2008 Lose Obama President

Barack Obama's graduation from the prestigious Harvard Law School, sophisticated oration and obvious intelligence have earned him a label as 'elitist.'

One abcnews article reported him as saying "It’s true that both the republicans and my opponents to some degree have been trying to paint me as this elitist out of touch...It's hard for me to figure that out given that I was raised with far fewer advantages than [Clinton and McCain]. I don't want to go out of my way to prove my street cred as a down to earth guy." ("Elitist? Obama Says Nah- He's Got 'Street Cred as a Down to Earth Guy'", abcnews, April 25, 2008.)

Obama as a Regular Guy

However, Obama seems committed to coming across as an average husband and father. The Independent reported that "Obama, taking a little time out from campaigning, working out, visiting his sick granny and saving the free world, he took [daughters] Malia and Sasha out trick-or-treating. And what did he do the morning after the most historic election victory of all time? Drove them to school. He also takes out the rubbish and reads them Harry Potter stories."
