Reply #46: Definition of "elite". Actually know what a word means before tossing it around. [View All]

[elocs]

A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status.

"Economic status"--I think Senator Clinton and her husband have many more millions than the Obamas.

"Social (status)"--I think that Senator Clinton being a former First Lady and her husband being a former President have the Obamas beat on that point also with many more doors easily opened to them.

"Superior intellectual (status)"--right, I would give that one to Obama.

Both Clinton and Obama are of the elite inasmuch as they are members of a very exclusive club that only has 100 members--the U.S. Senate.

Clinton co-opts much of her husband's experiences as President as her own experiences and claims big points for just being there in order to make her more "qualified". Much of her "experience" is likely in the same class as her being under sniper fire.

I do not hate Senator Clinton either because hate is self destructive, but I, and many millions of other Americans have voted for Senator Obama or caucused for him because we believe he is the best choice for President, better than Senator Clinton, and to have you simply dismiss him as being a "joke" is pathetically sad.
