From Jon Meacham
And what do I mean by real people? Pretty much anybody who is not Glenn Bech or Sarah Palin.
Obama's remark (about the Cambridge police acting stupidly) led Glenn Beck ( to say ) that the President is a racist who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people," remarks that join the 2008 Republican attacks on Obama as a socialist and Rush Limbaugh's 2009 hope that the President fails as example of inflammatory and untimately unhelpful retorical turns.
An enduring truth: people generally want three things---protect my job, let me keep most of my money come tax time, and kill the terrorists before they come back.
