This is not good news. He ran a campaign promising to represent the whole of America, and all the vastly different people it encompasses. If he continues with such brazen disrespect for political traditions, and for the cares of real, hard-working Americans, I fear Obama may be a one-term president.
Now is the time to be a conciliator and to bring every American into the tent. We cannot afford to turn away regular Americans with snobbery and elitism. And on the political front, he's providing ammunition to Sarah Palin in her quest for the White House in 2012.
