Dear Senator Obama,
I have been becoming more and more disillusioned with you over the last month or so. It wasn't bad enough that you advocate to leave just born infants to die in closets, or that your former pastor and spiritual adviser (who is expected to be the man who forms your conscience, at least that's what it means in Catholic circles) says things like: "(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him... The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.", now you're looking down on good, hard working, small-town Americans by saying:
"It's not surprising, then, that they get bitter -- they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy toward people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations".
My, Senator, it's like shooting feet in a barrel, isn't it... well... your own foot, anyway. This sort of sentiment probably played well in Sodom-by-the-bay, with your latte swilling elitist snob friends but it doesn't play too well here, or I would imagine in the small towns in Pennsylvania.
Once was a time you could have gotten away with those sorts of statements. Sometimes the mail took weeks to travel around the country.
Now communication happens at light speed in the blink of an eye. What you say your $1000 / plate liberal gatherings gets played for a million satellite dishes minutes later. So you have to take responsibility for your actions.
To quote a famous pastor: "Your CHICK-ens... are COMIN' home... ... ... to ROOST".
