Post I was wondering when this was coming

During this campaign season, the one thing that has cracked me up was how Barack Obama has been labeled as an “elitist” by, first, Hillary Clinton and now, John McCain.* Hillary Clinton labeling as an elitist was pretty laughable considering that, among other things, she was the former first lady of the United States and, with her husband, was worth more than $100 million. Furthermore, some advisers to her campaign were lobbying for heads of state around the world.* That’s pretty elite company.

If Clinton was bad, McCain is worse.* He grew up a child of privilege whose Admiral father was able to pull strings to get him into the Naval Academy. He left wife number 1 to marry beer heiress and current wife, Cindy.* She, alone, has a net worth of roughly $100 million. However, two fairly recent event showed me how much of an elitist McCain really was.* The first was when it was discovered that John McCain had been using his wife’s private jet for campaigning without reporting that he was doing so.* The second was when it was uncovered that he had an overdue property tax bill.* It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford it but, when one owns 10 homes, it’s hard to keep track of all the bills.

Up until now, no one has hit back against the McCain choir for labeling Obama an elitist when the moniker seems to fit McCain more but, Brave New Films is taking up the challenge.* They have created a new video called McCain’s Mansions.* Check it out below:

All this does is turn the fiasco into a "stone for stone" contest and the GOP know it. Obama needs to continue campaigning if thats what hes doing and not get involved with anymore of the nonsense he managed to survive against the Clintons.

Mccain calls Obama an Elitist, whats so bad about that anyway? Obviously he is to a degree or he wouldn't be in the position hes in. Because Mccain has access to his wife's millions and flys around in a private jet, does that make him an elitist? Of course it does, so its a wash. At this point in the game Obama best to be about his hog killing cause if he gets caught up in the childish crap the media is promoting with this school boy name calling mess..........oh well!
