McCain: Obama 'comments are elitist'

Bison — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:22:24 GMT

What is the Matter With Kansas?
The upside of this is, once again, Obama has stirred a dialogue on trying to understand why white working class people have the proclivity to vote on life-style rather than economic issues. Obama’s comments have the potential to lead the nation in turning a corner on how cultural, life-style, and anti-immigration issues are used as political wedge issues. He acknowledges the economic bitterness that has existed in this country for decades, but he sees the solution residing in each of us as American and our ability to seek positive solutions. He sees that part of the problem has been that for too long time, we've had a politics that's been too small for the scale of the economic challenges we face; instead, of having a politics that safeguarded cultural, life-style, and immigration policy, we've had a politics that's used these issues to drive us apart. All this did was to feed the forces of division and distraction, and stop us from solving our economic and social problems. That is why the great need of this hour is much the same as it was when King delivered his “fierce urgency of now” message. Let’s not get hoodwinked. He is forcing us to confront our feelings of bitterness and to transform them into actions of hope. Lets’ get real! Any body growing up on food stamps, black with a single white mother, and having to pay off college loans, understands God’s Grace and appreciates the opportunities that this country has to offer.
The Clinton Campaign is defining elitism according to their definition of is. To say that he is out of touch with these blue collar white people, is it also a way to say that he is a racist. Some of
the last modern vestiges of white power reside in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and Indiana .It is a way to say that he is a closet black nationalist out of touch with lower middle class white people. Is it a way to say that he is really just like Rev. Wright? There is a subliminal race message lodge in the “out of touch,” elitism line. Black elitism is an absurdity at worst, and humorous at best.

McCain couldn't in good faith say that Obama was an elitist, and he knows it. An elitist believes in rule by the elite and believes she or he deserves favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. McCain is a Billionaire through his wife Cindy and Hillary is a multi-millionaire through former president Clinton. Barack Obama the child of a single mother raised by his grandparents who went to school on a scholarship and made $12,000 a year before becoming a law professor, lawyer and state senator. Five years ago Obama was still paying off his student loans. You decide whether Clinton, McCain or Obama is an elitist? Obama '08, Yes We Can!

Bison,
Perhaps Senator Obama would have better luck if he tried to understand working people before judging them. Most working people are far wiser than the liberals who keep trying to "save" them. They tend to vote for people who reflect their values fully understanding the limited power any government has to control the economy. They are not bitter, just not so easily hoodwinked by a slick sales pitch. This is why they are attracted to McCain because the man is anything but slick, just real.

Bruce, Leesburg, VA — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:39:57 GMT

Gee Senator McCain, you don't think that some Americans are bitter about the economy and that stating this is elitist.

Did you forget that on April 2, in Annapolis, MD you said the following:

"many Americans are indifferent to or cynical about the virtues that our country claims. In part, it is attributable to the dislocations economic change causes; to the experience of Americans who have, through no fault of their own, been left behind as others profit as they never have before. In part, it is in reaction to government's mistakes and incompetence, and to the selfishness of some public figures who seek to shine the luster of their public reputations at the expense of the public good. But for others, cynicism about our country, government, social and religious institutions seems not a reaction to occasions when they have been let down by these institutions, but because the ease which wealth and opportunity have given their lives led them to the mistaken conclusion that America, and the liberties its system of government is intended to protect, just aren't important to the quality of their lives.

I'm a conservative, and I believe it is a very healthy thing for Americans to be skeptical about the purposes and practices of public officials. We shouldn't expect too much from government -- nor should it expect too much from us. Self-reliance -- not foisting our responsibilities off on others -- is the ethic that made America great.

But when healthy skepticism sours into corrosive cynicism our expectations of our government become reduced to the delivery of services. And to some people the expectations of liberty are reduced to the right to choose among competing brands of designer coffee."

Spare me your righteous indignation. This administration has stolen liberties from the American people and treaded all over our constitution and laws, condoning torture, suspending habeas corpus and using warrantless wiretaps to spy on American citizens.

McCain: Obama 'comments are elitist'

Mitchell Feldman, Vestal, NY — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:40:06 GMT

I posted this on another thread but it may have been too late. Here it is again.

You've got it, Barack! When Hillary Elmer Clinton (that's Elmer for Fudd and Gantry) isn't busy hunting or attending her religious cult, she's busy competing with John McWar for hypocite of the century. She and John are no more in touch with the plight of working Americans than Marie Antoinette was with the French citizenry before the revolution. While these two Republican elitists cater to their million dollar clients, the rest of us watch our country's fortunes slip away. And with these disappearing fortunes, go the oppurtunities for our children.

Let's get this right. Barack's statement wasn't against guns or religion. It's just that some people will use their respect for guns and their devotion to their faith as a vehicle to express their bitterness against an estranged government in Washington. Why? It's simple. Guns are a symbol of independence from an insensitive federal government and religion is a way to give allegiance to the ultimate power, a power who provides comfort. Independence and comfort are necessary to counter a government in Washington which alienates its citizenry by providing policy which exports jobs and causes instability in the economy. These negligent acts both siphon wealth from the middle class and widen the chasm between the haves and have-nots.

Of course, people are bitter after experiencing the past two monarchies of Bush and Clinton. Of course, people want to derive comfort and show their independence when the federal government is so out of step with their needs. Barack tells it like it is and people should nod their heads in agreement, instead of being manipulated by the misrepresentations of Hillary and McWar. Barack is not an elitist because he refuses to spew the happy talk which perpetuates the narcosis that has institutionalized the status quo. Wake up everyone! The old platitudes about American pride and resiliency will no longer serve to supplement a lack of good government policy. Barack's honesty will provide a new thrust to the federal government and will allow everyone to come to the table for a share of the pie.

Kim, Pasadena, CA — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:46:02 GMT

Senator McCain needs to read or hear the comments again. Senator Obama tried to explain people; he did not disparage people. The Bible specifically tells us to "cling to what is good" in Romans. There is no definition of "cling" of which I know that would make this derogatory. When the government ignores you for 25 years even though your community's population has halved and the jobs that remain don't pay have as much as the ones that are gone, you would need to cling to what is good in your life. People cling to what is good in good times and bad times, but especially in bad times.

I find this whole thing bizarre -- I don't know when "cling" became an insulting verb. You also are supposed to cling to your spouse in adversity -- is this too derogatory? I also don't quit get all of this people running around saying the "rust belt" isn't hurt by NAFTA -- Pennsylvania and small town America everywhere are doing fine and dandy! Really?

I live in California where NAFTA has not hit as hard, but I have friends who once had a small business making jeans for Levi's. It was a fairly good business, small, but made enough for them to live a fairly decent middle class life. Now, their contract is gone to a company South of the Border. All over this Country, the small business is going out of business, but they still get to pay taxes that literally include corporate subsidies to Wal-Mart to pay for Wal-Mart employee healthcare (most on medi-caid), Wal-Mart street infrastructure (a stop-light at the entrance) and other subsidies to Wal-Mart.

Bitter is a good description for how they feel about paying taxes into the pocket of their biggest competitor to put themselves out of business. Bitter is a fairly good word.

Calling the statement that pointed out the 25 years of neglect "elitist" does not resonate so well as "bitter" does, I know because I asked.

Obama is basically making the case that small town Americans have suffered through 27 years of either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House and the pattern is pretty clear--pander in a big way to our very real sense of faith and patriotism during the election season and then ignore or hurt us with policy. Their policies have shipped our jobs overseas, sent our kids to war, raised our gas prices to the moon, and destroyed our sense of belief in government—particularly regarding the honesty of politicians. What is most ironic is the immediate response to Obama’s comments from both Senators Clinton and McCain -- pander, pander, pander to small-town folks again. Too interesting . . . but not surprising.

Because the government ISN'T responsbile for the housing crisis. PEOPLE are.

Here's an interesting statistic. I didn't buy my house until .... DRUM ROLL PLEASE .... I could AFFORD IT.

I didn't have some lawyer sitting there with me, and I'm not an idiot, so know what's too good to be true, and I didn't sign anything that didn't say FIXED RATE.

Anyone who did otherwise took a gamble, and they lost. It's the government's job to make sure they go hungry, to make sure their kids are taken care of, but it certainly isn't the government's fault to make everything A-OK. Because that means MY TAX dollars are making everything A-OK.

And I'd rather pay tax dollars to prevent genocide and civil war in Iraq than bail out careless jackasses who buy homes when they can be tricked by a sentence or two. (Remind anyone of Obama fans?)

This is for all the so called political experts and pundits out there. Keep in mind that this is the Democratic nomination process. In the General Election a misstep by Clinton will be far less impactful to her chances than how a misstep by Obama will impact his chances. If you have to ask why then you are not very bright. A misstep by Obama multiplies the lack of experience wrap. Just like when McCain makes missteps voters are more likely to dismiss it due to the depth of his experience, therefore McCain can just say I misspoke. Clinton is also more resilient to handle missteps due to her experience. Right now Obama is looking like a third grader that just been caught doing something and is trying to dismiss it as if to say “ha ha ha, no you are bad”. Trying to laugh off a statement made when he thought it would not be reported tell you a lot about the man. The word “two-faced” comes to mind. The more I hear him and learn about him the more his “change” message does not holds water.

1. Hillary Clinton's senior strategist Mark Penn was paid by the Columbian politicians to promote the free trade agreement. Hillary still has him on her team.

2. Hillary Clinton Promoted NAFTA and Bill Clinton signed it into law and American Middle Class lost thousands of jobs.

3. Bill Clinton is paid 800,000 dollars by the Columbian Government to promote NAFTA and he and Hillary barrow the money to Hillary's campaign.

4. I am bitter because Hillary denigrated our courageous military with her (3) lying stories about sniper fire in Bosnia.

5. I am bitter because Bill Clinton lied (5) times while trying to defend Hillary's lies about her trip to Bosnia.

6. I am bitter because Hillary Clinton lied about her million dollar fund raiser put on by Ron Paul.

7. I am bitter because Hillary Clinton is 60 years old and at 11:00pm she cant remember much (according to Bill Clinton) What can I expect at 3:00am?

8. I am bitter because Hillary Clinton calls Obama an elitist when he worked for everything from the bottom up and she and Bill Clinton have many more millions of dollars and has never done anything while young or otherwise to help the poor.

Obama said these things in large part because he is inexperienced at this level of politics. He has grown a lot over the campaign and is to be commended for that but I fear that if he gets the nomination come November, the Republicans will eat him alive. Their gloves are off and they are chomping at the bits. He comes across as being too thin skinned and he can't seem to let things roll off his back. Not good traits to go up against the Reps in the fall.

I don't think the bitter comment has any traction for Hillary or McCain but his response on race was good for him.

It is beyond me that Clinton or McCain can call Obama an elitist since both Clinton's and McCain's net worth shatters Obama's "fortune."

Why worry, Obama is going to fix everything from hunger to the space station with "hope and change" what a bunch of bull....

I can't see how a white person can call a black person elitist? Unfortunately, White people are and always have been the dominant race in America. By what platform is the black man looking down at white America? Oh yeah, the platform where the noose is hanging from. Or, maybe the tree that white people tarred and feathered the black man from?

McCain and Clinton are not facing reality. People are bitter, I get very bitter when I have to pay almost $3.50 for a gallon of gas, plus everything at the grocery store gets higher and higher every week. Yes, I agree with Obama, we are bitter, if you don't have to worry about putting food on your table for your children, buying clothes, paying high premiums for insurance you would be very happy like the Clintons. Get real we are not happy campers. We need a change and I believe Obama would help us more than either Billary or McClain.
