I found that “people hold on to religious beliefs and guns because they don't have enough money” quote curious. What is he going to do, give them money or jobs so that they’ll give up there guns and be relieved of the burden of religion? I mean that seems like the unstated drift of the statement. 'We're gonna create jobs and entitlement programs so that you don't need to hold on to guns and religion anymore!'

Elitist? Nahhh, not much.

Probably just an unfortunate choice of words but he's supposed to be the smart one, right?
