With history now illuminating the character, along with the disregard of the conventional American values embraced by the common middle class working, Sen. Obama’s showing the voters his prominent weakness as a potential Democrat nominee.

He certainly “talked a good game” in the earlier primaries and caucuses where he massed his to date electorate sum.  But as the recent revelations, just a fraction of his liability of judgments, or lack thereof, honesty and the misleading portrayal that he is the cohesive component to be the “great uniter” of the country have proven that he wouldn’t be where he is currently;  had he been truthful initially.

The Pennsylvania primary resulted with a decisive statement rendered by the citizens, who much reflect the sentiments of that middle of the road, average people which make up the majority of the country.  That no matter what is to be considered as a sure lock of Obama’s candidacy, by the media, among others, representing the Democrats; Pennsylvanians were not to be mistaken for ducks in the Obama row.  I expect much concurrence with Pa. on May 6, 2008, when Indiana and North Carolina weigh in.

Despite the attraction of which Sen. Obama’s initial operation that he was the ambassador of change, the representative of hope and a variety host's of other campaign “slogans”, which incidentally are not novel by any stretch of the imagination, the principal agent, Obama, has been detected and indentified as the facts emerge.

In an effort to obscure the real concerns with a possible nominee, i.e.; the condescension which he, himself expressed with his opinions “about people” in small town America, depicting them as some type of a lesser class who harbor hostilities within their communities. 

A person of integrity would have addressed his point “to those” of whom he was talking about, rather then using his chosen theme of distain, to a select privileged few, “talking of his subjects” in an exclusive San Franciscan dissertation.

There is during the life of an election a time when a voter has to choose their preference and the measure taken in order to feel comfortable with their decision some basic questions are being processed in ones mind.  One such is to ask the person who is seeking the support from the voter is, “is this person like me?”  The question is paramount and is not at all to be misconstrued or manipulated in the simplistic forms i.e., ones race, gender, origin, financial status, social status, etc... The fundamental principal is to be addressed in the thought process is answered by recognizing if the candidate is on the same page as we.

 Maybe something which recently has created a stir in the campaign is the matter of the positions taken on the gas tax holiday.  Obama misses the point entirely, and once again he insults the intelligence of the average working person.  Sen. Clinton comprehend that people are well aware that the “holiday” is small potatoes,  but rather it is a statement in principle, not about weather one saves “x” amount of money.

 Something so simple may not resonate with the elite company of which Obama keeps, but it is not something intended to recreate a new world as we know it. 

It is intended as a gesture, which confirms Sen. Clinton is capable of connecting with Middle America.  Obama can’t or chooses not to engage with those like us.
