Has Juan McCain apologized as yet? He seems to be apologizing for all kinds of reasons - why not this one too?

Don’t mess with the messiah, Danny. That’s taboo.

Sen. Daniel Inouye has apologized for suggesting that Sen. Barack Obama's private high school in Hawaii was elitist.

Punahou, located in Honolulu, is one of the island's most prestigious private schools.

Sounds kinda elite to me.

Did Inouye apologize for Obama's middle name, too?

Obama responded to Inouye's comments in an interview with KITV the Saturday before the caucuses.

"Shame on Danny for trying to pull that stunt," Obama said. "I went to Punahou on a scholarship. I was raised by a single mom and my grandmother."

Though shalt not take the name of our lord Obama in vain. Obama Akbar!

It is elitist. I wonder how he afforded it. It is like going to LaJolla Country Day school..or Cathedral in DC.
It is for the rich. How was he rich?

My high school chemistry teacher used to teach at Punahou. He made the kids work, so they apparently got him fired. He was always grumbling about “those punks at Punahou” and the time frame is about right, so maybe Obama was one of his students? ;)

It probably undermined Obama’s claim to “blackness” since his school “wasn’t for the impoverished”. The public absence of his white maternal grandparents who paid for all that is also a major “race play” on his part.

Yeah, McCain sucks, but how about those Democrats who gotta choose between “an empty suit” and a VERY FULL pantsuit?

Obama would describe his grandparents, the people who raised him, as “white folk.”

Hmm ... Maybe dipping into the same fund that paid for Bill Clinton's jaunt to the Soviet Union?

I remember someone I knew who lived in Hawaii (during the late 50’s or early 60’s) telling me about their school system that, at that time, segregated kids to various schools based on their performance and how one kid brightly boasted, “I’m the smartest kid in the dumbest school!”

If McCain can be convinced that Obama is a conservative, he'll kick his butt.

his white maternal grandparents who paid for : his education, fed him, clothed him, roof over his head...otherwise he might have been raised in an Arab Muslim orphanage.
