The reaction to Joan's correct assessment of Obama's elitist remarks is like killing the messenger. She has it right when she says, in effect, Obama has shown his true stripes as a Harvard elitist. Obama has gotten the big head because he has been praised as a messiah by a well meaning over zealous press corps. He now believes all his press clippings.
As we have seen happen before, talk is cheap. What will a Barack Obama USA look like ? For myself, I am very uneasy at the thought of an Obama Presidency. Does he really love America enough to defend it militarily if need be ? Does he think we have something special in a free market economy and not a state owned economy which does not reward effort ? Just thought I'd ask. Remember, we are not voting for a class president or the captain of the cheer leading squad. This is about the PRESIDENT OF THE USA, not a popularity contest.
