I'm glad to hear you were kidding. Unfortunately, you hear a lot of people who aren't.
On your other point: is Bush an elitist? I don't know. If he is he probably is no more of one than any other politician.
[Remember Kerry's wife, after the Tsunami, saying, essentially, that it was no big deal if the victims had to go naked for a while (almost implying "ah, they're naked savages anyway, what's the big deal").]
