Quote of the Day

In a David Warren column at the RealClearPolitics.com website we find this political insight:

To a man like Obama, as he has let slip on too many occasions when away from his teleprompter, "Middle America" is not something to be compromised with, but rather, something that must be manipulated, because it is stupid. And the proof that it can be manipulated, is that he is the president today.

I am reminded of Groucho Marx's quip to the effect that he wouldn't choose to belong to any club with standards so low that it was willing to admit him. Similarly, Obama has to be saying to himself that he cannot identify with Middle America because it was dumb enough to elect him.
