Obama versus anti-intellectual pandering…

…from Hillary, not McCain so much, at least not yet. I’m no great fan of Obama, but Hillary and Bill are making me so angry. All the stupid lapel-pin and Minister Wright crap, of course, but also the pandering to the lowest denominator à la “W” that we’ve seen in response to Obama’s completely reasonable theory about “guns and religion” as a bitter response to worsening economic position and then her attacks on economists and their support for Obama’s position against the Clinton-McCain gas tax holiday idea. I have this feeling that smart people wouldn’t be so routinely vilified in an Obama administration as they have been in the eight-year Bush nightmare, or possibly as in a possible populist Clinton one.
