Organic Arugula Munchers

It is quite interesting how Barack Obama tried to add to his political “story” that he was not an elitist. The thing is though; there is no way around the true fact that he is a liberal elitist. Part of what he plans to do during the next four years is to not give school choice to parents that want alternates to the public schools. Yet it was reported that he has enrolled his children into one of the most elite private schools in Washington, D.C. At the beginning of the year we discussed in class what we considered to be an elitist. We came up with something like arugula lettuce munching, latte drinking, liberal elitist etc. This is what Barack Obama is. Even during one of his speeches the other day he was saying how hard it was to find organic arugula lettuce in Iowa, I mean really, who actually talks about buying organic arugula lettuce, unless you are within the upper class? It is all just a show to cover up what the real truth is behind it all.

I hope that even if Obama cannot relate to a specific aspect that he selects people that can. It is very important that the president can relate to the typical American citizen and their experiences.
