Barack Obama was back on the campaign trail in the run up to the election. And, as he so often does before an adoring crowd, he indulged his penchant for mockery.

Obama ridiculed President Trump’s White House renovations, joking that they looked like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” The crowd roared.

But perhaps Obama revealed more about himself than about the president. To make Trump the target, he made regular Americans the butt of the joke — people who happily patronize Cheesecake Factory on a night out.

Maybe they’re relatives of the “bitter clingers” Obama famously belittled back in 2008.

The remark is revealing of today’s Democratic Party, which once proudly called itself the party of the working person. Bereft of any new or exciting ideas, too many of its leaders now seem to offer little more than cultural condescension and sneering elitism.
