Well, I'm a little bit bitter.

citizen:

I can never figure out how the media can get away with calling Obama an out-of-touch elitist. Of all the remaining candidates, he’s got the least personal wealth, the least cushioned upbringing, overcome the most socio-economic barriers, spent the most time physically organizing and motivating marginalized communities in recent years, and didn’t depend on anyone else’s connections or money to get him where he is today. I can’t find anything in his personal history or world-view that would qualify him as an out-of-touch elitist. Anyone willing to take a good, hard honest look at him would undoubtedly reach the same conclusion.

You couldn’t have said it better if it came out of Obama’s own mouth.
