This is a perfect example of the media taking a position, that Obama's comments were elitist, and creating a problem for him where none should exist. The truth of the matter is more people know the names of the contestants on American Idol than they do the names of their Senators. George Will, of all people, had the gall to write an editorial about Obama being on a high horse. Sheesh. Obama needs to keep trudging along and avoid strategizing to the point he loses himself and his message. He is right. He needn't apologize.
