obama: bitter elitist

Months and months ago, Obama made a comment about people of rural Pennsylvania clinging to their guns, religion and fear of foreigners. He was then labeled as an elitist. First of all, I assume the targeted area's citizens wouldn't have voted for him anyway. Besides, he had a point.

Religion, guns, and hating gays and immigrants are crutches that people lean on. But then again, so is fast food, crystal meth and child beauty pageants, but we don’t have time to tackle all of America’s addictions all in one night. So let’s focus on the big thing: that the people who claim to be the non-elitists are the ones who constantly shift tax burdens from the ones who fire you, to you. John McCain voted to repeal estate tax, voted against minimum wage, has no healthcare plan, and is fine with keeping the working class in Iraq for 100 years but hes a real man of the people.

The president went to Harvard, Yale, and inherited your country from his dad but he’s not an elitist because he can neither read nor write. What does it take to label someone elitist these days anyways? They wear shoes? They don’t buy their groceries at the gas station? Their dog has a name but their truck doesn’t? You know who’s bitter in America? I am. Beucase shit kickers voted twice for a retarded guy they wanted to have a beer with and everyone else had to suffer the consequences.

I honestly don't think that Barak Obama is this tyrannical monster that some people depict him to be. He agrees with some standpoints that could be seen as socialist, but I'm not sure he would become this extreme empire. We are already under the reign of an evil empire as we speak.

"The issue of economics is not something that I understand as well as I should"
"We need to protect the Iraq and Pakistan borders"
- John McCain


We are going to need someone who's going to get out of this horrible mess of a country to win this election. When "experience" has become such a key ingredient to this recipe for success, I'm not sure why intelligence hasn't been equally as important. There's never a way to completely tell at this point if Obama is a sheep in wolves clothing with potential of continental domination. There is also no way to tell if McCain is just another incompetent man with the brain capacity of a three year old who makes idiotic comments as we all shudder with annoyance while plummeting to destruction for the next four years. That was a run-on sentence, but oh well. I guess the only way to settle it would be to VOTE who you feel is the best candidate. That way, if you are unhappy about the country's situation post-election, you can have room to legitimately complain. Anyways, this is a fun little quiz: http://www.bush-mccainchallenge.com/?rc=fb
