Sure, I'd heard that Barack Obama had made some disdainful comment about people who are bitter and cling to religion and hate people who aren't like themselves. But I didn't think much of it. Then a middle American, working class friend of mine said that he was offended by this remark and he was surprised that I wasn't also.

"Ohhh!" I replied. "Was he talking about us? I thought he was talking about Jeremiah Wright."
