Forgive Them, Messiah, For They Know Not What They Do
We can’t all be as smart as Andrea Mitchell:
Andrea Mitchell has suggested that the problem Pres. Obama is facing in selling his health care plan to Americans who already have coverage is that people “may not know what’s good for them.”
Mitchell made her condescending comment on today’s Morning Joe.
You’ve got 47% of the people in our NBC/Wall Street Journal opinion poll who have health insurance who don’t like what the president is doing. The problem he’s got — 47% of the people who’ve got coverage don’t want change. They don’t like what they’re hearing. Now, they may not know what’s good for them, but the problem is that he always knew he was going to have to persuade people with insurance, that’s the largest number, not the people without insurance, for expanded coverage. So they’ve got a real problem.
Condescension seems to be in the MSNBC air. Yesterday, we noted Chris Matthews, surprised that Sgt. James Crowley could handle a press conference, calling him “our Susan Boyle.”
Well, you can’t expect President Obama to bother with the small details. He’s got other people for that.

“Our Susan Boyle”? Somehow I missed that. Is Chris Matthews the snottiest man in America?

Don’t know what’s good for them? Gee, someone could get elected that way, too.
