like yourself, seemingly intelligent, articulate - yet you actually believe something so blatantly distorted and taken out of context as the statement attributed to Michelle Obama? If you're at all politically aware, you know the elitism charge is hurled in every Presidential election. I for one, think it would be only in our best interest to have a President and First Lady who are both Harvard educated, seasoned intellectuals. You may call that "elitism" but in all seriousness, you want a common man? You've had one for the past eight years.
