Obama as elite?

[rurallib]

I cannot fathom how ill informed one must be to believe the crapola that the M$M peddles about Obama being elite. You all know the story - mostly raised by a single mother and her parents. Worked hard to get a good education and came out of college with a large debt. Passed up chances at prestigious law firms to work among poor people. That sure doesn't sound elitist to me.
McCain on the other hand. Son and grandson of admirals who greased his path to Annapolis and in the Navy. True he was a POW. But his whole life he has seldom had to take the true consequences of his mistakes. Dumped family #1 to whore around and finally end up marrying a rich heiress.

1. The MSM was just spouting that crap because Clinton and her wolves

threw it out there. They wanted her to win.

2. Only in Redneck NASCAR America does intelligence, class, dignity, and manners

equal being "elitist". So tired of having to pander to the bottom-feeders of the electorate.

4. Seriously. I just remember when I was a kid and thought the President had to be the most brilliant

person alive. Now, it seems we are just looking for the Average Joe to run the country.

7. This is what the GOP and the media have done to our country--they've convinced

America that people who are smarter than you, and have a higher level of education than you, and have better judgment and impulses than you, are to be mocked and derided. Sick and twisted.

3. translation in Clinton speak: "Uppity"

They're using "elite" but they're meaning UPPITY. It's really, really sorry of them, and I do not forgive this indiscretion.

5. yeah, but he's smart

and we can't have that in a President, and what about his bowling? How is America gonna compete against team Al Queda? You know Bin Laden has a 173 average. In Muslim culture they just don't respect you unless you bowl and drink beer. Or is that the Ozark Mountain culture? I get those two confused sometimes.

6. Rush explained it the other day

Elitism has nothing to do with wealth, he said, but with how many books you read (he said intellectuals). This is similar to Begala's disgusting comments last night, which he was rightfully smacked for by Donna Brazille. He said Obama can't win with just the "African American" and intellectual vote. He used another, more pejorative word for intellectual which I can't recall at the moment.

8. "Egghead". As if Hillary ISN'T an egghead. Jesus--the marketing and spin is unbelievable.

[boobooday]

10. That's it! EGGHEADS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS

I just about went through the roof.

[hfojvt]

9. because darn it all, if you read too much or study math and science

you might be able to figure out that the Bush tax cuts that Rush promotes and the Reagan tax cuts benefit Rush Limbaugh way more than they benefit you and that there's no such thing as a "death tax".

11. If he's an elite, then an elite is what we

need for a president! I'm tired of the "non" elite dumbass in the white house now.
