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.

This is why conservatives can suck my balls.

Say what you like about "not all conservatives are this way," but time and again, this bullshit comes from that side of the aisle. Virtually every "true conservative" I know thinks along these lines, as well as most people on some level, and it's complete crap. Intolerance blows.
