Obama and Charges of Elitism-Again

This is oddly similar to another equally disoriented post by a different HuffPo blogger a couple days ago.



The hate spew frothing from the limbaughs is meaningless to the vast majority of the country's voters. Them screaming "elitist" means nothing and it's almost bizarre that anyone would make that a key lynch-pin in an argument.



The only issue that is relevant is that Obama was elected to make strong steps toward cleaning up a dysfunctional Executive Branch and lead legislative initiatives to fix the economy and our failed foreign policies.



What we all see - regardless if we listen to Air America or Faux News - is virtually none of that taking place.



We see dithering, stern speechifying about personal responsibility, capitulation to - and even incorporation of (vis a vis Treasury Sec and economic advisor picks) - the forces that have decimated our nation's economy. And virtually no real movement on real issues with real impact on real people.



Calling Obama "elitist" would truly be a most trite and shallow aspersion at this point. And it would most absolutely have only an infinitely microscopic impact on how the public views him, his administration, and his "accomplishments" to date.



I had a sign in my yard for Obama and am a lifelong Democrat. We started last January with an historic opportunity to right so many wrongs. Well, if the first 10 months are any indication of the next 3 years, we picked the wrong guy for the job.
