Did Obama's Arrogance Trump His Intelligence?

by jackdeal

It was a masterful campaign right through to Texas.   Just before
Texas Obama admitted they had let up for a few days and could
have perhaps won or closed the gap with a stronger finish.

This was to my recollection the first time Obama admitted his
campaign had made a mistake.  Up to that point it was by most
accounts a masterful campaign; in fact, an almost perfect
campaign.

But as we know now, that was the calm before the storm.

First came the Michelle Obama comments that she had never been
proud to be an American until her husband ran for office.  Whew. 
There's one that will come back before November.

The Swift Boat propaganda masterminds will somehow create an
image of her being First Lady and trying to represent the country
she is not so proud of.   Whew.

Next came the very Rev. Wright or as he is now called the Rev.
Wrong.   Willie Brown, perhaps one of the most savvy Democrats
and former Speaker of the California Assembly and Mayor of San
Francisco, nailed it on the head.

Willie said the real pros when they make the decision to go for
high office look all around themselves and clean up the rough
spots anticipating the vetting process.   Obama did not do that
thinking he and his message were above all the pettiness.  By the
way, for those that aren't aware of it, Willie Brown is African
American.

Obama's explanation of the Rev. Wright was OK for his supporters
but insufficient for his detractors.   Does Obama expect everyone
to believe he sat in the good Reverend's church for 20 years and
simply not hear Wright's anti-American rantings?   Of course lots
of folks do sleep through church...

But the real problem with the good Reverend is yet to come.  
The Swift Boat propaganda machine will bring up, as Vice
President Dick Cheney said at the recent press convention, the
prospect of the Rev. Wrong giving invocations at the White House.
  Whew.  That won't play well in Peoria and a lot of other
places.

And then there's the ex- terrorist and "English professor"
William Ayres.   He and wife Bernadette Dohrn are quite the
darling couple and have a loyal following amongst the
progressives at the University of Chicago where he is a
"Distinguished Professor."

Obama said he was only eight when Ayres and company bombed the
United States so what's the big deal?  The big deal is just how
will that play in Peoria and the odds are it won't play so well
either.

It will play about as well as Obama's elitist statement that
rednecks cling to their guns and religion because they are bitter
about the economy and their government.

Whew.  He may have been talking to the liberal progressives out
here in California but his message will be relayed to every small
town in the land.

Now it appears the clouds are gathering over what now
increasingly appears to be a defective campaign.   His
explanations and complaints about rising above it all show either
contempt or arrogance or both.

Many Americans take very seriously their President's loyalty,
character and judgment, something the Obama campaign has vastly
underestimated.

Arrogance is the only explanation.

Obama is a really smart guy and he likes entertaining others
with his brilliance.  He likes to "show off" and "wing it" and
that's what gets him in trouble.   Like a night club comedian he
lives or dies off the audience's reaction; that's why he says
things like small town folks are bitter and cling to their
religion.

As a "typical white person" it's not really about Democrats like
me, who really don't care what preachers say and don't pay
attention to what clowns like William Ayres say.

It's my friends in the South and Midwest that are crying "foul."
  These folks are white, Reagan Democrats or Arnold Republicans. 
 They are centrist, patriotic and by many experts the so-called
swing vote.

For Obama they unfortunately don't forgive and forget and they
are spreading the word.

By all accounts Obama is a very smart person and I voted for him
in the California primary.    His mistaken views of economics and
proposals for an all powerful government would have been issues
for the fall but now they will play second fiddle to his loyalty,
character and judgment problems.

In an election the Democrats simply could not lose it appears it
is now a real race and one we Democrats can definitely lose.  And
in the end it may well be Obama's arrogance that leads to his
downfall.

Like Dick Morris said, the biggest problem we Democrats have may
turn out to be that Obama is our party's nominee.
