Video: From Concerned to Scared

"People are never more sincere tan when they assume their own superiority." Thomas Sowell,
The Vision of The Anointed

 I'm going to guess the president came dangerously close to being very frank about what he really thinks of the voting public. This is not quite as direct as the bitter clingers off-the-cuff, but it is still telling:


Some interesting inferences:
1) Americans were "thinking clearly" and merely concerned citizens in 2008 when they swept the Mr. 
    Obama into office amid massive disapproval of Bush and Washington politics.

2) 2008 politics were not "tough" like they are now.  Were they "enlightened" then but darkened with
    public ignorance now?

3) When Americans push back against collectivism and assaults on their individual freedom, "facts and science [are] not...winning the day"?
