I also knew the instant I spotted Obama that he was a first rate phony. It is my Irish Catholic intuition and it never fails me. One thing about the middle class, we can spot a phony a mile away.

My father, uncles … all had a bottle of Crown Royal.

For the ladies, perhaps, Southern Comfort. Not MD 20/20 or White Lightning (or malt liquor) of the really poor, but clearly the working man's bar drink if he was drinking name brand shooters (most are fine with the happy hour special instead!). Never drank Crown Royal. It's always been Jack or Jim (or for my dad, Canadian Mist for liquor; and the #1 beer during the Korean war [complete with can opener], Pabst Blue Ribbon, for "beer call").

Since when did elitist mean uppity. Elitist means he thinks he is socially superior, and he does think he is socially superior. I don't give a damn what color he is. He is a horse's ass. He is not qualified to be president. He is not qualified to be president. Did you get that. It is that simple. He is not qualified to be president. I am so sick of the race card.

Andrea Mitchell's true colors showed when she called it the "bar scene from starwars." I would suggest she was insulting everyone in the bar on BO's behalf or at least trashing Hillary and the rest of the patrons because she can't help it. If she's still covering Hillary during the PA election it looks like we'll be seeing Andrea looking very sour (shades of Texas). True to form MSNBC diminished the whole episode.

I point to the writers of The Jon Stewart Show. They chose to use Clinton's choice of shot, Crown Royal, as a joke about her being an elitist (why just like Obama!) ... it would have been funny if it had not been so off. Crown Royal for elitist? Holy hangover Batman! My FIL is a flipping elitist? That Scranton native WWII veteran who lives in a double wide and won't shop anywhere else but Sears? Writers of the Stewart show obviously grew up somewhere else. My father, uncles ... all had a bottle of Crown Royal. All were low-wage earners who lived a simple but dignified life. And yes, we still have a purple sack somewhere we last picked up at FIL's. Me? I drink beer. Strong German or Canadian if you please. Just like my pappy taught me. He may have been classified poor, but he did not scrimp on the beer. RIP dad. I'll drink a llave (Becks) for you tonite.

The "man" isn't keeping Rev. Wright down. He is the "man"!! The sooner that people in this country, of all races and ethnicities learn that the great equalizer is money, the better off all of us without huge sums of money will be. People in this country fall into (2) categories, those with money and those without. It is usually those with money who take it upon themselves to try and divide the rest of us, knowing that it is better for their own long-term goals! When will people stop buying into this snake-oil crap! and isn’t interesting that Mr. Afro-centric decided to build an English Tudor style-McMansion.
