"Ever notice how frequently BO says some form of “let me be clear with you” as if everyone else was a moron to whom he is addressing gently."

Sure. It's the essence of the Left: a sense that the unwashed masses are incapable and unworthy of freedom, as that would be far too messy. "Those people" need someone smarter and more qualified than they are to make their decisions for them. Someone, of course, like the Left.

Self-referential, self-satisfied conceit lies at the core of all Marxist dogma, and Obama's got a bad case of it. We are so screwed.
