Elitism: The Charge That Obama Can’t Shake

New York Times ^ | October 30, 2010 | PETER BAKER

[Psalm 144]

“All these doctors must have been debris with wrecked practices from Malpractice actions”

Or professional expert witnesses. There is a LOT of EASY money to be made as an expert witness for hire. One must first get the necessary credentials in the particular area of expertise, then sell one’s ‘expert opinion’ to the highest bidder in litigation.

The influence of the insanely high tort sweepstakes in the area of rising medical liability insurance costs and ultimately medical costs to patients, is all too often ignored or underestimated.

Tort lawyers and their henchmen (professional witnesses) are a major source of DNC money.

[Psalm 144]

“Bush was a Yale grad and came from wealth, yet was able to connect to “regular” people.”

At times.

“Islam is a religion of peace” and amnesty were not among those times. He was a mixed bag, and too easily persuaded by some poisonous advisers and false friends.

BO Plenty is the original Muslim empty suit. He is a completely incompetent president who intends to fulfill his goals of completely destroying the traditional American way of life before the elections in 2012. After that he will probably become Secretary General of the United Nations.

[ilovesarah2012]

I agree. But did you really expect Bush to tell the truth about islam? I remember Franklin Graham saying after 9/11 that islam was an evil and wicked (or vile, not sure) religion, and look what happened. Graham was right, of course.

[Psalm 144]

“I agree. But did you really expect Bush to tell the truth about islam?”

No. But I would expect it of a Ronald Reagan, a Jeane Kirkpatrick, A Margaret Thatcher or a Winston Churchill.

[BilLies]

Being an Affirmative Action person does not make you Elite, it simply makes you part of the government welfare system, an legal entitlement based on color, gender or sexual orientation, but not need, potential or merit as compared with those not entitled to affirmative action.

Your graphics are always great.

[dirtboy]

For all the discussion of health care and spending and jobs, at the core of the nation’s debate this fall has been the battle of elitism.

The MSM keeps inventing new ways to misinterpret what is going on here.

[hinckley buzzard]

Never mind that Mr. Obama was raised in less exalted circumstances by a single mother who he said once needed food stamps. Or that although he went to private school, he took years to pay off his college loans

More lies from the Slimes. Obama's mother was an insider in the lucrative international nonprofit foundation community-- who do they think paid her to travel all around the world with no apparent job? He met Tim Geithner as a kid-- Geitner's father was involved in various overseas projects with Obamas mother.

Obama's mother took a year off to finish a doctoral thesis, and like a good liberal used her non-income producing student status to suck up food stamps from the taxpayers around her. I knew doctoral students who did the same thing when I was in grad school. It's an old well-known abuse.

Obama has been an elitist(state of mind anyway, not net worth) since birth and the Slimers know it.

[hinckley buzzard]

A lot of doctors are leftist in their thinking. They assume they will be among the ones on top. Of course. They're doctors after all. They think British NHS can't happen here.

[RobbyS]

No, he is the perfect tool of both the social elites and their radical cousins, all of whom despise the middles classes and treat the poor as lackies. Caesarism,pure and simple.

[RobbyS]

Don’t confuse them with the truth.
