MORE RUBES self-identify. “There is another explanation, of course. Obama was never serious or sincere about faith-based outreach, any more than he was serous about going ‘line by line’ through the budget. . . . As with so many other disappointed voters, faith-based voters, it is fair to conclude, were misled by candidate Obama, who has turned out to be, as his critics predicted, a run-of-the-mill leftist.”

Yeah, it’s funny how all those ignorant mouth-breathing troglodytes were right about Obama, while the political gentry were wrong, about pretty much everything.

UPDATE: Reader C.J. Burch emails:

I have no way of knowing, but I suspect the political gentry thought Obama was in on the joke like they were. They had no idea that he intended to govern the way he had lived. If they had known…Sarah Palin would be distancing herself from a badly faltering president McCain right now. At least I hope that is what would have happened. At least that way we could console ourselves with the knowledge that the political gentry were stupid not delusional.

At this point, that would be some small consolation.
