With all the recent media much to do over nothing about Obama’s comment on bitter Pennsylvanians and the ensuing judgement declaring that Obama is elitist in the worst way possible leads to ask this question: What is wrong with Elitism?

According to Answers.com this is the following definition of elite:

e·lite or é·lite (ĭ-lēt’, ā-lēt’) pronunciation
n., pl. elite or e·lites.

1.
1. A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status: “In addition to notions of social equality there was much emphasis on the role of elites and of heroes within them” (Times Literary Supplement).
