Yes, it is elite with all its isms. Anyway elitist is what Obama is. If you care to, I have a couple examples on my blog of his particular media spinning attempts of being ‘of the people’ and rising above.

Were those actions the problem in themselves – okay. No. There is more. Last time I checked, we are Americans. This is not supposed to be seen as a land of dictators. Yet, Obama looks, publically speaking, like he’s going for such a postion.

This person, Obama, should be progressive. He should be adding to Clinton’s public persona, not stepping back about…100 years. For crying out loud, recently he had won some wonderful thing, I think the nomination numbers. He almost forgot to reach for his wife’s hand and hold it into the air. Like, ‘here we are guys! Oh yeah, Michelle, you too.’

Obama needs to go to some weekend event for elite men, find a guru and work, work, work to improve his attitudes.
