Reply #9: It is not

It just shows they are jealous.

The "elite" is not a bad thing, where based on brains. Where based on wealth, it means * and the Kennedys (thus no respecter of party ID).

Obama as editor of Harvard Law Review has to be part of the intellectual elite, but why is that bad? This is why the Rovian "attack their strenghts" succeeds. Tuning in to people's sense of inferiority and jealousy. Obama himself does nothing to act like he is superior, which is why the M$M keeps insisting he is "arrogant."

He is smarter than the average American. And this is a bad thing in a President? Only to the kool-aid drinkers who are so pathetic they can't take the fact that they haven't made the effort and don't have the talent and can't measure up to Obama on their own terms for "success."
