Contempt detected in Obama's remarks

Barack Obama seemed to have survived the blasphemous rants of his preacher and remained relatively untarnished by the perceived dissatisfactions of his privileged wife.

If Kathleen Parker is right, Hillary will hardly be seen as a coal miner's daughter.

My family one generation away is from rural stock. They attended church over three times a week, raised a big garden, killed a pig every year, as a child I snapped beans, shucked corn, and picked berries for pies while my grandmother cleaned the houses of the rich in the area (third generation with the same family) and my grandfather went off to the factory. The strange thing is the next generation did not stay rural and went on to be black professionals but becuase of this they are the honest trustworthy salt of the earth employers seek. People can attack the rural lifestyle but noone can deny that if these rural folks make it to college, they are most wanted by employers becasue they are from the salt of the earth and are not as my other late grandmother a cook and my grandfather who left his rural community to be a welder and came back on the weekeds would call a city slicker. Rural Roots have less problems, they used to anyway but lately urban problesm of poverty, drugs, and other issues are coming to rural communities.

I don't think that the Obama elitist thing is going to go away---this country was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of physical laborers. I know too many people who are still offended by his remarks. There is also more to be coming out about his relationship with Ayers, and the Chicago political machine....will be interesting....
