Things that shouldn’t surprise you:

Obama’s pastor says incendiary things.

Remember Falwell, pre-ascension into heaven? Remember Robertson? Hell, if it bothers you that this guy has access to politicians, remember Billy Graham? He’s been an anti-Semite, anti-gay advisor for every president since Truman. At least Obama disowned his, as opposed to bequeathing him to future politicians. It’s in the nature of being a religious demagogue to be insane, and every politician has to act like they are spiritual (read: Christian) if they’re going to get any attention. Obama was unlucky in the crapshoot for a pastor who says absurdly offensive things because he picked a black one, and some forms of racism are simply intolerable.

Anything about the Pennsylvania primary.

Stop acting like it’s a victory to plummet from 25% to <10% in a state that’s overwhelmed with your best demographic (old, uneducated white people). Also, the whole idea about how Obama outspent her in the Penn primary is irrelevant. I would think that she would be more careful to avoid having to explain why he raises money so much more effectively than her.

The economy has gone to hell.

Bush is still in office, and his solution to egregious problems he has caused remains the same: wait til he’s not President any more.

Obama is elite.

Remember when that used to be a good thing? I don’t. I was too young when Bush took office. I thought that being intelligent and capable was making a comeback, at least with democrats, until now, since Hillary condemned career Economists for knowing when an idea was definitively doomed to utter failure.

And now, in a special, preemptive edition of things that shouldn’t surprise you:

Hillary Clinton has denied ever supporting the gas tax.

I know, it hasn’t happened yet, but just you wait. The same thing happened with NAFTA before the Ohio primary, her support for the war, NCLB, and whatever that situation in Bosnia was where she won a purple heart.
