Obama is no longer an elitist!
02-Aug-2012
More than 4 years ago when Republicans were campaigning against Obama the word Elitist was being thrown left and right. Obama was an elitist who had gone to Harvard and presumably didn't represent rednecks from the battleground red states! Notice how the phrase elitist has not been used for months! Dumbing down the candidates has been the Republican strategy for more than a decade!
In 2000 when Bush, Jr. was running for President he was being hailed as a President whom people could have a beer with. Al Gore an educated elected US Senator from Tennesee was too good for the country! 4 years later, when he couldn't remember who'd be at fault if he was fooled twice, he was still the dumbest president and John Kerry another educated US Senator was again too good for the country!
This dumbing down of the candidates culminated in John McCain selecting the dumbest of them all Sarah Palin as the VP in 2008 and Obama another educated US Senator being labled as an elitist! Sarah Palin was so dumb that blonde jokes were shelved and Tina Fey became an overnight sensation! Those who selected her became terrified and refused to let her talk to the press after they got a chance to talk to her AFTER she was selected! And you know what happened after press got to ask her a few questions! See the HBO movie Game Change for more!
Now back to being an elitist, just today we found out that Ann Romney has a throughbred horse in the Olympics! Now under any circumstances having a horse as a hobby would be considered a feather in an elitist's hat! An Olympic Horse!? You be the judge!
This is in addition to Romney admitting himself that he pays 10% in taxes (when he does pay taxes ;-) and having money stashed away in offshore banks and Cayman Islands to shield them from taxes! Not that there is anything wrong with it!
Then you have the Republican ads and Romney's talking points that Obama is against success and making it! Back in 2008 they were ridiculing Obama's success! What goes around comes around and I guess the rednecks from the battleground red states have now been given honorary GEDs paid for by the unlimited money that the Republican elites are spending in this campaign! Those rednecks are now looking for ways to stash their money in Cayman Islands to pay less taxes!
Photo caption: this is Darband in northern Tehran and the cars as shown by their diplomatic license plates are for "elite" international guests who were taken to have kabobs the day we were visiting! The street was closed to car traffic for renovations as I mentioned in an earlier blog but these cars made it through! The stonework pattern on the sidewalk shown in the photo is expected to pave the street the same way as we saw it further up where even these cars couldn't go.

Romney's horse was sucks!
by Esfand Aashena on Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:02 AM PDTSo much for betting on Romney's horse! Rafalca ended up 28 out of 32 in the Individual Dressage and dead last 7th out of 7th in the Team Dressage!
I guess you could say Romney's horse brought the US team down!

He obviously wasn't smart enough to stop the neo-colonialism of the Middle East and North Africa, and instead expanded it. Eloquence means little when you don't stand for Freedom, Human Rights or Democracy.

All I can say about Obama, elitist or not and Republicans….
by Bavafa on Fri Aug 03, 2012 07:48 AM PDTHeyfe noon!
Some of these Republicans in US do deserve the very same dumb and criminal leaders such as GWB/Cheney.
Obama is way too smart, articulated and rational for many of these folks.

Darius jaan "elitist" is no longer a bad word for rednecks!
by Esfand Aashena on Fri Aug 03, 2012 05:18 AM PDTMy point in this blog is that being an elite should not be a bad word but the dumb Republicans use it that way. Anyone who gets to be in that position is an elite!
Bush, Jr., Obama, Romney, McCain, Gore, all of them are of special breed to be able to get to that position. To get so many people to vote for you ofcourse is an accomplishment, win or lose.
Are you trying to say he is not an elite because he is not a conservative or god forbid not from royal blood?! I'll admit Prince chubby is an elite person only because he is rich! Otherwise he has not accomplished anything! Nothing! Though with his means he could have done a lot, he could've opened businesses and hired people and kept few people employed with honest living.
I think you had posted few blogs mentioning he had lost a lot of money. Basically squandered his wealth. They left Iran as one of the richest people in the world and had they invested their money right they'd have been on Forbe's richest people in the world. Oh well, so much for being an elite because of royal blood!
By the way, since you voted for Obama last time I urge you to vote for him again. His main accomplishment is passing a universal healthcare law, through lawsuits and a supreme court decision. I don't like his wishy washy position in the middle east politics and cornering himself on the Iran issue but between him and Romney he is much much better.
Right now the negotiations with Iran are at a stalemate. Iran can say they'll stop the enrichment and nothing will change. There is no way out and that's a shame.
