It's cast in bronze: Obama rejects who we are

It is still a stinging welt, the day-after effect of a nasty wasp sting. That would be the now-infamous remark from Barack Obama:
“If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

Everyone who was offended and stunned into disbelief is still talking and writing about it. The sting was that strong. And they are doing so because it was, well, the coup de grace.

It once and for all cast in bronze and defined Obama the way believers in American exceptionalism have viewed Obama since his election in 2008. We've been accused of being un-American for saying so, but Obama defined himself with those remarks as, well, un-American.
