Drama from the DC Elite.
Cokie Roberts, a well known DC insider, didn’t like the choice of Sen. Obama to vacation in Hawaii. She saw it as too exotic and that he needed to vacation somewhere like, say, Myrtle Beach. Doesn’t matter that he had FAMILY IN HIS BIRTH STATE OF HAWAII, it like, some sort of exotic choice that “real ‘murkins” can’t really attain!
Oh The Crazy, It burns!
This is coming from a woman who has led an extremely prividleged life. Her father, a prominent Senator, her mother, ambassador to the Vatican. Her Brother, founding partner of one of the most influential DC lobbying firms. Her Family comes from New Orleans and they purport to love NOLA very much. However, I know that the NOLA they love is a NOLA with no poor people.I didn’t see her or any of her family members racing to save the ‘murkin city at all. In fact, they only stood to gain monetarily fro EXPLOITING IT. How do I know? I was once an employee of said influential lobbying firm. I watched it all happen. I also seriously doubt that if Cokie took the time to visit her mother (a resident of the French Quarter, I think…Unless she didn;t return after Katrina) no one would say a word…..
Now, you tell me who qualifies as an elitist.

If Obama was traveling to some truly exotic, as seen on VH1 designed to cater to the Holllywood elite location, I could see the validity of this criticism. However, given that Hawaii is one of the 50 states in our union, abet one that is kind of far a way, I have to concur that this woman is a rank moron of a middling grade.
