: TalkLeft"He's Not Running for Sociologist In Chief"

Speaking for me only
On MTP the Press, Bob Shrum said:
[Obama's] not running for sociologist in chief, he's running for president. So I think he wishes he hadn't said it quite this way . . .
Indeed. As I wrote:
Personally, I have never seen a pol say what Obama said. Political scientists, bloggers, intellectuals, ME, yes. But pols? Never. See, pols have a different job - get votes. Obama already has trouble getting white working class votes. This statement certainly does not help him.
Fighting for the "truth" of the statement would be simply bad politics. Obama has expressed his regrets and hopefully, will move on. Maybe his online "creative class" supporters will catch up soon.
