Barak Obama is such an elitist. Did you know that he comes from a very rich family? In fact his father, back in Kenya, owned an entire herd of goats. How many Kenyans own even one goat? Not too many. A snob? You have no idea. When Barak Obama Sr. came home with an extravagant portion of bush meat, they would sit around the palatial hut and serve up dinner and turn up their noses if the mustard was anything other than Grey Poupon.
And Obama's mother? What a snooty broad. She devoted her life to helping poor people in impoverished third world countries. There is nothing more elitist than "caring" about people in poor countries and trying to redistribute money from the rich to the poor. Real Americans try to teach those folks the value of hard work and pay them 5 cents a day to work in sweatshops making $85 sneakers.
True to form is their son, Barak Obama Jr.
After going to elementary school in the most elite area of Jakarta, Indonesia, 90210, he went to live with his grandparents in Hawaii. Hawaii! Palm trees! White sand beaches! Drinks with little umbrellas! I understand that his grandparents, former factory workers, lived off their pensions. Pensions! Part and parcel of the socialist elitist entitled snobs sucking the lifeblood from our economy.
Contrast this to Hillary Clinton's family, her father was a lowly factory owner. The Clinton family didn't own a herd of goats. They didn't even own ONE goat. Hillary later became a partner in the law office and served on the board of a little ma-and-pop business that has become synonymous with small town America and traditional values, Walmart.
John McCain's family didn't have any goats either. His father was a four-star admiral in the Navy. That might sound "elitist", but you have no idea how badly the four-star admirals were treated by the 5-star admirals. Goats were completely out of the question for the McCain family – did you know that they don't even allow you keep goats on an aircraft carrier?
John McCain did not come from a wealthy family. Nor did he acquire his wealth from dubious activities like writing best-selling books, like that elitist Obama. No, McCain's wealth came honorably – he divorced his broke-ass first wife and married an heiress, who funded his political career. Americans respect that kind of entrepreneurial pluck. And that word "pluck" is not a typo.
What we need in a president is another Joe Average guy like George W. Bush. When he attended Andover, Yale and Harvard he consistently scored "C"'s, which is synonymous with "Average". He majored in business, with a minor in ranching. He dreamed, one day, of owning goats, perhaps even a horse. But it was not to be. The former president of Mexico, Vincente Fox, wrote that when Bush visited the Fox Ranch and was encouraged to ride a prize stallion, Bush refused and even appeared afraid of horses. That's because only rich ranchers can afford horses, and Bush's Crawford Ranch is so barren he can only harvest brush.
President Bush - now that's a regular guy! Did you ever see the guy throw a baseball? He throws from the top of the mound, not the base of the mound. And the ball goes all the way to home base. What a man. The kind of guy who could beat Hillary and Obama at bowling with one hand tied behind his back, provided it was not the hand that he normally uses to bowl with. The kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with, except that he doesn't drink alcohol any more. He just talks like a drunk, which we Americans all find endearing.
Obama will never become President for one simple reason. He talks too fancy. Have you ever heard Obama speak? His diction is impeccable, his voice resonant, the architecture of his ideas flawless. Hasn't seven years of George W. Bush taught him anything? When will the Democratic party learn that it is important to field a candidate who does not appear remotely intelligent?
I blame Hawaii. I guess they don't punish you there for being intelligent. If Obama had gone to an inner-city school with other American black kids, he would gotten his ass kicked for "talking white". Had he been raised in the heartland, he would have been sneered at for being "uppity". The idea is the same: How dare you talk to me as if I were intelligent.
Obama talks to America as if it were an intelligent adult. But the current flap over Obama's "bitter " comments prove otherwise.
