"It's conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, 'This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,'" Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.
Okay, I'm not even going to comment on the fact that he "understands" why Hamas has thrown the terrorist support his way. Just note how he speaks of himself in the third person and sees himself more "worldly" than the rest of us. But calling him elitist is just a distraction.
