The Republic Of Rome descended into the tyranny and corruption of Imperial Rome because of class warfare. This conflict between people was ignited by the wicked spirit that fans and manipulates the desires of human nature on behalf of those who want power over the masses.
Rome had an unwritten constitution and three branches of government, like the USA. Their congress had a Senate of patricians and an assembly of plebians. The plebians were later promised bread and circus, something for nothing if they supported the ruling Caesar. Then these same plebians were undrcut by the mass importation of slaves into Rome. Obama did not invent the immigration stratagy.
The Senate of Rome was being threatened through the instigation and manipulation of the people by the tyrants and so the Senate members made deals with the tyrants to preserve their own wealth and power.
In the end everyone abandoned the democratic principles of the Roman Republic and so Imperial Rome was founded under the Caesars. Interestingly the word Caesar is also the root of the word Czar or Tzar. Obama is Caesar of the Czars he appoints.
The Obama technique of promising something for nothing and manipulating the poor for his own agenda was also the essence of the Judas Spirit. John 12:3-7,
"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and annointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariat, Simon's son, which should betray him.
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?
This he said. not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always."
The Judas spirit denies God and uses the poor as a means to increase ones own wealth and power. This is the Obama spirit we have seen in action all year long, using his Marxist, progressive, humanistic, agenda to dismantle our republic.
I just watched the Obama televised transmition from Hawaii. The Obama love of what he often calls the holy Koran, opened the door for Islamic terrorists to avoid interrogation and profiling. Obama never mentions the Holy Bible but honors Islam time and time again. Obama denies our God and did not even thank God once during the telecast, for the detonator failing and foiling this extreme Islamic act of terrorism.
Thank God that the detonator cap failed to explode on Christmas, the day of our Lord's birth. Judas denied God glory and so does Obama who glorifies his holy Koran instead. John defines the Judas, Obama spirit of denial very well. I John 1:22.
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-christ, that denieth the Father and the Son."
There are many who deny Jesus Christ and glorify human nature. Those make up the body of the anti-Christ. Within that body are those who manipulate the rich and the poor to further their own power over humanity. Such ones rise up to their perch of power where the wickedness in high places abides. Ephesians 6:12.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Judas Iscariot was spiritualy wicked. Iscariot, his last name comes from the Latin word, daggerman. A knife in the back is what one receives from the spiritualy wicked. Not a day goes by without some evidence of spiritual wickedness proceeding from Obama and his minions.
The anti-Christ spirit is as old as the fall of mankind. When humanity denied the Word of God and went their own way, we begain to die. In every age there are those who manipuilate and strive to become king of this fallen world. When the true King of heaven on earth was made flesh, the spiritualy wicked denied him. The collective anti-Christ tried to kill Him.
Today Obama sits on that lofty seat of spiritual wickedness. Obama will not win. There is nothing to win but illusion and failure. All creation belongs to the Creator. The LORD God seeks those to love, serve and glorify Him. The door of heaven on earth is open for those who are not fooled by the prince of liars, the spirit of anti-Christ.
So is our Nation, America being tested today. Do we believe the prince of ths world and his promise of bread and circus, all for nothing? Or do we trust in God, our Strength and our Redeemer?
Dear friends we choose God.

Possibilities for nuances, but on its face something likely very simple: city man i.e. city slicker - by extension and description, an intellectually superior urbanite contemptuous of the ignorant, unwashed masses. IOW, Obamaesque... he doesn't care for the poor because he's too busy spending other people's money.
Did Obama even issue a Christmas Day message as he did for Ramadan?
See my tagline...
The Hebrew root of "Iscariot" is "Ish + Kerioth", meaning "man of Kerioth", and the root of "Kerioth" is the Hebrew word for "city", hence "Kerioth Arba, Kerioth Canna, etc" meaning "the city of ...".
Judas's character as a "man of Kerioth or the city" may explain why he chose temporal wealth over eternal life, and why the Democrat Party's coalition is based in population centers of "the cities" and manipulated by demagogues for their own wealth and power.
Your point is well taken from the perspective that the disciples were from the Galilee. A more simple close to the earth and sea people. Judas Iscariot was more sophisticated and this may have enhanced his agenda, desires and schemes?
In Hebrew the word for city or Ir relates to the state of consciousness. Like Melechtzadek (King of Righteousness) Of Irshelom (The City of Peace). We call it Jerusalem today.
It comes down to the matter of the consciousness that shines light or one that prefers darkness. Jesus told us to be a city set upon the hill and shine our light. Judas did not do that and his darkness consumed him. Interesting Zion comes from the root, to shine the light. Har (Mountain) Zion (Of shinning light). At end times a choice is given to serve the light on Har (Mount) Zion or serve the fat oil on Har Magiddo.
Jesus said it best “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” This statement by our Lord should put to rest those concepts that Judas was some kind of hero.
