You certainly must have noticed it. Barack Obama has it. Granted, Michelle doesn't have it, but the others do... Bill, Hillary, Harry, Nancy. It's the way they carry themselves... a certain, misguiding smile and a brief, but distinctive nod of the chin. Michelle never smiles; she's angry at the world. The rest of them consider the country to be their private oysters in a glass full of rare, vintage wine.
They believe that they, and only they, possess the required attributes to run this country, to steer it toward what they consider to be the epitome of world government. And well they should believe that; after all, they have degrees from Harvard, Columbia, Oxford, Yale, George Washington University, Trinity and Princeton. Where did you go... trade school, vocational school, some obscure college out in the midwestern sticks? Maybe you never even graduated from junior college or... gasp... high school! And you have the unmitigated gall to think you could do a better job of running the country than they are?
Sometimes, there's that patronizing wink that accompanies the condescending smile and nod. It's a "Come play along with me for a while and I'll let you in on the details later," kind of wink. The details never come or, if they do, they smell worse than dead fish.
There's a deep divide in this country, and it's damned closed to becoming the Grand Canyon of all times. Something's about to break wide open, and I don't think it's going to be pretty. When it does; it'll be the battle of the snots vs. the real Americans.
Smile, nod, wink wink.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
