I just can't understand the fuss on this comment. I could see if folks might be offended that Obama is belittling God (or guns), though I think his record as a man of faith is pretty spotless. I don't see how people could be offended that he said some people are bitter. Hell, *I'm* bitter, and I still have a job.
I knew something was wrong with this portrayal of Obama as elitist. Thanks for spelling it out.
John Stewart of the Daily Show had a very interesting comment about this very topic. Something about being the President should be an Elitist. He should be a hell of a lot smarter than you and I and everyone around him. He should have the ability to think for himself and knowledge and faith in his own abilities... and why is it so bad to be an Elitist?
Doesn't "Elite" mean the best? Shouldn't a society be led by the best of society?
No, of course not... it is much better to be led by a bumbling idiot taking cues from every military-industrial-energy company that started his career by running not 1 but 2 companies into bankruptcy and then trading the best player on the team he managed away...
my rant is over...
Give me the Elitist any day!
The Liberal as Elitist Snob is such a tired meme, I'm still surprised that members of the media still fall for this crap. And, unfortunately, it resonates with people!
For some reason, the majority of this country would rather buy into the myth of the Regular Guy instead of the Guy Who Actually Knows What the Frak is Going On.
Who do you want running this country? (inhale, Ding, inhale.)
I agree completely and said this back when Al Gore ran, John Kerry ran and other smart people ran for president. Smart people with bona fides are preferable over some dorkus who can bowl.
It's true for dating and it's true for the Presidency.
