“I admire so much Sen. Obama’s eloquence,” McCain sneered.

“I admire so much Sen. Obama’s eloquence,”

A phrase McCain returned to in an attempt to suggest that Obama isn't "one of us"


“I admire so much Sen. Obama’s eloquence,” is code for - Not one of us. Not plain-spoken. Elitist. Intellectual. Speaks well but says nothing. Not a straight talker. (because he uses big words and arranges them so nicely). People can't understand him (again - because he uses big words and arranges them so nicely and, golly gee, Joe the Plumber just doesn't understand those 25 cent words).

McCain is saying Obama can't talk to "the people" - and while this should insult "the people" (because it is insulting), video footage of McCain-Palin supporters have shown us that some people want their President to be as ignorant as they are - a President that doesn't challenge them to be better - to do better. They want a President that will feed their fears and validate their prejudices.
