Rumor has it Obama’s campaign is in talks to sponsor a car at this years Pocono race. Two things bug me: first I have a very hard time believing Obama has ever watched a NASCAR race (after all I don’t think they serve his brand of Pinot at too many tracks these days).  Secondly, didn’t he just call these same people “bitter” just a few months back to all his elitist friends?  Does he really think he can buy off working class america with a logo splashed across the Sprint car?  I think the Obama team is spinning there wheels on this one (bad pun intended). 

 Scooped: Just when you think you’re the first one that thought of something BAM, the Weekley Standard beats you to it…thanks Mr. McCormack!

Now, this clip has mostly to do with immigration and expecting immigrants to learn English (Obama adds that Americans should expect to begin learning Spanish), but that’s not the part of the clip I want to focus on here. About two-thirds of the way through the clip, Obama starts talking about Americans traveling to Europe and not knowing the native languages, and he says this:

It’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they all speak French, they speak German, and then we go over to Europe (laughter) and all we can say is ‘Merci Beaucoup.’ (Laughter ensues) Right?!”

Here’s the clip:

Now, after all the problems the Obama campaign has had with not being proud of their country, don’t you think Barack would be a little bit more careful with his words? I guess it’s just hard to hide a distaste of the average American when you are an elitist like Barack Obama.It’s quite obvious that John McCain has been, and always will be proud of his country.
