I, for one, am not shocked at all. His public statements have all hinted at this. The brazen speech he gave at the NAACP was the red flag. He is a rich man who does not consort with anyone who is not rich. He is a Mormon man, used to not being questioned, used to dictating things, used to never having to apologize for his actions. He simple does not know what it means to be an average American. At all.

What will bother me, when President Obama wins in November, is the margin. If it’s still close, that means far too many of our fellow Americans actually support such a man, despite this evidence. It means we are a nation as far apart now as we were at the brink of The Civil War.
