Obama vs. McCain: Who is the elitist?

Expect Camp McCain to continue to paint Obama as elitist and out of touch throughout the next six months–today throwing his judicial philosophy in with his “bitter” and “cling” comments, arugula references and opposition to a gas tax holiday.

McCain said today:

  • “Somehow, by Senator Obama’s standard, even Judge Roberts didn’t measure up. And neither did Justice Samuel Alito. Apparently, nobody quite fits the bill except for an elite group of activist judges, lawyers, and law professors who think they know wisdom when they see it — and they see it only in each other.”

But Obama–who has had a problem appealing to white middle class voters in recent Democratic primaries (being called the “Bubba Gap”)–had his own push back for McCain on ABC’s Nightline Monday night:

  • “My upbringing was much more reflective of what working class black and whites go through than John McCain’s background being raised as the son of an admiral in boarding schools.”

I’m lovin’ it. Obama is totally a snobby elitist. He is soooo smart and refined. Oh, and did I mention he is very eloquent. And he is really prissy too. Obama is a typical elitist man: A woman in pants.

Obama’s just another liberal upstart who thinks he can solve everyone else’s problems because he is a rich lawyer with an Ivy League education. He is the kind of pseudo-intellectual you will find hanging out in any philosophy or law departments breakroom at most universities.

McCain needs to keep pushing this button because it is 100% correct and Americans don’t like snobby elitists.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Attending an elite school in Hawaii as a child, then school in Indonesia, then Columbia and Harvard Universities isn’t what most “working class black and whites go through” either Senator Obama. McCain is referring to Obama’s “liberal elitism” not Obama’s financial status.

 
Comment by Tel...

Michelle Obama at an appearance at UCLA recently said America has a “broken soul” and only her husband can fix it. Coupled with Obama’s determination of rural Americans in front of a San Francisco 2 to 3 thousand dollar a plate fundraiser, as clinging to “guns, God and racism” because they’re unemployed drips with elitist condescencion.

Liberal Elitism to a fault.

 
Comment by Shaquannah

This is a prelude to the pounding Obama will take in the general campaign. He’ll be forced to reveal his policy agenda (finally), and it’ll go down hill from there.

McCain in a landslide. Might even get the Senate back in GOP hands.

This will give the conservative base 4 years to re-group in preparation for 2012.

I don’t think Obama understands what Elitism means. This guy is suppose to so smart, why would he listen to Rev. Whacko for 20 years. Maybe i’m missing something.

 
Comment by OBAMA WINS

HILLARY CLINTON : 110 MILLION DOLLARS MADE

jOHN mCCAIN : 200 MILLION DOLLARS MADE

BARACK OBAMA 1.5 MILLION MADE–MOSTLY BY BOOK INCOME…

QUESTION: WHO ARE THE REAL ELITISTS HERE?

OBAMA : TRUTH IN POLITICS

 
Comment by OBAMA WINS

How obvious does it have to be to that Hillary is saying anything, promising everything, and doing nothing - so she can try to win over anyone who would listen to her inflated ambiguous lying.

this women has no shame . Her polItical philosophy is no worse than WHAT saddam used when he was in defeat — using the “scorched earth” /politics policy.

She is burning the democratic party by staying in the race- when we as a nation should be unifying under Barack Obama.

 
Comment by OBAMA WINS

More biased comments by the biased media…why arent we surprised??

Obama ‘08

Obama: more votes, more delegates, more states.

WHY HASN’T THERE BEEN A MENTION OF HILARY CLINTON’S UPCOMING CAMPAIGN FRAUD TRIAL THIS YEAR?
IF WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE BE GUILTY OF ASSOCIATIONS, THEN THE CLINTONS TOP THE LIST – MARC RICH, HSU, PETER PAUL ETC ETC…HOLD HILLARY TO THE SAME GUILT BY ASSOCIATION AND STOP THE BIASED MEDIA COVERAGE IN AMERICA.

So why do the biased media outlets portray hillary as having a chance when it’s statistically impossible-bar a total collapse by obama whi is highly unlikely?

Time to step aside Ms. Clinton. America has made it’s choice for change- Barack Obama.

 
Comment by Shaquannah

OBAMA WINS -

Elitism is not about money. It’s a political ideology.

Obama cannot win. He attracts about 20% of the general population. Such number do not support winning the electoral college.

Conservatism will prevail.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As it’s obvious that Obama’s is doing the same.

Obama said he was born after his parents met at Selma, that was in 1965. They actually met in Hawaii in college and he was born in 1961.

Obama said his father was brought to America as a result of John Kennedy’s policies. Obama’s father was in Hawaii 2 years before Kennedy was president.

Obama uncoupled Wright last week for what actually was Wright reiterating what Obama heard on the tapes (if Obama’s to be believed he never this prior)2 months ago. “Being a politician” as Wright suggested.

Obama confirms he’ll raise capital gains taxes to 28% (nearly double it’s current rate) contrary to historical evidence that lower rates raise government revenue. Obama has no explanation other than “it’s not fair”.

I can go on…I think you’ve read enough to determine Obama will say and do anything to get elected.

I knw your god I mean your candidate “Obama” has fool a lot of people with his lies, but he’s not fooling anybody well maybe you, because he actually made for 24 million dollars last year, so next time you wanna blog don’t sip too hard on your kool aid.

Shame on you, McCain……Hilary also voted against him……Why did he not call her an elitist?

It is so one-sided, I will vote for Obama just to flip his lid.

 
Comment by AMERICA IS ASLEEP.

WHY DO SO MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT PULLING YOURSELF UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS, MAKING YOURSELF THE BEST YOU CAN BE, AND GETTING THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE IS ELITIST? YOU GUYS SEEM BITTER, AND DISAPPOINTED AT YOUR OWN FAILINGS.

 
Comment by gasdocpol

McCain’s father was a 4 star admiral and his mother is an oil heiress and was called “The Auntie Mame of Navy Wives”

McCain was a raunchy party boy in the Navy

Obama’s mother was a single parent from humble beginnings. Obama went to elite schools on his own merit.

Obama is smart well informed and cool headed.

McCain is a superstitious, uninformed, hot tempered, compulsive gambler.

This class warfare is wearing me out. But then again, the left has proven the utility of appealing to pacifists, socialists, and the poorly educated.

Obama is a user he uses black people like rev wright to get his fot him once he finds a bigger meal, well college kids and blacks will join Wright saying well he’s a politician and he does what politicians do. You people, what are you smoking.

 
Comment by Southern view

Last time I read Obama’s biography, that was this morning on Biography.com, he went to a prestigious private school in Hawaii from the age of 10 and then on to Occidental College in LA from whence to Columbia University in New York and Harvard Law School. Obama’s parents were both scholars. His father was a Ph.D. His mother, an Anthropologist. He grew up with his middle class grandparents in Hawaii.

So, where is the “working class” part? I couldn’t find it. I think he made it up.

 
Comment by Celecia

I’m voting for either Obama or Hillary, and here are my Top 5 reasons why:

1) I want to pay more taxes and higher taxes.

2) I want the government to enact legislation that absolves me from the personal responsibilities associated with making my own way in life.

3) I want other people to pay for my misfortunes.

4) I want a global strategy of passivist isolationism and appeasement that will lead, ultimately, to a world war scenario as was the case with the presidencies of Woodrow Wilson (D), and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D).

5) I want to continue with the energy strategy of buying from openly hostile government, thereby unnecessarily increasing the cost of fuels and transportation, so goods and services cost more for the end user. As a bonus, select areas of America will remain pristine and undisturbed for the jet-set crowd to enjoy.

america asleep,

i believe americans have done the best that they could…..and that’s a generalization. we as people are dissappointed by our failures, that’s human, and blaming somelse is usualy a lame excuse. so your generalization i think is innaccurate.

look at mccain….he pulled himself up by the bootstraps after being tortured and imprisoned for 5.5 yrs. how many other amerrican vietnam vets turned to drugs and alcohol after the war and are barely limping by nursing their war experiences?

as far as strength of character, mccain is in a league of his own. no one has come so far as mccain. and i think if you ask him, he would probably say something to the affect that this is the american dream. barack has capitalized on it and so has middle class hillary.

but no one has climbing the ladder like mccain, who came from dying in a rotten prison to senator and soon hopefully our next president. God willing.

If anyone wants to see first hand, the damage inflicted by perpetual re-election of a black liberal democrat, come to Sumter South Carolina.

James E. Clyburn (D-SC) enjoys a constituency of 47% black in the 6th District.

Here’s what we get from this illustrious man’s representation: Per capita Black on black crime rate on par with Detroit/DC, 55% HS drop out rate, and a median household income of $35,000.

And the Obama acolytes think this party is capable of a wholesale overhaul of health care?

OMG!!!

Comment by Kahuna

I live in SD, one of the last states to get a say in this “election”. I would consider myself an Independant, although I do have strong conservative views on many subjects, but I do not limit myself to only voting for one party (yes I have voted for canidates from both parties in the past). I retired from the USAF last fall after PROUDLY serving for over 20 years so I don’t want to hear any comments about not knowing what the troops are going through.

I have been reading these posts for awhile now and have kept to myself, but after seeing an ad on TV last night I felt I should let other know what Sen O is trying with my state. I don’t think either Dem would be giving us in SD a second thought if they didn’t need us now. Anyway what I thought was really interesting is at the end of Sen O’s ad he is urging us to vote early, I wonder why? Is he afraid we will find out more about his problematic past? I don’t care for either Dem, Obama is a racist and Clinton is full of bs.

I will be voting for McCain this year, he is not my first choice (Rudy was my horse), but he is most definetly more presidential than either Dem. This is not a “lesser of three evils” vote like I have seen posted here, but a wise educated vote that is for keeping our country strong.

I wish everyone in the country could see what voting either O or C into office would do to our country, but so many people have blinders on. They both talk the talk but neither can walk the walk.

Please vote with your head not your heart.
God bless America and our troops

 
Comment by Louis

Barack and Michelle Obama are self-made success stories who have earned their accomplishments only through hard work and perserverence. To call them elitist is the height of absurdity. Republicans criticize their Ivy League education as if it is something negative–funny how they forget that Bush Sr. and son both went to Yale and that George W has a fortune from his daddy’s oil business. The Obamas have earned everything they have made. McCain married into wealth–his wife is worth 100 million because her daddy has a beer distributorship. Now let’s talk about who is the elite.

Comment by Marc

I’m a typical poorly educated black guy, because I decided to be one.

I am unable to help myself, so I spout ridiculous things that cannot be supported by facts or empirical evidence.

I am perpetually trapped in my own paradigm, where I’m comfortable. I am not interested in exchanging ideas. I only want to vent and be heard. I have no inclination to learn or otherwise consider other people’s points of view.

I am a typical big mouth black guy like the Obamas and their ilk.

I am a parasite feeding off others who have worked hard to achieved things for which I am unwilling to take the risk.

Comment by Shaquannah

Louis -

Elitism is not, I repeat, NOT an economic term. It refers to a political ideology; more specifically a socialist ideology.

It goes to the belief that government should control industry, education, and economy. It is the exact opposite of traditional Americanism.

Comment by Kris1908

IF A PASTOR IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY THEY KEEP!
When the Rev. William Procanick put his hand on the Bible during his
sex-abuse trial in Oneida County Court earlier this year, he swore to
tell the whole truth And nothing but the truth. But as the former
Clinton Pastor was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for
Inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl at his Home last March, Judge
Michael L. Dwyer said Procanick Sacrificed his honesty the day he
testified.
Okay, so now that Bill and Hillary Clinton’s pastor Has been convicted
of child molestation, will we see the Same furor directed at Hillary
that Obama has had to Endure these last few weeks?
IF A CANDIDATE IS KNOWN BY THE PASTOR THEY KEEP …..
Here the CLINTON’S Pastor is convicted of child Molestation. So, if Obama bears
the guilt for his pastor’s comment; then Hillary has to be equally
tainted by this man’s crime.

I expect to be hearing about this on your network although I do realize that you hate Obama.

Comment by Mike

I have read most of the post and the main reason for that is to see how one would react to a statement Obama made. As you will see many have completely overlooked at the point Obama was trying to prove and most of you went back to attacking Obama and his Judgment. One thing I may add to those who question his judgment, are you really suggesting stating that Rev. Wright out weighs the WAR we are in. His judgment is questionable but when Clinton and McCain made one of the worst decisions in our History its ok, Sad (that in itself shows the double standard). I actually heard the comments both of the pastors who Endorsed McCain has said and it’s pretty offensive and divisive. I just wonder if they endorsed Obama and he accepted, how the media would run this like a chicken with its head cut off. The funny thing about the Rev. Wright Situation, Farrakhan, Ayers, the Elitist statement (which was taken out of context by the media and has a lot of truth to it) and etc, is that they are proving the very point many people were so offended by. I’m sure you remember When Clinton/McCain called the man who recently paid off his college loan an Elitist because of a statement he made that had a lot of truth to it, “Clinging to religion, gay marriage, guns and etc instead of the real issues which we are deeply hurting by NOW. Are you kidding me people or are you that afraid to see a black man in power, seriously because I don’t know how to take it anymore, someone please explain how Obama is an Elitist compared to McCain and Hillary. Hillary was born with a silver spoon not going to mention the school she attended or being worth well over $100 million, yeah I guess she really knows what it is like to struggle growing up. How can she be more in touch than someone who has been working in the very communities that are hurting and losing jobs for the last 20yrs and plus the man grew up with a single mother and his grandparents, for goodness sake his mother was on welfare at one point. McCain, this is the man who came out and said the American people are doing ok, who is he talking about? Not me or average Americans. This is a man that wants to continue Bush’s tax cuts, how can that be in touch? His wife is worth well over $100 million as well and he has a private jet, how in the world is someone that has a private jet going to understand your struggle. Obama just hit millions after selling his books and this was recent not the last 10 or even 20 years. Look at what they are using to bring this man down exactly what he said they would. Right now many people in this Blog are clinging to something other than the real issues..DUHHHH, to me it shows how blind, close minded and ignorant we can be. I believe that Obama is our modern day Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr….I will end by saying this Bill and Hillary Clinton can’t even beat this guy together, they are covering twice the amount of ground he has to and not to mention the deep roots the Clintons have, how in the world do you think McCain will have a chance unless Obama is wrong for believing in the American people and how far we have come. Fear will take over your emotions (which have been very evident) but the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE AS DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR HAS PROVEN.

For those that want to reply please do so after looking at the entire message don’t just pick out a sentence, because you will miss what I am trying to prove. Also, There will never be a perfect African American or person period running for president so judge all three canidates the same because Hillary and McCain have far more flaws being overlooked. I guess the white gives you the green pass, this is just my opinion based on how this election has been going so far.

————————————————————————
I would disagree with that, Hillary touches on more subjects than Obama, for example, she is committed too. and has spoken about fixing the no child left behind laws, which I am sure many of you know nothing about, but is very important to all our childrens education, not just those with special needs, I have not heard the other candidates even mention it.

also even if they were exactly the same, we would then base on trust and character, suggesting sex or race is pretty lame.

Comment by Haley Rodman Clemson

“Barack and Michelle Obama are self-made success stories who have earned their accomplishments only through hard work and perserverence.

Is it also safe to say that affirmative action helped as well? How about the fact that Michelle Obama’s parents were well off? Barack’s mom was educated, did she ever help him out financially? Were they rich before or after Barack hooked up with Rezko and Wright and started his political career? Right, they weren’t wealthy until Obama got elected to the Illinois Senate. Funny how that works.

“To call them elitist is the height of absurdity.”

You don’t have to grow up wealthy and priveleged to become a snob. Barack has been the top acolyte of the Chicago political machine for quite some time. Michelle’s salary as a hospital administrator went through the roof after he became a US senator and all of the sudden they had lots of money and noteriety. It went to their heads and they really are pretty disconnected from real Amercans.

________________________________________________________

You are right, it was not the right thing to say but i was trying to state that from the way the election have been going so far, it seems that the Hillary and McCain have been getting the green pass on many flaws that are just as bad or even worse than the ones being used against Obama. Look at even How Rev. wright has been treated vs. Hagee. I dont agree with what right says but come on what hagee said is extremely offensive. Quite frankly the media has done what so far or even the association McCain has with him.
