Is it a derogatory that idiots stamp onto educated individuals to make themselves feel better around their drinking buddies? Or perhaps it implies that you think they fancy themselves superior. And since the Obamas have done nothing to suggest this, I can only assume that you call them elitists because you subconsciously believe them to be better. Well our nation clearly agrees with your subconscious since he is our president now and not another one of your drinking buddies. I’ve never really understood the term elitist.

No one's buying this garbage. You should return to talking about Rev. Wright, where at the least, your white-guy credentials grant you some credibility to comment.

If that's an elitist then call me an elitist. Call anybody I would want to be President an elitist. <font color="red">[Editor --- John, it's because he looks down his nose and condecends to those many more who don't come from great homes, aren't well educated, and are not as well spoken that makes him an elitist. It's because he thinks that it's his advanced schoolin' that he's not had to "turn to guns and god" in bitterness --- that's what makes him an elitist. It's his attitude that our country is broken and only HE can save our souls --- that makes him an elitist. His views against capitalism in the face of his extreme wealth earned on the very system he denounces for everybody else --- that makes him an elitist. I don't look on any of these elitist traits with anything but contempt for the man and his ilk.]</font> I like how our country’s war on education has led to someone who comes from a good family, is well-educated, and well-spoken being labeled an “elitist”.
