Which one is the Elitist?

Which One is the Elitist Again?

Talk about fucking ridiculous.  The GOP continues to make Obama out to be an elitist and yet he lives relatively humbly while McCain can’t even remember how many homes he owns at times.

Seriously, McCain is a disgusting pig whose sanity is questionable and is unfit to lead anything.  Palin is gold digging political opportunist who doesn’t know jack about national, not to mention international, politics.  McCain has totally abandoned the issues (and in fact he is incapable of handling questions about most of them) and his campaign tactics have switched to manipulative name calling, outright lies and even thinly veiled racism.  McCain calls Obama an elitist but, as is often the case, he’s the true elitist: White, Rich and Protestant.

Obama may not be the perfect candidate but I think he’s pretty honest for a politician and at least he seems to have a degree of integrity.  I generall like Biden and he is certainly fully knowledgeable in foreign affairs.  I do think his campaign is not aggressive enough toward McCain/Palin.

If I was hiring the president and vice-president based on their educational backgrounds the choice would be even more clear:

Obama - B.A. Political Science from Columbia University, J.D. of Law (magna cum laude) from Harvard Law School
Biden - B.A. History, B.A. Political Science from University of Delware, J.D. of Law from Syracuse University College of Law

McCain - Graduated from the United States Naval Academy
Palin - B.S. Communication-Journalism from University of Idaho (after attending five different colleges)

Educationally they come out of the wash as Obama/Biden representing Diplomacy, Community and Order while McCain/Palin come out at Marketing and War.

So if having a good education makes you an elitist then everyone should want to be one.
