Discussing with Andrea Mitchell today the kerfuffle over Pres. Obama's Christianity, Chuck Todd hearkened back to PBO's infamous bitter-clinger line. Obama offered his pronouncement at a private, hoity-toity fundraiser in San Franciscoand Todd claimed Obama didn't mean to demean by it.
According to Todd [quoting Paul Begala], Obama is his mother's son, and like the anthropologist she was, he was simply offering an anthropological analysis of the plight of those poor rural Pennsylvanians.

he was simply offering an anthropological analysis of the plight of those poor rural Pennsylvanians. Its context is utterly condescenting & I-wanna-spoon-with-Obama Chuckie doesn't consider this demeaning?
What a complete suck-up tool.

The mental masturbation in which these people engage begs the question as to how they stay employed.

Would that hair be considered a comb-over or a pre comb-over?

Chuck U claims to be a political analyst, but he's more of an Obama analist.

I thought anthropologists were supposed to be value-neutral about the cultures they study, rather than discuss them in a condescending manner.
Speaking of being scholarly, since when has 0 studied anything? He seems to speak without thinking, which forces him to subsequently backpedal on his inanities.

Keep digging Todd, just keep on digging.
Those 3 MSNBC viewers, other than GLGB, appreciate BHO’s understanding of those PA citizens’ “plight.”
