They never heard Bush talking about redistributing their wealth. He never hammered and hammered about taxing the rich. Of course, I am not convinced that there is a true awakening. If Barbara Streisand is doing a fund raiser for Barbara Boxer, then she still doesn't understand that she is helping to fund those who will eventually harm her and her friends in Hollywood.
The important thing about all of this though, is not the ability of the elite to reason. The important thing is that there is starting to be a shift in what is fashionable. Obama wasn’t elected because folks actually listened to what he said. He was elected because he was the fad of the moment.
Like all fads, his is fading fast.
It is starting to become trendy for the left to bash him. They see he has failed, and the left elites don’t like to be the last in line for anything, clinging to a sinking fad. None of them want to be caught dead wearing last years fashion, and Obama is fast becoming last years fashion.
This is telling, because many more leftist lemmings really do follow Babs and her ilk (sad to say). As the elite begin to jump ship, you will see a mass exodus. Like I said, no one wants to be caught dead wearing last years fashion, and the sooner they can get on to the next fashion, the more intelligent they feel.
Articles like this make me feel good in a sophomoric sort of way.
