Wealthy GOP donors "couldn't live with Sarah Palin," voted for Obama instead

From Pundit and Pundette.

Several of them said: I’m Republican but I voted for President Obama, because I couldn’t live with Sarah Palin. Many said they were severely disappointed in the president. The biggest complaint was what several called “class warfare.” They said they didn’t understand what they had done to deserve that: If you want to have a conversation about taxation, have a conversation. But a president shouldn’t attack his constituents – he’s not the president of some people, he’s president of all the people. Someone mentioned Huey Long populism.

Cry me a river. They looked at Obama's Harvard law degree and that sharp pant crease and thought he was one of them, or at least more so than that uncredentialed piece of Wasilla trash, with all her vulgar "you betchas" and excessive children, including that embarrassing baby she doted on. And these snobs, instead of apologizing for contributing to the downfall of America, have the nerve to complain about "class warfare."

I have a wealthy friend who told me that he voted for Obama because he could not vote for Palin.

After many years of observation I realize that wealth (of the earned kind) is not the result of wisdom. Instead, it's most often the result of very hard work, a bit of luck, the willingness to take risks, and the monomaniacal devotion to a single idea.  But like the academic genius, it often means that they are foolish outside the area of their focus and expertise.  In fact. because they are so focused on their one big idea, they are often less wise than average about other things.
