Maybe the New Yorker got it right?

Cambridge Massachusetts is a lot like Boulder, Colorado in the sense that it is possibly the most liberal city in Massachusetts. Hence the nick name "the peoples republic of Cambridge", which is akin to "the peoples republic of Boulder". It seems to me that when the Prez starts bashing the Po Po in a city which staunchly supports him, it is like slapping yourself in the face. I just don't get it.
