Dems conceit for the masses.

Here’s Charles Krauthammer on how the liberal masses have reacted to their lost Senate seat in Massachusetts:

Liberal expressions of disdain for the intelligence and emotional maturity of the electorate have been, post-Massachusetts, remarkably unguarded. New York Times columnist Charles Blow chided Obama for not understanding the necessity of speaking “in the plain words of plain folks,” because the people are “suspicious of complexity.” Counseled Blow: “The next time he gives a speech, someone should tap him on the ankle and say, ‘Mr. President, we’re down here.’”

A Time magazine blogger was even more blunt about the ankle-dwelling mob, explaining that we are “a nation of dodos” that is “too dumb to thrive.”

Obama joined the parade in the State of the Union address when, with supercilious modesty, he chided himself “for not explaining it (health care) more clearly to the American people.” The subject, he noted, was “complex.” The subject, it might also be noted, was one to which the master of complexity had devoted 29 speeches. Perhaps he did not speak slowly enough.

On the contrary, after 29 healthcare speeches by The Great One, and perpetual 24-hour cable news puppets reciting the promises of socialized medicine, the American people understand enough — and they’re not too keen on waiting months for MRIs, CTs or specialists needed to fight life-threatening illnesses. That’s not “free” health care. That’s rationing.
