Remember the pretzel!?!?!?

"Republicans, stop calling Obama elitist (because the real reason you don't like him is because he's smarter than you)"

Ok, I'm not the biggest Bill Maher fan (especially lately-have you seen him? Homeboy looks like he's wearing a Bill Maher mask, it's quite alarming). It might be because he is even more dramatic than I am about the state of politics in this country and when faced with my own medicine, it makes me stressed. At least I can admit that. But I agree 100% with this piece.

Somewhere we decided that the president of our country should be just like "one of the boys". That's so weird to me. I don't want a president who's just like me; I want one who is better. I want one who is smarter. I want one that won't get a black eye from eating a pretzel, or, to be frank, suffer any kind of bodily harm from consuming bar food.*

Besides, can you really play the "elitist" card when McCain doesn't know how many houses he owns, and his wife wears a $300,000 outfit to sit in an audience and look Stepford-esque?

*Note: no, I never get tired of that story. Never ever ever.
