Barack's "Bitter" comments made to the elite liberals in San Francisco the weekend before last are only symptomatic of his larger problem.

Is it just me, or does Barack Obama only appear smug?

From almost the beginning, I've felt that Barack Obama was looking upon persons like myself who would otherwise want to see us out of Iraq, as does he, and see the tax laws readjusted to support the lower income classes, as does he, as ... beneath his esteemed dignity.

A lot of it has to do with the smug look on his face during the debates--particularly since they have been reduced to two-person affairs. He may not even be aware of the condescending look on his face as he sort of tilts his head upwards and juts out his chin in a "is there anything at all being said that matters one whit to me?" look of disinterest.

But surely, his now-famous "bitter" remarks made in San Francisco seem to underscore the fact that he really is an elitist and is to be feared (in my opinion). If anyone has seemed totally out of touch with America and more "urban elitist" than the urban elite than Barack Obama, I don't know who that might be.

John McCain will eat the man alive in November, simply by being the humble "I am what you see" kind of person that he is. Yes, he might hold us in Iraq for a slightly longer duration than I would prefer, but he will listen to those around him and work hard to come to a consensus with the (likely) Democratic Congress.

And Barack? Who will even remember his name four or eight years from now as the country moves ahead?
