How is "eliteness" a qualifier inherently applied to Barack Obama? He's not the one who owns so many houses, he can't remember them all.

"Eliteness" generally means "well-educated" in the context of this election. A lot of the blue-collar Republican base DEEPLY distrusts and despises higher education in this country and its graduates due to their criticism of the blind, corruption-enabling patriotism and militaristic and xenophobic policies of the Republican blue-collar base.
What a bunch of opinionated bullsh!t. Where do scrape up this nonsense?
Your comment demonstrates that you are uneducated and distrust the correct explanation TheVigil gave you of what "elite" means.
We need another bellicose "Bring em' on" president like we need a whole in the head. As a combat
veteran with a purple heart I have seen the war (they're all the same) and it is bad. How will we finance all these wars with everyone who looks at us funny...... borrow from China... again? Maybe when we run out of
Americans to fight we can hire Chinese mercenarys! We need a president with a brain who knows how to reason. Talk first and THEN action if need be. That is why I support Barak Obama.
Thank you, Mr. Citizen, for your plain and common sense words! I agree 100%.
Hats off to "Joe the Citizen"-
Thank you for your insightful comment.
Brother, I was lucky and got to my 20 without the Purple Heart. God Bless you and thank you.
You are right, all war is bad. (Gulf I/Somalia)
When you have to resort to killing to get your point across, you have to wonder what the point was.
I voted Obama too.
cduff83: Your views reflect the Middle Ages. In the meantime, the Renaissance has happened, and the Enlightenment of the 18th century. It is not socialism that is evil, it's unbridled capitalism. Look at what capitalism has done to the financial system in the United States! And makes you think we do not have a class system in America today? And what makes you think you have the same rights as G.W.Bush, or Cheney, Rice, etc.? You are a poor, ignorant person repeating the talking points of right wing radicals. It would be nice if you could listen--really listen with an open mind--to educated and liberal people who look at the world with 21st century visions.
Our US Constitution acknowledged that people are not perfect. That is why they crafted a gornment format that was intentionally inefficient and full of checks and balances. I was born in 1935, the deepest bottom of the Great Depression. I may leave this world in the depths of another depression. Our form of government has vulnerabilities. One vulnerability is the loss of a balance of power. Another vulnerability is widespread contempt for the rule of law caused by lawgivers who are contemptable. Yet another vulnerability is an allegiance to groups that exceed r replaces our allegiance to our Country. I see evidence of all of these vulnerabilities present at the same time. I also recall a statement by a brilliant scholor and statesman, Henry Kissinger (a Jew, Harvard scholar and a Democrat). He said that our allies remain so as long as we support their interests. Beware what you wish for. You might get not only your wish, but also its awful consequences.
First of all people with comments of peace on here, is socialism peace???? Those insulting Joe the plumber I don't care but you relate him to all who support the republican party, your an ignorant idiot. Please don't be idiots insulting others, think before you speak. Obama has blinded many, he will raise taxes, support a socialist agenda, promote the wholesale killing of the unborn- abortion, promote my children to live in an immoral Godless world, unconstitutional marriage of same sex, pro government control and power, fascism, selling the U.S. to Europe and foreign investors, the promotion of a class system, less rights for the people, more religous censorship, etc...
Looks like Obama is already changing the world. Can't wait to see what we can accomplish as a nation under an Obama administration. A much needed new beginning for America is underway.
YES WE CAN!!!

The future of moderates in America and the world depends on U.S. elections Re-creating a world moderate political, economic, religious and racial depends on the U.S. elections The future of the world in the war against terrorism and the elimination depends on the greatest event in the history of U.S. human U.S. elections is now a broom to clean up the minds and hearts around the world, not America alone
If the community allows the survival of the old U.S. will not accept the opportunity to lead the world in a moderate new control will remain the world all the old fanatic and a chaos of war and chaos, money and weapons chaos and anarchy and chaos drug convulsions Change and moderation in the international community has become an international humanitarian requirement
people do not want Mountain of force and intolerance, such as volcanoes, which ravage the land but wants to build pyramids strong disciplined and under control, humanitarian fair
Dear ObamaYesWeCan, Joe the citizen,
Um, the thought occurs to me to wonder why you so worried about "Joe Not a Plumber"?? What office is he running for and just how many votes are you worried he'll take away from which candidate??? Just how is "Joe Not a Plumber" going to have an effect on how much food is on your table, or gas is in your car?? Please pay closer attention, there are some REALLY important things going on right now and "Joe Not a Plumber" and how much Palin spent on undies should not even be on the list. They aren't on Obama's list of things to worry about are they?
Beautifully considered, beautifully written.
This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323
Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.
...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.
Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.
After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.
Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

Chad B, I couldn't have said it better myself. Joe The Citizen
Obama/Biden '08, Please get my brother out of Iraq!
Why so Many of The World Resident really speaks with their clear minds this time round on this particular American's Election?.
Many of these investors have been penalised for helping building the foundation of American 's Economy directly , they are from West-East -North-South of the World.
My Bank's financial advisers sold High Notes 5 that Link to US's bank to investors like myself as 'growth' products without explaining the risk. I received a call from my relationship manager to say that my investment in High Note 5 was affected by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and that, potentially, I will receive nothing in return for the investment.
My question was: How could I receive nothing when I bought a basket of eight banks? My relationship manager couldn't explain and had to rope in three experts to walk us through the highly-structured product to understand that what was sold as a basket of risk wasn't true. I believe Many of us "Around The World "have same fate
High Note 5 investors will not benefit from the basket of eight banks' debts, but will now suffer 100 per cent losses from the single party that defaulted, that is, Lehman Brothers.
The reasons :REPUBLICAN PARTY deregulated the Law allowing US banks to where it happen before those Depression Years.
IF American VOTERS want to Continue with your nonsence ....Then it's right for the World Confidence totally Evaporated. for USA. .,,,,,,,,...You're on your Own .
HOPES of properous thy neighbor
When saying "Europe is thrilled by.. the end of George Bush", one must consider that GW was never really the leader of the US. He was a puppet president controlled by Cheney and the Neocons of the New GOP (aka The Rovians). I feel bad for GW but hope the best for him as he retires to his ranch - he's sure to go down in history as leader of the worst administration this country has ever seen.
The worst in recent memory, definitely, but remember we have had some awful governance in this country.
James Buchanan failed to take action in the years leading to the Civil War, causing the split of the country.
Andrew Johnson was a horrendous racist and bungled Reconstruction, leading to years of poverty and hardship in the South.
Herbert Hoover absolutely blew a chance to stave off the Great Depression.
My guess is that Bush will be rated lower than Hoover, but *maybe* above Buchanan and Johnson (maybe). It's worth noting that Bush inherited a country in relatively good shape and left us with a steaming quagmire though.
Bush will be 44 of 44 as soon as 44 is elected.
I grew up a Republican Moderate, and left the party after Reagan. I'll never go back or give them a dime of cash or minute of my time. I work for Democrats now. I kind of feel it is repaying a karma debt.
When we elect a 45th President, Bush will slide to 45.
When his Presidential coin comes out, they should all be cast into the sea.
Dictatorship run by Supreme Court selected president Bush and criminal mastermind Cheney leaving the impression of U.S.A around the world that will take 100 years to clean up from the mind of civilized people around the world. This election will affect the whole world not only U.S.A. U.S.A still a racist country because of Republican Party. You saw RNC convention in St. Paul in MN, you saw only 19 people of color in the audience. That tells the whole story that the Republican Party stands for, the prime example is hurricane Katrina aftermath.

Waipio97 or hiller12c (whoever posted this idiotic comment!)
It's people like you who brought America to its current stage- a failing giant who drags the rest of the world with him! Your ignorance and idiotic comment reflect the state of mind of all the conservatives...Get out of the town a little bit more, see the world, educate yourself, be a little bit more intellectually curious about what's going on in the world. If you think American can survive on its own by doing what it's been doing for the last 8 years and will still be safe you are totally out of touch like your candidates. The world is forever changing, the technology brings us closer than you could ever imagine. This is not post WWII era any more. Mccain could have been a formidable candidate if he had stood his ground like he used to for the past 3 decades AND had picked a more intelligent VP . All this talk is too late for him now. There is no denying that his campaign is dysfunctional, his ideas are out-dated, and his runningmate has done more harm than help. All those talks about how the race is tightening is a spin out of desperation. Mccain is a relic from the 20 century; it's time for a 21st century president!
After reading this entire article I now am more convinced then ever that Obama is the wrong person to be President of the USA. The fact that most of the world and in particular the Europeans want him means we must elect McCain. They have , except in the very, very rare ocasion, never come to the aid of America. The Europeans are takers not givers, they always were and always will be.

Without allies and friends, the world will be a hostile, terrible place for us.
Keep selling nativism/nationalism. In order to be a world power and world leader, the United States must engage the world, and often on grounds not to our immediate benefit.
The Marshall plan sure panned out well.
The Deibold/GOP mafia can steal this one too unless there is a huge wave of voting, and auditing, that will not concede until and unless all votes are counted.
This election can be stolen.
If you have an on demand function on your TV, you can watch a documentary on voter fraud and theft.
