Lots of people are angry because of what Barrack Obama said about small town America. Why? Because it was "Elitest." Now maybe I am just crazy but ina war you would want an elite soldier if you were going to have surgery you would want an Elite docter. So why would you not want an Elite politician? Oh yeah they would be "above" the common man. That is bad right because no president should be above the common man. Wait a minute haven't we carved these guys heads into a mountain if that does not say elite then I do not know what does.
This is the stupidest BS I have heard in a long time. If you actually get close to running for president you are most definitley an elite because it costs a heck of alot to run. Rather then having two presidents who pretend to not be elites like Bush 1 and 2 (both went to Harvard) wouldn't you rather have a president that would honestly tell you that they were from the upper social crust of society as they all are rather then pretending no to be? The other oint is that the Clintons and McCains are both reputable families that are definitley elite while interestingly enough Obama does not fit the criterea of an elite as he would have to come from six generations of wealth. He4 definitley does not. So why doesn't everyone stop complaining about a presidential candidate that acts elite and is and more about a presidential candidate that does not act elite and is elite?

I am a Freshman at UW Madison. I believe in real solutions to real problems. I didn't see the Republicans offering any of them so I a gave the Democrats a chance to do something. I believe both parties are too polarized now to get things done so I think moderates are needed. I am a moderate liberal. I spent months deciding who to support in the presidential election but I finally have decided to vote for Senator Barrack Obama. I love studying world problems, playing tennis, playing video games and now blogging.
