    Didn't Bush and his sychophants use the schtick that home ownership was an at all time high therefore his economic policy rocked. Haven't heard that much about it anymore.
    Most likely...that wasn't why Bush got re-elected though. He got re-elected because the Democrats offered up a traitorous pandering asskisser...that's the only reason he got re-elected.

    You really are a bigot aren't you?
    What an upside down world we live in, when it's the Republicans that can't manage the economy and their supporters cry bigotry when somebody disagrees with them. I thought that was the purview of the Democrats.

    I just want to know what makes Obama an "elitist." If he came from humble origins instead of wealth and privilege, how does that make him an "elitist?" It can't be inherited wealth, it can't be his education, so that only leaves perceived condescension towards rural, working-class whites, regardless of the lack of the evidence for such a charge. Who is this woman of all people to call Obama an "elitist?" What values does she have that gives her insight into the common man that Obama does not have? Can you answer that question for me?



    Spend a lot of time thinking about Ann Coulter do you?
    I just find it ironic when extremely rich people express solidarity with people that they have nothing but contempt for.

    Spoken like someone who:

    A. Doesn't realize we have a Democrat controlled congress and
    B. Doesn't understand what the powers of the President and Congress are.

    This doesn't make you unique among Democrats BTW.

    Spoken like someone with a limited definition of elitist.

    It can't be inherited wealth, it can't be his education, so that only leaves perceived condescension towards rural, working-class whites, regardless of the lack of the evidence for such a charge. Who is this woman of all people to call Obama an "elitist?" What values does she have that gives her insight into the common man that Obama does not have?
    Because she is common? There is nothing common about Obama.


    Can you answer that question for me?
    I could...but it wouldn't change your mind, so why act like it would?

    You mean like the Democrats do with women?


    And BTW....a simple "yes" would have been sufficient.

    I'm sorry, but was it the Democrats who simultaneously decided to lower taxes and increase spending during wartime? Was it the Democrats who have squeezed the middle class? I must have missed that.

    B. Doesn't understand what the powers of the President and Congress are.
    Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

    Spoken like someone with a limited definition of elitist.
    I just wish somebody could explain to me how rich people arrive at the definition of "elitist."



    Because she is common?
    Yes, she's quite the salt of the earth, isn't she?




    I could...but it wouldn't change your mind, so why act like it would?
    I really do want to know the rationale behind it, so it wasn't a rhetorical question. If the goal here is to change minds, then why do we keep replying to each other? Clearly that's not the case here, as this is an argument you don't have enough rhetorical ammunition for.

    That said...I flat out know he is going to eviscerate the stock market with his Cap Gains tax...among other things.
    Yeah I mean how dare Obama vote for the bill that broke down the wall that separated the investment banks from commercial banks. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was one of the main causes of the mess we're in now and Barak Mother ing Oba.....wait....Whoops! That was McCain who voted for that bill. Oh and that name "Gramm" that is attached to said Act just happens to be Phil Gramm. The same Phil Gramm who "used" to be John McCain's senior economic advisor. Get a clue.

    She's doing a bang up job as a surrogate -



    Criticizing Obama for belittling "rednecks"? And Obama's the elitist....?
