As far as "Barack doesn't act better, he just tends to act more responsibly."...

*) He put "president" on the back of his chair in his luxury airplane as if he's already won and the rest of the way is just semantics...

*) In Philly, instead of stopping by Pat's or Geno's to take in a cheesesteak, Obama went to a specialty food store and sampled $100 Spanish ham...

*) “Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” the senator said. “I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.” - This was said in the middle of Iowa...a state that doesn't have a Whole Foods store in the whole state...besides...

"Customers and critics have occasionally referred to Whole Foods by the nickname "Whole Paycheck" because of the high prices of many of their products"...It's the "Mercedes of markets" that the farmers he was talking to couldn't even afford to go to if there even was one in Iowa...

And out of every vegetable or grain someone can think of when talking to farmers, he went with "arugula"?!?!?...I'm guessing 90% of the middle class in this country doesn't even know what the hell that is! (Add to that it's a plant that's not even local...It's found in the Meditteranean region, and only started being grown in America for less than 20 years)...

*) He has his convention speech on a set designed as a Greek temple...

*) He had his own presidential seal created...(went over like a lead balloon)...

*) He tells an upscale crowd in San Francisco that the middle-class workers in the midwest are bitter people and "cling to God and guns"...doesn't bother to say it to their face...
Irrelevant drivel... It has nothing to do with his ability to relate individually. His personal story is closer to the personal story of the majority of America than McCains... That's the pure and simple truth. While he may have become successful, he still knows where he came from and his policies show that. McCain knows where he is and has forgotten where he came from. His policies show that.

Characteristics of the "elite"

Attributes that identify an elite vary; personal achievement may not be essential. As a term "Elite" usually describes a person or group of people who are members of the uppermost class of society. Personal attributes commonly purported by elitist theorists to be characteristic of the elite include:

* Rigorous study of, or great accomplishment within, a particular field.
* A long track record of competence in a demanding field
* An extensive history of dedication and effort in service to a specific discipline (e.g., medicine or law)
* A high degree of accomplishment, training or wisdom within a given field
I guess Obama IS elite.

UPDATE - "Oh yeah...We were wrong"...

CBS ‘Early Show’ Admits Being Wrong on ‘$300,000' Cindy McCain Oufit

Quote:
On Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Russ Mitchell apologized for a Friday segment that estimated Cindy McCain wore a $300,000 outfit to the Republican convention: "Now, a correction. Last week, the Early Show aired an segment on an outfit Cindy McCain wore during the Republican National Convention. We estimated the total cost was more than $300,000. It turns out that dress is off-the-rack and the pearl necklace is not real. We regret the error."
