Sorry, but I've been reading and listening to Senator Obama starting before he was Senator Obama and I find it amazing that he's being characterized as elitist. Smart? You bet.
Well-educated? Extremely.
Accomplished? Attentive? Thoughtful? Eloquent? Visionary? Yep; all that.
But elitist? I just can't find it.
i totally agree jim
ReplyDeletegiven his narrative, and that of his wife, it is just absurd
like arguing mccain is a pacifist
did you hear Jon Stewart's comment? something close to this: "Not only do I WANT an elitist president, I want one who is EMBARRASSINGLY superior to me."
ReplyDeletei did hear the Stewart line; fantastic! We need a president who reads and hears with comprehension. expertise in Constitutional law is, as they say in job descriptions, a plus.
ReplyDeletei don't care if he can bowl. i don't even care that he shoots hoops. i care that he behaves wisely when it counts.
