That is, isn't it amazing that Hillary Clinton has claimed recently, and mainstream news media outlets repeat this as well...
That Barack Obama, because he opposes Hillary's gas tax holiday, is an "elitist"?
One can argue over the merits of repealing, permanently or temporarily, gas taxes (I tend to think that reducing taxes is always a good thing.) One can also argue about whether Obama sometimes reflects elitist attitudes (I would argue that his statements suggesting that rural voters cling to guns or religion simply due to economic hardship means he probably does).
But Hillary Clinton accusing others of elitism? Please. For years she was first lady of Arkansas. Then she was First Lady of the United States (all thanks to her husband). Then she became a U.S. senator. News flash: wives of governors, and the First Lady of the White House, have access to lots of money and lots of perks. When was the last time Hillary Clinton bought her own hamburger or took her car down to the garage and waited for an oil change?
And have we forgotten the Clintons' income of $109 million last year????
Hillary Clinton calling somebody else an "elitist"?
It's like Roger Clemens lecturing others on ethics.
