Sneering Elitists

What's really been revealed in the last two weeks is the contempt this President and this Congress have for the American people. Yes, we knew they were arrogant, but now we know how they really feel about us 'ordinary' Americans. They don't like us. They don't like our questions. They don't like how we cling to our liberty and individualism (not to mention our guns and religion). Dissent in the Bush years and you're called a patriot. Dissent in the Obama years and you're part of an unruly Nazi mob. Fare thee well, President Consensus-builder, we hardly knew ye.

This is a sobering and important editorial....makes you wonder what's going on behind the scenes in the Obama White House. Chicago-style politics comes to Washington. God help us.

And then we have Kathleen Sebeius, in one of the most misleading, paternalistic and offensive statements to come from this administration, sounding like an Greyhound commercial, "leave the driving to us." Don't you worry your little head over the complexities of health care reform - We nice folks in Washington will take care of you. Right you will.

And really, how dumb do they think we are? All the sudden it's called "Insurance Reform" and not "Health Care Reform." And instead of a "Public Plan," they now call it "Co-ops". How insulting. Nothing but semantics. Smoke and mirrors. What a bunch of arrogant hucksters! I'd compare this deceptive administration to a bunch of carneys, but that'd be horribly unfair to the carneys.

Update: Bill Maher detests Americans. Notice how the liberal elites always know best how we ordinary people should live, they know best what we need and don't need, and they certainly know best how to spend our money. Have you noticed? Liberals pin every problem (a.k.a. "crisis") on ordinary Americans and our individualism, our 'stupidity', and [gasp] our greed -- they never, ever blame government for its mamoth failures -- nor do they ever acknowledge their own unquenchable greed to control every aspect of our lives. BTW, Maher failed to mention just how stupid Obama voters proved themselves to be.

Update 2: The good news is that the protests are having an impact.
