Barack Obama and his supporters sicken me, and hopefully many others, by saying everyone deflects away from the issues. For over 17 months he has yet to outline a single plan , except to dangle "catch Phrases" in front of clueless young voters.

His entire career has been playing cards with entire deck being comprised of race cards. He attempts to hide his actions along with his "trusted" spiritual adviser.

People say he's the new politician , but what comes out of his mouth and what he does are diametrically opposed. Not to mention his past. Rezko , Rev.Wright, his not proud wife.. People in this country elected Bush because he was the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with. We got what we asked for. Now we have a chance to elect an educated, half-black man. Does that give you goose flesh or what?

The future of our country, and probably the planet, hinge on the outcome of this election.

Like the only people criticizing Obambi are the uneducated...

I could plausibly argue that the ones supporting the Obamamessiah are the propagandized, not the educated.

FWIW...

I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.

I was graduated from the university eons ago at a time when a high school diploma was the equivalent of a BS today.

When elitist jackasses attempt to insult the right wingers (me, hopefully you) in this nation by suggesting we're uneducated, it only points out the embarassing fact that their education has been larded up with absolutely all non-essentials.

If politically correct science can come up with a text book, it will be taught.

The left doesn’t understand it, because it’s part of their worldview.

It’s not about how rich or how educated someone is that makes them elitist.

It’s about their attitude towards others. That somehow, they “know better”, or can possibly have more knowledge about the situations that people are in than sumation of the knowledge the millions of people that are actually IN those situations.

They think that they, from their ivory tower, can make more informed decisions than the individuals in the situations requiring the decisions.

“We have also seen Americans reinvigorated, surging with a refreshing patriotism that is fully aware of the country’s shortcomings.” What planet is this guy from? Oh, yea, New York.

One of the reasons that people like Obama succeed in this country is that the American public appears to be and behaves as though it’s completely incapable of seperating the Propaganda of the Liberal Media outlets from the true facts of a situation. This article is typical of how the Liberal Elites in the media will package the Obama campaign; they will ignore the facts of Obama, i.e. that he’s a big “S” Socialist and likely a racist as well. If Americans elect this guy, they will have openned the door to unbridled wealth redistribution aimed at relieving the middle class and the upper middle income groups, (not the wealthy, they can’t be hurt because they’ll just leave), from their property and any savings they might have managed to accumulate. And that will then be redistributed, (badly) to the PCP’s, i.e. the Politically Correct Protected Entitlement groups. Worse, by raising taxes on dividends to 40%, they seek to insure that Joe Average white guy will never be able to retire, to otherwise “withdraw” quietly from the system, but rather, will require he toil away endlessly, feeding the evil, corrupt government.

The writer’s idea of “educated” is indoctrination to Communism. And now science is infiltrated by an insane insistence that evolution has more than a passing importance in “hard” science, something most Communists find not just “hard”, but impossible.

Once again, Obama isn’t criticized for being one of the elite, he is criticized for being elitist. Big difference.

Real leadership is something internal, not superficial, and should be judged by substance, policy and solutions that are empathetic but realistic, inventive, fiscally responsible and feasible. No one knows the taste of pie in the sky, but we have all felt and smelled the putrid humidity of hot air.

And he still supports Obama. Amazing.

This article is undistilled BS. An uneducated underclass is mandatory for elitists like Hussein to maintain their positions.

It's Obamaesque elitist LW policies that have lead to inner city 40% high school drop out rates.

I think it’s a signal about how great America is, where else can a Black Kid raised by a single mother become an elitist?

That’s Social Mobility in the USA for you that the Europeans can only dream about.

Elite is an attitude,, not an education level. Obama is definitely an elitest - he believes that he, and only he, can make failed policies from the past work because he, and only he, is able to make people believe.

It's too bad that he's also an educated, smooth talking (when scripted, photogenic idiot.
