The Utah Senator attacked the President as an out of touch urban elitist today in a speech on energy policy, saying the President put the interests of hipsters ahead of workers.

"President Obama has traded in the hard hat and lunch bucket category of the Democratic Party for the hipster fedora and a double skim latte."

What an idiot Hatch is.

[eShirl]

1. I'm guessing coffee isn't the Official State Beverage of Utah.

But what does he have against hats?

[rfranklin]

2. Didn't you mean to say a "pimp hat" Orrin?

what exactly is he trying to say?

[yellowcanine]

7. I think that is exactly what he meant. Keep digging, Republicans.

[unblock]

3. if obama were really sly he could just say "what's a fedora?"

and with that, obama becomes everyman and hatch is the elitist!

[msongs]

4. hatch recalls the good old days when uppity black people were unwelcome in his church nt

[JDPriestly]

5. I think it will be hard to sell that meme if Romney is the candidate.

And even if it isn't, people just don't see Obama that way.

Not the least because Michelle Obama is such a normal looking woman.

6. their racism eventually leaks out

[Segami]

8. This is just their warmup call.

Their heavily deep-seeded in-your-face hatred will rear its racist head after the rethug's nomination convention. I believe some of those demented haters simply will not rest or accept a democratically elected black President quarterbacking this country for ANOTHER 4 YEARS. So much at stake this coming election.

9. hipsters are cute

and serve the best beer and coffee in town

10. Ugh.....

that old "elitist" speech....... this guy makes my head hurt.

[bigtree]

11. what does this man who has enriched himself through his government job

. . . know about working people? We wear fancy hats from time to time, and sometimes opt for an expensive coffee. For Hatch, that wealth-advantaged lifestyle is all he personally knows. Either he's just bullshitting, or someone else wrote that for him. All Hatch has ever cared about is business and business interests. he can't fool me that he all of the sudden cares about and knows anything at all about the working class.

[lunatica]

12. So says the dandy of Congress

As he purses his lips in slight distaste at what everyone else is wearing.

[Enrique]

13. the hipster fedora part went over my head

I guess I'm not as hip as Orrin Hatch.

14. Hatch is up for re-election this year

He watched the teabaggers in his state dispatch of Bob Bennett in 2010 and he knows he is next. It's remarkable to see how even further to the insane crazy right he has gone, but it's all to save his own hide.

The rethug governor who he endorsed refuses to endorse him:

The Chief of Staff for the one who booted Bennett out feels that he is going to lose:

The sudden departure of Olympia Snow just killed one of his last chances for justifying re-election:

And so what does he do? The comfortable and familiar - juvenile cheap shots at the President.

15. These fucking racists

make me want to puke.
