The oh so sophisticated New Yorker has a picture of Obama and wife on the cover, depicting what they assume is the right-wingnut slur of Obama as a Muslim and his wife as a chic radical guerrilla.
As usual, the sophisticates miss the point. Conservatives worry more about Obama’s out-of-touch Hyde Park elitism, the curious access he seems to have had to City Hall divorce records of opposing candidates, the unsavory connections like Tony Resko, and the general not-ready-for-prime-time aroma of his public pronouncements.
But don’t mind us. We’re just a bunch of mean-spirited, racist, homophobic Swiftboating extremists.
And then there’s the real problem with Obama, that he seems to represent the one last Big Push for big government. Liberals know best, you know.
It is ordinary rank-and-file Democrats that will have to pay for his hubris, the hubris that he has picked up by osmosis from his life in the liberal bell jar.
