Matalin today on MTP: "Obama is popular because of liberal guilt." I say no.

[jazzjunkysue]

I think Obama's popularity is due to his "guy next door" status.

(Matalin was on Meet The Press today.)

After watching this ultra rich, ultra privileged, elitist president's son stick it to working people, we want someone real. Someone to trust. Someone who cares and understands.

We don't want glamorous or fancy or famous. We want a product of the american dream. A self-made man who has risen up from the ranks. Someone who's suffered a little.

We want real. We want grounded.

Now, realize this is not me trying to sell him to anyone. Most people on DU made their minds up weeks ago. I know that.

I just want to refute what Matalin said today, and Buchannan affirmed: This is not liberal white guilt. I'm not trying to repent from my biggoted misdeeds. I'm just tired of the rich brat in the white house, his stuck up rich, repressed wife, and his drunken rich bratty privileged daughters.

I want real.

1. "Mary Matalin is unpopular because she eats live kittens."- Me.

I can make up crazy bullshit out of thin air, too.

Try it. It's fun.

4. the guy next door? In his 1.6 million dollar house that

he couldn't afford without the help of Rezko?

This is surreal.

[jazzjunkysue]

6. He wasn't born into it. That's the point. All the contenders are rich, now.

That's the difference. He knows real life and real people.

We need a little of that.

7. Oh, good grief....

Hillary wasn't born into any great wealth, either. George Bush was a regular guy, too, remember? You really are gullible.

[jazzjunkysue]

10. If you think HRC will represent you in the WH then you're the gullible one.

[BlackVelvet04]

16. Hillary has a record of supporting women, children

and health care. So, no, I'm not gullible at all. Look at her record, dork.

[f the letter]

8. A fair point. There is no middle class candidate. n/t

[Colobo]

9. Matalin is ugly because she's just ugly.

11. what you want

"We don't want glamorous or fancy or famous. We want a product of the american dream. A self-made man who has risen up from the ranks. Someone who's suffered a little. We want real. We want grounded."

You're describing Bill Clinton exactly. Through his own merit and work, he overcame a horrible childhood to be the most powerful man in the world.

From what I see of Obama's seeming arrogance, I don't think he has learned the value of humility that Bill Clinton has always worn well.

12. How is it that she and James Carville are married? n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

13. The Greatest Mystery Of All!
