Barrack Obama was born of a Kenyan immigrant and a small town girl from Kansas. Her parents, also from Kansas, had her father serving in WWII and her mother working to keep Barrack’s mother fed as she grew. Barrack grew up a Methodist…let me say this again for clarification…A METHODIST. With the small town values Barrack grabbed hold of his bootstraps and pulled himself up. He didn’t have a legacy. As a matter of fact his father abandoned him. He took his law school education and used it to work for blue collar workers that needed to have their voices heard on worker rights issues. This doesn’t sound like a story of elitism.

John McCain was the son of an Admiral and graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Very few even get accepted to Annapolis…you could say only an elite few. McCain regrets the failure of his first marriage. Well while he speaks about his values he forgets to mention that his marriage failed because he was taking the “Straight Talk Express” to the arms of another woman while his wife was in the hospital following a car accident. Later he married the heir to a beer empire. Now with more houses than he can count, not to mention one very fabulous house in the centerfold of Architecture Digest, he is trying to make himself the voice of the “working class”. Even though he’s so wealthy he has to ask his staff how wealthy he is.

Yes, it is the irony you smell, and yes it really smells that bad. If anyone is an elitist it is the leaders of the Republican Party.
