Obama isn't elitist.

Why?

Because his comments about poverty causing people to be bitter and act in discriminatory ways are right. "They took our jobs!" is a real argument against immigration... people with jobs don't say that sort of thing. The effects of de-industrialization are real as well.

Poverty is an enemy of everything, and that's what Obama was saying. It's the conservatives and reactionaries calling him "elitist," "out of touch," and even "Marxist," because he's right to focus on the little people getting fucked by the administration and their ass-backward economic policies.

All this hoo-ha is about nothing except character assassination, again. Being sadly correct doesn't make a person elitist, it makes them right. Don't fall for the bullshit.
