I stand by what I said totally. People who cling to things like guns, religion and xenophobia are easy targets for politicians who want to use fear to accomplish their ends. Instead of hope they focus on people’s percieved terrors. I have no doubt that Bush and the republicans used this to get elected and lets face it it was the less educated white evangelicals which let him get his way. And we are all poorer as a nation for it. As for rising to elite status with their own hard work, I challenge everyone reading this to imagine how hard it would be to get to where Obama is now given all the factors which worked against him in his life. He didn’t get there with his name recognition thats for sure (I am looking at you G.W.Bush and Hillary Clinton).
