"It is a remarkable statement and extremely revealing," McCain advisor Steve Schmidt told reporters on board the McCain campaign plane today. "It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking. It is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Guess what middle class America is? Wait for it....bitter. Mostly because our government runs it's finances like a collage kid with his first credit card.

I don't call in sick, I show up to work and leave late every day. So you think I'm happy about $4 gas and a 12 billion dollar a month "war". You the one out of touch Steve.

Let us not distort the clear message that for over 25 years the hard working Americans have been ignored while the American jobs and technology are being shipped abroad for the benefit of few. The network of consultants,lobbyists and sections of corporate America do earn multiple millions from this sell out.

Obama said both Republican & Democratic administrations ( led by elitists) have not done enough to get small town America on its feet.

It is not condescending to alert people to the reality that politicians have been using their value system to avoid delivering a better deal? An Obama victory will put an end to Bill's bid for a third term. A victory in November will put an end to Bush' bid for third term
No wonder the elitists are the first to distort and create a firestorm to cover the message! Working America please wake up!
