"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument do not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared," Obama told the assembled Democrats, who paid $15,200 a person to attend. "And the country is scared."And so who can help deliver us gun-toting, flag waving, religious dupes from our fears? More of the same wealthy elites,
