John McCain Calls Obama an Elitist

On CNN's Ballot Bowl coverage, they play some footage from earlier this week of McCain calling Obama an elitist. Coming from the guy who left his disfigured wife for a rich woman twenty years his junior who used her family's money to buy his way into politics, this is rich. He doesn't even sound like he believes the talking points he's reciting himself.

McCain and Clinton need to give up this whole "bitter" argument. What Obama stated was that small town America is voting for things like gun rights because Washington it ignoring the issues relevant to them, like jobs leaving the country. That doesn't make him an elitist, it makes him right!

Hey McCain quit living off your wife and get a real job.

So, Barrack Obama is "an out of touch" elitist; so he is not an in-touch elitist like senator John McCain?

[CruxisFire]

They're both elitists.

McCain has 13 cars and 7 houses. And he's calling Obama an elitist?

Blehhh, whatever. Obama won anyways!

I just love it McCain call Obama an elitist, Keating (McCains campaign co-chairman) calls Obama "a guy of the streets".

How can you possibly call Barack Obama an elitest? McCain owns a total of 9 homes (which he didn't even know he owned), his networth is somewhere in the 40 million range, and he's married to a woman who is a chair of Hensley & Co (one of the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributors in the United States). Barack was raised on food stamps, lived in lower class housing, and had to pay for school with student loans and schlorships. I'm not sure if John McCain knows what an "elitist" is.

You can see why a guy like Phil Gramm is still on his staff after making the comments he made. He agrees with the guy no matter what McCain says. How can white blue-collar workers think McCain will help them out? Barack knows their struggles more than McCain ever will. Barack has lived their struggles. McCain has either only heard or read about their struggles.

To McCain and McCain fans. You needs to leave Barack Obama alone on the elitist label. McCain is the real elitist. Both McCain's grandfather and father were admirals in the United States Navy. Talk about being born with a, forget silver, platinum spoon in your mouth.

McCain is the son of an Admiral. Bush the son of a president. Obama is the son of a single mother who, for a time lived on food stamps. Obama understands "tough times".

McCain, if you can apoligize for publically calling your wife a cunt, you can apoligize to Obama. You did apoligize to your wife? If you didn't, it would certainly show a lack of charactor.

i cant stand this guy

HAW HAW HAW!!! McCain wants to criticize Obama for his "out of touch elitism?" Well, uh, not to go all Shakespearean on anybody's ass, but methinks the raven chides blackness.

One thing McCain's dimbulbous comments make abundantly clear though, he thinks he knows who his opponent is going to be in the general election.
