For the longest time, I couldn’t understand why so many people were falling for Barack Obama’s socialist rhetoric, his arrogant belief that he’s better than everyone else, his empty promises and lack of realistic policy. Thanks to Obama and Biden, I finally know how people in our Midwestern small towns are choosing their candidates.

Some of us are bitter, Bible-thumping, gun-hugging racists. We’re against Obama, because we’re against change. We’re against cooperation (read: socialist rule). We’re against anyone who looks, acts, thinks, or speaks differently than we do.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Thanks for clearing that up, Barack.

The rest of us are just too stupid to realize that Barack is a socialist nitwit who hobnobs with terrorists and looks down his nose at us. We believe him when he says he will add billions of dollars worth of new programs without ever raising taxes on us, because he’s for the working man, and against the rich. We believe him, because he’s different- he’s educated, and smart, and we’ve never met anyone like that before. See, we don’t have ed-u-cayshun here in our small towns, and smart people? Don’t make me laugh.

“All this stuff about how different Barack Obama is, they’re not just used to somebody really smart. They’re just not used to somebody who’s really well educated. They just don’t know quite how to handle it. Cause if he’s as smart as Barack is he must not be from my neighborhood.”

Joe Biden, I appreciate you letting me in on the state of education in our backwoods, backwards towns.

I know Biden was actually talking about why people don’t like Barry- they’re just too stupid to understand his lofty ideas. However, it occurred to me that he could have been saying the opposite just as easily. Those who believe the “Obama as Messiah” message are fooled by those fancy words we don’t really understand, and the rest of us would be, if only we could see something beyond our gun sights besides our Bibles.

Either way, Joe and Barack have both shown an absolute disdain for the very people they claim to understand and support- the common man.
