Obama 2.0: The Voters are Morons and Don’t Understand Me
NEW OBAMA PLAN TO PASS HEALTH CARE:
TALK SLOWER and USE MONOSYLLABIC WORDS
Pity poor, poor Barack Obama: elected to lead a nation of idiots.
The president has a new approach to passing his take-over of health care: explain it in very small words so the voters–those morons–can understand him.
You see, that’s all that’s standing in the way of his glorious transformation of the USA into something both he and the First Lady can be proud of–for the first times in their adult lives.
Mastering this theme is the hilarious–but accurate–read by A. Barton Hinkle of the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
From Hinkle: Talking Down to the Public Will Surely Work .
This is a complex issue, and the longer it was debated, the more skeptical people became. I take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the American people.
–Barack Obama, State of the Union.
There’s a lot in the bill that people are going to like. It’s just a question of understanding it.
–ABC’s Cokie Roberts, Dec. 20.
What are the immediate plans for recalibrating the message or intensifying the message to explain better to the American people what you’re trying to do?
–Question to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, Jan. 20.
It mighty big of man with nice voice to take blame like that. Him not need to. Head honchos not often take blame. Most times after big screw-up, head honchos say they have “full confidence” in someone who work for them — right before pushing someone off edge of cliff, or letting someone twist “slowly, slowly” in wind, like tricky Nixon guy did with man who ran FBI.
Man with nice voice not like those other head honchos. Him bring change to Washington already, see?
But him right. Him not explain health care good. Use too many big words. Say too many compound-complex sentences. Confuse American people. American people not want that. American people want simple explanation. Simpler the better.
Me feel kind of sorry. It must really get on nerves for man with nice voice and people on his side, like lady on TV and cheerleaders in White House press pool. Why can’t lamebrain American people get idea through thick skulls? Them not know how to make choices in own best interests! Need enlightened leaders to make choices for them. (Enlightened = smart. Me look this up in thing called “dictionary.” Dictionary good! Try sometime!)

Shame on you, stereo-typing Americans like that. We can be blissfully ignorant, it says so in that piece of paper the Constitution, right? The one I can’t understand one sentence and Something in that bill of something or another thingy, that I never get to use anyway, ay. Let my yeahs be yeahs and my nays be nays, thats all I got to say about that.

I am not sure if I agree with your post here. See you do make the best point, I don’t think you have actually given a large amount of thought to the opposite side of the argument. Perhaps I could do a guest post or a follow-up, just tell me.
