Davester..."your point is one of those typical BS stereotypes often thrown out by Joe Six-Pack types"
I think this country is made up of a lot more Joe Six-Pack types than Harvard elite.
That's nonsense. They are only "elite" in terms of their intelligence. Obama and most of his appointees are "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" types who have lived their lives in the real world. The type of "elite" you are talking about is for the most part a description of the leading republicans. The Bushes are the "elite of the elite" in this regard, having come into their fortunes and careers based on their inheritances and connections derived from an isolated and insanely rich dynasty of Bushes.
Nothing like the Kennedy's or Rockerfellers to punch a hole in that argument.
