Obama Resigns, Hillary Hired.

Not exactly the headline you’d expect to see Sunday morning as you stop at the bottom of the driveway, bend down, pick up the paper, and make the habitual groggy-steaming-coffee-in-hand-slipper-footed-robe-donned turn back toward the homestead, circa 8:20am, thirty-five minutes before firing up the ole minivan, loading up the kids, and driving to choir practice, but nonetheless a definite possible preview of a tribune near you. The first portion of the headline, much to the chagrin of Republicans everywhere, primarily those known for two-word only headline skimming, who in the resulting fit of joy, happily call friends and family in western times zones waking them up at ungodly hours only to find out a minute too late that A) it does not refer to Obama’s Presidential-Elect position but rather his Senate seat B) that’s only the beginning of the problem.

It’s a fact that there are plenty of Northeastern Republican supporters who absolutely despise Hillary Clinton’s existence. Stemming all the way back to when she loaded up all the carpet she had, put it in a really big bag, slung it over her shoulder, and moved to New York, there’s a lot of bitterness left over from her ascension to Pat Moynihan’s vacated senate seat at the very moment most Clinton family haters thought they’d finally be rid of Clintons in government. Eight years later, another sigh of relief for Republicans was had at the hands of Barack Obama, an unlikely dark horse candidate, who narrowly defeated a would be shoo-in for President, Hillary Clinton. Four months later, despite a statistical dead heat at the beginning of the race, a lengthy head start for Republican candidate John…

Elitism: I Know You Are, But What Am I?

There are many buzz words and phrases that can be heard in every campaign as well as politics in general. Words and phrases like “maverick” and “out of touch.”

Another such word is “elitist.” We hear this word all time, generally used as a knock against those perceived as liberal Democrats. This word is a misnomer because it applies to all of American politics in a bipartisan fashion.

Dictionary.com defines elitism as the practice of or belief in rule by a favored group(elite). This term is generally spouted by Republican supporters such as Lynn Forester de Rothschild who take aim at people like Barack Obama for being “elitist” (she ironically supported Hillary Clinton before Barack Obama received the Democratic nomination).

Yes, those Rothschilds. So where does she get off claiming that Barack Obama is an elitist you ask? Especially when she’s just along for the ride, born into one of the richest families on Earth? Surely she realizes that the wealthy have almost all the power in the world, right?

American politics IS elitism. If John McCain were elected the 44th President of the United States, he would become just another example of a male, white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant who comes from money to occupy the Oval Office. The most notable exceptions of recent memory are JFK, who was Catholic (blasphemy!) and Richard Nixon who came from a dirt poor family of Quakers. This country has always been run by rich, white, Protestant men. I believe that qualifies as a “favored group.”

Obama is often criticized by various conservatives and Republicans for his intellectual elitism. People feel that his Columbia and Harvard pedigree and big city political experience makes him unable to understand the…
