As if he wasn't elitist enough already...

Barack Obama claims that he's a man of the people, who can understand their struggles and hardships. Yet his pompus attitude and his patronizing comments (for example, of course, is his comment regarding Pennsylvanians "clinging to their guns and religion") have continued to shed a steady light on his true character throughout this campaign season.

I find it quite funny and ironic that Donatella Versace has dedicated her new spring fashion line to Obama, saying that he inspired her collection designed for "a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power." Now, the major group of the democratic party that was loyal to Hillary that Obama needs to win over are made up of white, middle class, working folks. People that have been flexing their muscles all their lives. People who have to work; who can't "relax" and wallow in their inherent "power." What does this fashion line say to them? Obama doesn't understand you--he's never worked a day in his life! Yet this line is supposed to be inspired by and honoring to him! I must admit, I'm enjoying the fact that such an honor might have such a negeative effect on his campaign!
