people who ever thought Obama’s election would mean I don’t have to pay my mortgage anymore. I didn’t think electing him would have any impact at all on the rise of the oceans. I don’t want the government doing everything for me, I just mostly want it out of the way. I don’t want a president who’s sensitive, I want a president who will defend our country and not go around apologizing for it. I want a president who understands federalism, not one who attacks states for trying to uphold the rule of law. I want a president who understands economics in the real world, not just in the halls of academia. I want a president who has held down a real job, who has met a payroll, and who has achieved something on his own or met failure trying. I want a president who loves liberty, not one who is constantly finding ways to curb liberty. I want a president who appreciates our allies and stares down our enemies, and doesn’t hug our enemies and alienate our allies. I want a president I can trust, and I don’t trust Barack Obama at all, on any issue. I don’t trust his judgment or his instincts or his intentions. At all.
So no, he doesn’t care about me or people like me. I’m glad we cleared that up.
