Remove the Left Coast and the North Eastern intellectual coast from the US and you get the mediocre third world that "mericans" want. That’s right.

Most of the coastal left is elitist, but doesn't admit it. Like the addict that can't see the addiction or will never admit it, the neo-liberal is oblivious to his own condition, and as such holds contempt for those who are different than they. Barack wasn't trying to be insulting to middle America, because he doesn't think what he said is bad. He believes it, as do most neo-liberals. But when the bitter, angry, unhinged left cling to things they believe in, it isn't guns or God -- it is gun control, it is class-warfare, it is nutty-environmentalism, it is increased gov't. regulation, it is irrational unilateral pacifism, it is unconstitutional separation of church and state, it is pro-abortion politics, it is condescending racism and classic Saul Alinsky theory, and on and on. Barack is most certainly elitist. But he ought to embrace it rather than run from it. At least he'd hold his base.

He cannot allow the Republican Party (and Hillary) to portray him as an elitist, which he most certainly is not. He is our best hope for change in Washington and we need him to win.
