The people that have power in this country are a small tightly-knit highly inter-connected group.

The amusing aspect of this charade is the media's complicity in perpetuating a fraud upon the ignorant masses to persuad them that one cog of the connected networks is more favorable and linked to their concerns.

* Humble origin, his single mom on welfare * African American (I wonder if he's ever been pulled over for DWB. The ratio for black males is pretty high. Even my wife got pulled over!) At least when Obama states he knows what ordinary Americans are dealing with, he can speak with some authority, actual experience. |

The guy doesn't even speak (diction-wise) like a normal human being. If he wants to call himself African-American, that's his business, but that's his personal invention. |

This is all just a rehash of the Obama-the-elitist argument. Weak argument - compared to every other national politician out there, except Palin - Obama is no worse, and better than the silver spoon crowd. Hell, for that matter, Harry Reid.... uh never mind, I'll leave Harry out of this one. lol |

Obama has not had a simple man's life, has not led a common man's life, and is an elitist, just one with whom you are in agreement. IOW, you like most of liberal left are a hypocrite, and fail to recognize it. When a politician is your brand of elitist that's okay, but when he's the other guy's brand, that's not okay. Elitism is a weak criticism, except if a politician is claiming to be "one of us." Then it's appropriate, and Obama is NOT one of us, but one of THEM. Perhaps it's necessary to be one of THEM to succeed, but it's inherently dishonest.
