It's The Reaction Stupid!

A lot of people are trying to spin or downplay recents quotes from Obama, his wife, and Jerimiah Wright...

It's seems there are many defenders who believe these are situations where "poor choice of words" are used or a phrase was "badly written" or that's not what they "really meant"...

I do not accept these as true answers, and I'll tell you why...

If you ever go back to these phrases and comments from the Obamas and Wright, you'll notice something that nobody seems to notice...

The crowd response...

Many have been offended by recent comments across the landscape, but, as if by sheer irony and improbability, NO ONE in attendance immediately rejected the "poorly chosen words"!!!...

When Wright was yelling "God daaaaaamn America", there wasn't a gasp...There was admiration and exhuberation...When Michelle tells the crowd she's never been proud of America in her adult life, there was polite applause...When Obama tells how small-towns "cling to guns and religion", there was nobody saying "What?!?!?!"...

That tells you that whether or not Obama's words or Michelle's word or Wright's words were "poorly written" or not, one thing is clear...

The crowd ACCEPTED the words as truth...

If anyone thinks that what Obama said was condescending and arrogant, just think about the fact that he has many supporters who feel the exact same way...
