Do you morons not understand what people are talking about when they call someone "elitist"? They aren't talking about how much money a person has. They are talking about a condescending attitude towards other people. You can be a billionaire and still not look down upon others as unsophisticated and below you.The best example of elitism is Obama's infamous comments about people in Pennsylvania when he didn't know he was being recorded. The whole idea that people there cling to their guns and God because they are bitter and don't know any better is the definition of condescension. Someone needs to tell Obama that the reason those people cling to religion is because they actually hold sincere religious beliefs, and they cling to guns because it is part of their way of life, a constitutionally guaranteed right. Another example of elitism is the media obsession with portraying Governor Palin as a hick and a rube just because she comes from the state of Alaska. Apparently, Alaska is not cosmopolitan enough to produce someone worthy of being vice president.Those types of comments are really going to hurt Democrats with working class voters in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. And the Democrats are too dumb to realize it, which is why they always lose elections.

He was on a fucking radio show. He knew he was being recorded. What he said was true. Many Americans lost their jobs, now their bitter, and they cling to their guns and religion. That's the fucking truth! You yourself cling to religion and guns! That's what religion is, a crutch. That's what guns are, a crutch. You don't need either, but you find them comforting. What he said was true.

Obama was at a fundraiser in San Francisco and he didn't know he was being taped when he made that comment.Seriously man, you are wrong about everything you say. Stop watching CBC and get your information from respectable news sources.
