Hillary's off-the-wall "elite" comments

I watched the town hall meeting with HRC and Snuffleupagus yesterday, and I have to agree that Hillary's "elite" remarks were both wrong and worrisome:

“I think we’ve been for the last seven years seeing a tremendous amount of government power and elite opinion behind policies that haven’t worked well for hard working Americans,” she said.

“Elite opinion” hasn’t been “behind policies that haven’t worked well for hard working Americans”; elite opinion has been pushing in the other direction. Bush hasn’t been operating with the support of policy experts; he’s been blowing off policy experts as liberal eggheads who think too much. And now Clinton appears ready to join him.

A bit later she added:

“It’s really odd to me that arguing to give relief to a vast majority of Americans creates this incredible pushback… Elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that don’t benefit” the vast majority of the American people.

Good news: Barack won Guam and Dems won in LA.
