It’s funny, and I confess to often having similar thoughts.

But I think that it is actually the Cheney’s and Rove’s, the hard core of the republican party that actually see Americans that way: as mindless gullible slobs that need to governed by their betters.

It will be interesting to see things play out … will the Americans stick the guy that has faith in them and thinks they can do better but looks elite? Or will they go back to the real elitists that slather on the praise but have no expectations of the masses except that they quietly submit in return for empty praise.

Self respect vs laziness. Laziness may win out.
