New Yorker-Gate

Understanding nonetheless appreciating satire in a country that awards big money to the dude kicked in the crotch the hardest by his overactive ADHD kid and kudos is awarded to the douche that put it up on you tube is a total pipedream.

Remember Bitter?

Indeed, Obama was relentlessly excoriated by McCain and Hillary for explaining this voting phenomenon. But since Obama dispatched Clinton, he has seemed rather more attuned to what the people want to hear or perhaps he has simply traded the wants of a liberal audience for those of a more moderate one. Either way, he is treading that reliably time-worn path every nominee follows to the political center. Barack knows that his leftist rhetoric during the primaries--no flag pins, opposing guns, etc.--doesn't stand a chance in the general election. Thus, he's now in an all out race to pacify disaffected republicans as well as blue dog, working class, lunch bucket Dems by moving towards the center (i.e., pandering to AIPAC, tacitly supporting supreme courts 5-4 decision on gun ownership, and reversing stance on death penalty).

In brief, he's a politician running for president. I just "hope" that he issues the New Yorker an apology after winning. Regardless of their beliefs, the New Yorker just raised the bar by lowering it.
