The “Elitist” Charge—
—was loaded from the start with TriNitroToluene, dynamite, and gunpowder in large volume with a short fuse lit by some commentators and critics I have heard and should, by now, have EXPLODED the Clinton and McCain campaigns. How could those two, most elite candidates have ever had just one cell of their brains conceive of such a curse on Obama? And then to think that a number of critics and so-called pundits yupped and yipped the charge that issued from the desperate mouth of Hillary!!!
On the whole, the elitism charge has been turned back on the multi-millionaires McCain and Clinton.
We have the patriotism, race, gender, elitism, media, style, super-delegate, electoral college, popular vote, elected delegates, authenticity, guns and religion, John McCain, Bill Clinton, (any more?) problems.
What about the real issues?
The issue problems have been hijacked by irrelevancies. This party is not the “Democratic Party”. It is the “Democrat” Party, in back-alley cat fights. Hear the yowling in the dark? Fix the blame for that! I have!
Maybe there should have been other people if those people can’t get a good issue campaign on the road. People who vote for Democrats have passed up the two most mature and intelligent and knowledgeable leaders of stature and presence, two powerful men, A.G. and J.B. They are world class leaders. Obama, if elected, will pass the first test of his maturity as a presidential leader if he puts A.G. and J.B. in prominent cabinet positions.
There is an “elitism” of intellect and knowledge and competency beyond markers related to wealth and social position. Those two have it. The safety of the U.S. and the world should be in the hands of such people. We should be so lucky. I am betting Barack Obama has what it takes. I will bet on intellect any day.
