Obama's now infamous remarks denigrating Mid-Western values at an exclusive San Francisco fund raiser on April 6th was quickly turned into a charge of elitism by the Clinton campaign. The contents of the speech was first released on April 11th post by the Huffington Report. By now the media and the blogs have all remarked on this theme of elitism. But I don't think that elitism is the real reason for his comments, I think it was Marxism. Many blogs point out that Obama was speaking to a so called elite group of San Francisco Progressives and that proves that his statements were elitist. But you should also remember that Progressives and Marxism go hand in hand. To prove my point, compare the following quote from Carl Marx with the quote from Obama.

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Carl Marx 

"So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, and they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." - Barack Obama 

Do you see the connection between Marx's oppressed creatures and Obama's bitter and frustrated citizens? Pay attention to what Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the Democratic, Progressive are saying. Because their idea of change is to implement communism.
