take a look at Roger there, and then read this article calling him an elitist. I laughed my head off, I mean WOW.

I know Obama is right because I know exactly how I feel. I’m bitter. I’m mad my parents had to leave town to find new work, leaving behind their friends, and my family. I’m bitter that my friends at the refinery I worked in were too old and unready to find new good paying work after the plant shut down. I’m bitter about a whole hell of a lot and McCain and Hillary won’t address my reality.

…and yet they want to tap into the ‘change’ rhetoric? Are you effing kidding me?

Only an actual elitist is not bitter and angry about gas prices, and keeping their job. Maybe Roger can afford not to worry, but I can’t. I point the finger back in your direction.
