No elitists need apply
Sometimes these things just write themselves.
The Republican rap on Obama is that he's an elitist, right? A guy who was raised by a single mother on Food Stamps, got to college on scholarship, went to law school on student loans--elitist all over, right?
Now we have confirmation of that characterization by one of Hillary Clinton's supporters and fundraisers, who announced today that she's supporting McCain.
And her name is . . .
Wait for it . . .
You guessed it. It's Everywoman, known to her friends as Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, international financier who splits her time between homes in New York and London.
“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild.
As my wife said, I guess she would know.

I think it's just incredible that the party of wealth has such success in painting the other party as elitists, even when the 'elitist' is an African-American raised on food stamps and the 'common person' is the son of an Admiral, who was also son of an Admiral, married to an heiress.
Similar to when they put the same tag on a decorated war veteran running against the common man who just happened to be son of a President and grandson of a Senator.
It's genius!
