Hillary, McCain and anyone else who believes that Obama's statements were derogatory are falling into a big trap. First of all, the people (almost all of us) do get very impatient and disgusted with the government and turn to whatever else of interest to vent frustrations. That's what Obama said, he did not undermine anyone for their positions or beliefs - just stated the facts. Secondly, it is Hillary who has no clue about the general populace - she is hoping to keep as many people in the dark as possible - interpreting for them Obama's remarks by saying he called them stupid or that he thinks he is better than they are. Obama made those statements knowing that thinking people would understand what he was saying, it took Hillary to put a negative spin on the comments. And finallly, people can and do think for themselves; if they really look into the entire statements made by both candidates - they cannot help but come to the conclusion that Obama is "for the people", Hillary is for Hillary! PS: What's the problem with electing a person who's status is "elite"? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Why settle for less when we have such a great choice? Obama in 08!!!
