Bill Clinton on Barack Obama’s suppoters:
In Clarksburg, Clinton contrasted his wife’s appeal to working-class people with the elitists he says support Obama. He made the same comparison two months when he last campaigned in West Virginia, calling his wife’s critics in the party “glitterati” and “elites.”
“The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it’s by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules,” he said in Clarksburg. “In West Virginia and Arkansas, we know that when we see it.”
Clinton said his wife’s primary challenger has “got so much money and it’s a different electorate. It’s a little more upscale and modern … than those poor people in Texas and Ohio.”
And all those poor people in California, Bill ?
I’ll say this much, for the Clinton’s to call someone elitist is about takes more chutzpah than even I thought they had.
