Elitism or Clouded Vision?

So today..... just like any other day, I spend a couple of hours during my morning to peruse various blogs and newspapers. Today I came across and article in the Wall Street Journal on Obama and his comments about Clarence Thomas. Over the past weekend, both Obama and McCain were invited to the Evangelical congregation at the Saddleback Church Forum. Both candidates attended as they are both competing for the overrated Evangelical vote (who are really a minority in America.. but that's neither here, nor there). Both Candidates were asked who they would have not appointed to the Supreme Court and Obama chose Thomas, along with Scalia and Roberts.

After reading blogs and random comments many people were slightly offended and taken aback by his comments and showed that this was another example of Obama's Elitism view of society. Jessie Jackson, who's ri-dunk-ulous and absurd comments got him in trouble recently, gave an interesting opinion, that others have whispered under their breath (for fear of being maimed and stoned to death from die hard Obama supports) and discussed in other closed quarters....

Has Obama in his attempt to Unify everyone and do everything to negate the idea of being a "Black President", presented himself to be more of an "Elitist" or are these the opinions of individuals with a very "Clouded Vision" of today's present day society?

Now this "Clouded Vision" can be an unintentional response to the constant negative stereotypes of Black men in society and those who stray from those stereotypes are seen as "sellouts" or "bougie". Or it could be that his "polished look" and charismatic voice are seen as fake by some people because "he can't relate to us". Regardless of the reason, as we approach the Democratic convention, I sincerely hope that this "clouded vision" begins to dissipate. This time, more than ever, the democratic party needs to get serious about bringing UNITY. Because, even though most wont admit it (and most of you know I don't give 2 cents about others opinions), I really believe in my heart that if Obama was a White male.... same age, educational status, work experience, same personality, commanding and attractive wife and stable family, with the exact same political views...... we would NOT be having so much discussion about whether he is "real enough", "experienced enough", "smart enough", "black enough", "Christan enough", and any other ridiculous divisive opinion.

Just my 06 cents about the situation.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.... I'M OUT... DEUCES!!
