It is not OK for Sen Obama to ridicule or dismiss with comptempt, the remarks and disagreements of his opponents. And futher more his Annie Oakley remarks were sexist to say the least. If he would like to engage in a debate over opposing views, there is no reason to revert to that kind of behaviour. It shows a def elitis attitude toward people who do not agree with him. SirScud,

I thought to myself that his ridiculing her, and misconstruing her remarks, about being taught to shoot by her father as a child, showed the elitism that I do think Sen Obama is really guilty of- intellectual elitism. He may not have grown up rich, and may not have been a child of privilege, but he has grown up to be the kind of intellectual elitist who thinks that he is smarter than any one else, and that his philosophy is the correct one. Sen Obama seems to dismiss, with ridicule and sarcasm, and a snicker, any one who opposes his philosophies. I am thinking this is bordering on a very narcissistic and yes elitist tendency.

I think he still doesn't get that it isn't as much about bitter as the values he degrades of folks that he apparently deems more common than he. I think he shot himself in the foot again by comparing her to Annie Oakley. He sounds very petulant in the clip that I saw of this and the media seems to love this sound bite. Comparing her to Annie Oakley will win her points with the gun crowd and also the cowgirl loving crowd! Wonderful letter.

Thank you for an excellent letter. You have written it all down far better than I could have written it, and at the same time expressed all of my feelings towards this man. When I saw the video of him making those mocking statements, looking at his feet and chuckling, I was sickened. I would be extremely happy if this person would just go away and give America a break. A mile wide and an inch deep. Out of touch? More like out of his desperately small mind. He keeps the insults coming, and I keep donating to Senator Clinton. Something good has to come of this.

Wait a second. Obama made these statements about small town USA not only in front of elitist rich people in Pacific Heights…

But it was a fundraiser at a multi-millionaire’s mansion with many millionaires present and the media was disallowed. So, he was speaking as though no one else would find out.

The mansion is owned by multi-millionaire “Pakistan native and ardently Muslim Sohaib Abbasi (CEO of Informatica)”….
