McCain responds to Obama's elitist remarks

Ron Fournier: Fair and Balanced just like his friends at Fox News

"Nothing stings like being called an elitist by the humble, working-class members of the media and politics," -Stephen Colbert

A man who marries a multi-million dollar heiress with a private jet has no business commenting on whether someone else is an "elitist".

Obama is right on this. The problem is that most people are too stupid to understand his thoughts without explanation. He is NOT saying ignorant people are religious, pro-gun, anti-trade, or anti-gay marriage. He is saying that people are so frustrated with their inability to effect change on larger issues that they begin to vote on niche issues which are not really important and which act to divide us.

"If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."

-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life, making the same argument as Sen. Barack Obama.
