Elite or Not Elite; that’s the Question; Democrats 2008

What is the definition?  More talented, privileged, or highly trained than others.

To me it appears that the amount of money a person earns doesn’t apply to the question.  What it does demonstrate is an individual's philosophy that reflects an attitude of perception concerning an individual’s opinion towards others.

A wealthy person can be defined as not being elitist, and conversely, a person of less means can be the essence of elitism.

A person is indeed the total sum of their thoughts, both expressed outwardly and is evident, along with the inner principles which form their beliefs and impressions of others.

When we are faced with an assessment of the democratic choice in the selection of a candidate answerable to the needs of a party that embraces the interests of the common man/woman, the issue of the title “elitism” has to be assigned by intent.

Both democrat candidates have demonstrated either apathetic or sympathetic positions towards the spirit of the ordinary persons concerns.  It has been obvious through both suggestions’ and exploitation that Sen. Obama reveals he is the former, Sen. Clinton the latter.

Witness the recent debate over the proposed gas tax holiday, with Obama, likening this to attempts to reinvent the wheel.  It isn’t that deep.  Sen. Clinton relays a sense of statement and a gesture. Obama is disconnected to the realities endured by everyday citizens who have to opt between real time financial decisions. To intllectual about nothing.

It is apparent that Clinton has not only the experience in the issue regarding universal health care but her position is all inclusive. Obama excludes many, and lacks the proficiency to accomplish the ends with again, a to complicated proposal, falling short at completion.

Obama’s inner consciousness has already been revealed in San Francisco, which expressed his opinions concerning the lifestyles of middle and lower class working people residing in rural America. That point can not be manipulated or discounted. 

In the final analysis the consideration is, who can appreciate a person’s predicament, and will make the effort to understand those who are regular working Americans, living day to day, paycheck to paycheck.  That candidate who comprehends these people is Sen. Clinton., Hands down.
