I think its more fair to say that she doesn't like him because he's an African-American. Lets call it what it is. Everyone reading the article can see thats what she's really trying to say, and many Americans feel the same way. They don't want an African-American as President.

It was ok when African-Americans were slaves and tending to the fields, producing crops, cooking in homes, and caring for kids. But no one wants an African-American as President of this country. Its a shame that racist views like this still exist today.

One smart lady.

Women WILL decide THIS election and all future ones.

We are not so easily deceived by a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Women are used to being lied to and tricked- we are used to being manipulated. We are GREAT at seeing it.

Don't piss down MY back and tell me its raining.

Oh.. and Roe v Wade? Not going anywhere. As Obamabots point out we had 8 years of REPUBLICAN RULE. Roe v Wade? Still here.

Lorna, you are absolutely correct - it is conscious and unconscious racism. God help us all.

Welcome to the cause!

McCain/Palin 08

Yes, instead of headlining this story

"Prominent Clinton Backer and DNC Member endorses McCain"

it would have been much more to the point to say:

"Married-in Member of Historic Banking Dynasty endorses McCain!"

Rothschild, my God… the word is synonymous with filthy stinkin' rich.

Another woman for the liberal left to spit on and stomp on because she does not trust Obama? No wonder Hillary Clinton is not going to the Jewish event for Obama–she she is probably tired of the left and their hypocrisy. It doesn't take much for you liberals to trash another woman because she is doing the right thing! If Hillary does not do Obama"s bidding you will return to trashing her the way you did in the primaries.

Mrs. de Rothschild is not a Democrat. She is only "prominent" because she has lots of money. Frankly, I think she is wrong and I think that it is not news that some rich people will support McCain. I am a Democrat and I support our ticket. I also support Hillary. Hillary has moral values. I don't think Mrs. de Rothschild has moral values.

To Del Sol,

Are you serious? You actually think that Obama has shifted positions on issues more than McCain? You can't be that ignorant can you? This is what scares me…this election is decided by uninformed idiots that vote for someone, because they were a "war hero," rather than on how they would actually run this country.

You know, I need to switch doctors. I think I'm going to pick the doctor that was in Vietnam. I don't care that he didn't go to medical school, or that he's had numerous malpractice suits. He's my doctor because darn it, he's a war hero!

Wow another "american woman" married to a rich guy from Europe that is out of touch with how far blacks have come in this country. She is the poster child for true elite, snobby, and just plain mean humans that cannot handling losing!

I am not saying I am voting for McCain, but there ARE a lot of disappointed people out there. Obama did not unite the party, how is he going to unite the country? The Sarah Palin pick is a double edged sword, because she 1) appeals to certain women 2) aggravates other women and reminds them Barack didn't pick our role model
3) highlights his thin resume by shining the light on her thin resume.
McCain was not exactly toeing the Bush line with this pick, he is doing whatever it takes to win, and it shows grit and resolve folks, unlike Obama who is playing it safe all the time by listening to to many advisors. People are going to vote for the top of the ticket and for the above reasons, perception is keen.

As I was reading your article, I was looking for her reasoning since maybe she sees something I don't (I'm looking at a war that shouldn't have been waged taking the lives of our men and women each day and sinking our economy–something McCain promises to continue). And then I found it. It's simply because she doesn't like Obama. Wow, I wish I felt that like I could cast my vote based on something that selfish, but she does have the luxury of living in London when things fall apart should McCain win.

Sore loser is pretty much all her endorsement amounts to.

the amerian electorate is one of the dumbest in the world

Dubya was a horrible president, and McCain will probably not be much better

the people that are voting for McCain will get what they deserve if he is elected - watch folks, see what happens

It's a hard decision because she doesn't like him (Obama)? It sounds like it is a decision based purely on the fact that she doesn't like him. If she was supporting Hillary because of her policies or because of women's issues, she could not, would not vote for McCain. Sitting this one out would make more sense for a "true Hillary supporter"

PRIDE! Yes, Pride goeth before the fall…… we see it over and over.

Obama was top of the world, a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
What happened? He thought he could do it on his own thin resume, and refused to pick HILLARY for VP.

Now he will find himself at the bottom of the world.. back to first year
rookie Senator without all the perks—- instead of Commander in Chief. That's what PRIDE does.

And Streisand's 90 million event won't buy him the position. We vote for the person, not the hoopla.

»WELL DONE,LYNN FORESTER. Good.

The Clintons are rattle snakes disguised as geckos. Hillary and Bill are doing much back biting in this campaign. They can not stand to loose. This just demonstrate that the Clintons are not who people thought they were. Even if Obama loose, I will never vote for a Clinton ever again. Too much has happened. How in the hell can a man with Obama’s background be considered an elitist? His background demonstrates that America is full of opportunity. These Republicans will stoop to any level to bash a democrat. It is, however, unfortunate that some people can not see past color. It's going to take a major catastrophe for some of these so-called supreme being to unite with people of color. Otherwise, oppressed views will forever run this nation.

Obama is a radical Muslim. CNN will not report any information about his past. They are hiding information about him from the American people. They are protecting him. Why? They only post comments they want people to read. He is a Manchurian Candidate!!

So What!! She was not really a Democrat anyway, just someone out for the glory of who cares what!
Probably in McShames pocket and frankly I have never heard of the woman till I read this article!
We need to wake up folks and talk about what is going on in our world, we are in desparate times and need someone who tells the truth and has a plan, that person is OBAMA

I had to laugh a little at her vogue pose. She could easily be viewed as every bit elitist as she would claim Obama to be. But since I don't know her, I can't really say.

Perhaps she saw how incredibly easy it was for Palin to achieve her 15 minutes of fame that she thought she'd give a try?

Obama is not elitist. If anyone takes the time to delve more into his life, his experiences, and how those experiences come to shape his perspective, they will know he is anything but elitist.

It is truly curious as to why he gets called this. I have to wonder if it is based on some kind of prejudice; is he called elitist because there are those who think he should "keep his place." Do they resent his confidence?

Anyone can say something loud enough and long enough, and whether or not it holds merit, there will be those who are all too willing to believe what someone else tells them is so.

Well she is a super rich white woman, I think she is in the wrong party to start with, she'd be more at home with the greedy old party and people of her own "tint". But Obama elitist? If he were white and pulled himself up by his own bootstraps like he has, I bet she'd be right on board. but since he's not of the right "shade", she "doesn't like him"
Uhhuh… Its very clear where she's coming from.

i dont think she needs to be on the platform commitee ,anymore.

And who is she again!!

I see someone here referred to Palin as a 'lightweight ninny'. To this fine example person, and others who may share this opinion, this 'lightweight ninny' has more life experience, more business experience, and more executive level government experience than Obama could even dream of. Granted, she's not it the pockets of liberal special interest groups, spent most of her time as governor dreaming about being VP, or had Oprah clamoring all over her, but the fact is that the Republican candidate for VICE PRESIDENT has more experience and is better qualified than the Democrat candidate for PRESIDENT. Even people within your own party see that.

Well, to me this is nothing but sexism and racism combined. Nothing else. Hope she can leave with the consequences of her choice.

Ok… Her last name is Rothschild. She's rich, but she thinks Obama is an elitist. Yet, he was raised by a single mother and worked his way up. She's rich, and lives in NY & London. Again, her last name is Rothschild… But according to her, he's an elitist? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle, "BLACK?"

Wait… I think I've found the real reason.

White America will be the minority and she don't like that. She is just mad the her candidate LOSS. No fault of Obama. The best American won.

I thought that were going to get past the whole PUMA-thing, no? Way to unify the party, people. I dread the next four years under McCain-Palin rule. Thanks for nothing, you bitter losers.

»WELL DONNE,Lynn Rochester.WELL DONE. GOOD.

TO ADAM:

FYI: It is MCCAIN who has attended ZERO meetings on Afghanistan! Get your facts straight!

She has been and always will be a PHONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE ARE RICH ELITISTS LIKE OBAMA WHO LOOK DOWN THIER NOSES AT OTHERS AND THAN THERE ARE RICH PEOPLE LIKE ROTHSCHILD WHO DO CARE ABOUT THOSE NOT AS FORTUNATE AS THEMSELVES.

IT'S NOT A SIN TO BE RICH…..IT'S A SIN HOW YOU LET MONEY USE YOU AND HOW YOU TREAT OTHERS AS LESS THAN YOU…..AGAIN, LIKE HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!

SO GET OVER IT MEAN SPIRITED RACIST LIBERALS….ROTHSCHILD HAS SEEN THE LIGHT AND IS VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND PALIN.

Nevermind that every financial crisis, depression and recession was created by the Republicans since the early 1900's. That includes the current one. Lets back McCane who by his own admission knows nothing about the economy or even a computer. Four more years of failed Republican policies is what McCain will bring. So let your racist attitude steer your vote and tough for the country. Typical of the rich.

KEL - "If she was a REAL Democrat she would support Obama but it seems that she is not. I wonder if Obama being black has anything to do with it? LOL"

Hmmm…so anyone who chooses to NOT vote for Obama is now a racist? Wow. Maybe both parties are starting to do what they should have done long ago…start supporting future leaders on their qualifications, instead of their party affiliations. Now there's an idea.

Let's not forget, we're trying to elect the next American President, the most powerful person on the planet, not president of the student council at your local high school. No one will ever agree with a presidential candidate on 100% of the issues, but in a world with powerful countries like China, Russia and Iran, who do you want protecting us? I've only voted Republican once in my life, this year will be the second time.

P.S. For all of you complaining about CNN covering this story, if you are looking for Pro-Obama/Anti-McCain news go to Yahoo or MSNBC. You are on the wrong site, CNN is attempting to be balanced here.

McCain/Palin '08

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

I think it is mighty funny that so many repubs have something to say about this article…but yesterday on the article about the former Sec of State saying McCain was wrong on his stance on Georgia, you could hear a pin drop! Some of you don't have the good sense that God gave you!

So, I say to those like this woman…let the door hit you where the good Lord split you! Peace!

This lady is right - Hillary was good and McCain is 2nd in line. It's not about the party, it's about the person.
Obama needs another 10 yrs of experience so that we can review his record - review his record and read his books folks - we have !
Jack Carlson
Seattle Wa

…. Most of you dimwit-ocrats on here labeling people as racists for not supporting Barry-O need to get a grip. That attitude will cost him a lot of votes in November. I am not supporting Barry-O for the same reasons I have NEVER supported a dim. I can not vote for naive, pandering populists that hide there socialist views from their supporters.

A CEO thinks Obama is Elitist.
Her name should be Mrs. Ironic.
We don't need you elitist millionaires who want tax breaks for the rich from McSame!
Please let the door hit you on your way out!

It is understandable that a more centrist Liberal Hillary supporter will decide to endorse John McCain.

Barack Obama is a far left Liberal that was nominated under that platform and after defeating Hillary he has pretended to be a centrist in efforts to appeal to those that did not support him during the primaries. Obama is now wearing the Democratic Party suite but if elected he will strip from it and return to being the Leftist that he is.

I wish that more people will wise up to the mistakes that Howard Dean and others made by hijacking the presidential nomination to the far left.

The press needs to stop taking the bait on these releases. This is a non-issue yet it gets a top spot on the headlines. This is a useless person. If she was a strong Hillary supporter, there is NOTHING in the McCain-Palin ticket that would match her policies or view.

This jet-setting person calling Obama an elitist is not worth the space she has received. Please news media, stop covering these diversionary things….You are playing into the hands of a campaign that openly hates you for daring to question.

Another Clinton turncoat who doesn't get her way. Go figure. If ever there was a candidate for the sterilization of idiots, it would definitely be this stupid woman. Lynn, you're a moron. I wonder if she's still in the good graces of the Clintons if she helps McCain win?

GO OBAMA!!!

Just like in the 1960s and the dawn of the Civil Rights movement, we had to clean house and get rid of so-called Democrats/Dixiecrats who were against change then and who eventually became members of the modern day Republican Party. Change is upon us again and as a democracy, we have to do the same thing again.

People/Democrats who weren't for real change and who are now realizing how much they're really against it within their "own party" are now realizing how similar their views and opinions are like that of the Republican Party.

This house cleaning takes place every 30 to 40 years where we have to make sure that as a party we have to make sure that we have real democrats leading our party and our nation. Rarely do we see this reversal of political views of Republicans who eventual become Democrats.

This isn't something new, but something we should expect and acknowledge. Change is not merely a word but an action that some will embrace while others will refute and reject. It's that simple.

lol what a joke! Loyality to the party means nothing to some of you people. I guess some of you who are/were only voteing for a woman and are now changeing sides don't see the sexism!!!

Womans rights - It's still no ones bussines on aboration!
Economy - How many more jobs must be lost under the republicians?
Oil - The rich get richer and the morons change sides!
Food prices, global warming, etc etc etc…Some of you are to blind to see, you would sell your sole just to see a woman in the White House, to bad people like you can vote! A woman president one day! YES…but no mcbush no mcpalin.

»GREAT NEWS!…WELCOME to the WINNING Ticket/Team(McCain/Palin) Aaah!….AWESOME NEWS!!…Aaah!

Obamabots mistakenly believe "elitism" is confined to wealth.
Obama's arrogance is a turnoff to many voters and NO - "uppity" has never been confined to the color of ones skin.
But Obamabots continue playing that Race Card….

Demorats are bashing a prominent party figure who gave her time and money to help their cause, but who saw through the hype and couraged- up.

You Democrats are a shameful lot.

Good to have the salt of the earth Rothschilds, real common, blue-collar working folk, as lookouts for elitist politicians. What's next? Ken Lay excoriating Congress for being greedy? Bill Gates accusing the Senate of being a bunch of geeks? Maybe Paris Hilton can ream out the Supreme Court for being vapid.

Pot, meet kettle.

Well, I have a question for all you who say you don't know Obama or don't know what he stands for. At this point, do you know what McCain stands for? More to the point, are you really thinking about this country?

McCain's policies are troubling to those who aren't making 5 million a year. He supported bailing out Bear Sterns, but said those that were about to lose their homes that they were SOL (sh!t outta luck). Now he suddenly is against helping out AIG? Maybe they didn't give enough to his campaign. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Not to mention that if you are really against Obama due to experience, Pallin has even less, no matter what you think about an 18 month govenor. She has barely left the state, and Alaska is more an island off on it's on that a template for the average American lifestyle. She scares me more than McCain does.

And so the exodus away from Obama begin ……..at last.

Barack Obama and all Americans should heed the words of Oscar Wilde - "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."

John McCain has served this country with distinction; he is loyal; he is honest; he is strong in the face of he enemy; he will protect us and our families; and he will work with both sides of the aisle on the pressing agenda items of our day. This man will likley run a single term, and as God is my witness I believe he will do absolutley the best for our country without regard to race, gender, or politics.

Of all the candidates that have come and gone, I would say he is one of the few I wouldn't care if I met personally. However, I vote for the person I think would be the best president at the current time and the one who's views are most like mine. Of the two left, Obama is the one I currently feel would be the best choice. And, yes, I did vote for Clinton. When she left the race, I looked at who was left and then made my choice. I have also consistently voted for McCain as my Senator.

This is nothing more than a case of the pot calling the kettle BLACK……

Oh my gosh. Who cares? Really CNN? REALLY? This country is going down the tubes and you focus on this nonsense. Holy cow, I'm gonna have to watch C-Span and PBS for my news now. This is ridiculous. I am so sick of the main stream media.

Oh mon dieu mes enfants. Mme de Rothschild can really spot the elitists among us. It is to laugh, n'est pas?

Of course she in - she's rich. This doesn't affect her or her wealth.

Ridiculous article CNN.

Good for you!!! I supported Hillary Clinton as well, and I now I support John McCain. Barack Obama is inexperience, a good orator, but that's about it. We need someone with experience and who truly deserves the trust of the American people. Barack Obama is not reliable, unpatriotic and a novice next to John McCain.

Check out the pearls! And Obama is the elitist?

What a joke.

I wonder if Hillary will have a resonse to this. She and Bill are strangely absent from this contest.

Got their eyes set on 2012, I suspect.

Good for her…im McCain-ocrat…the 18 million who voted for Hillary need to back McCain……GO MCCAIN!

So.

That Lynn Forester de Rothschild said: “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him.” ….I don't like him….Mmhhhhhhh!! What is it which is deep down inside her which makes her not to like him? You can simply infer….nothing more nothing less

She is simply Sean Hannity in a dress? According to her…she would rather vote for McCain who is bad policy-wise than vote Barack Obama who is good..And why is that….."She can't frankly like him"

Is that enough reason not to vote for a man?

This racism - quite awake and alive! Let this presidential race expose racism for the world to see>>>>And let McCain be the President. He will help America.

The wonderful aspect of our Democracy is that my vote counts just as much as hers.

As a matter of fact, it counts a little more because my vote in Ohio means alot more to Sen. Obama than her vote in New York does for Sen. McCain.

People like this have self-destructive personalities and fail to realize that Sen. Clinton's best chance to ever occupy the Oval office is to do EVERYTHING that she can to make sure that Sen. Obama is elected this November.

If he is not elected, Sen Clinton's future presidential aspirations will be negatively affected by the actions of these PUMA's. I hope it doesn't come to this.

This woman calling Mr. Obama an elitist. She splits her home between Europe and the States and has god knows how much jewelry on her and is married to a sir … and she is a Rothchild. Hey lady, look in the mirror.

Something is not right with this woman. Its apparent that she is not for Hillary based solely on the policies, issues, and improvement of America. I would respect her more if she said, "I don't like Obama because of his view on abortion, tax-breaks, or etc." But to not vote for him because you don't like him is beyond me. As a democrat, I didn't like Kerry in 2004, but I darn sure voted for him in comparison to Bush. I know some people don't like to talk about race and that's fine. But when will we realize the big gorilla in the room? If your not for Hillary's policies, then what are you for overall. The real question should be what are you against ??

How Disgusting ! I'm not playing the race card folks but this is an outrage ! As An American who happens to be a women /who happens to be Black I'm tired . How dare this still go on. If Obama was a white man we would not be going through this. With this economy it would be a landslide. How is it that blacks support white candidates for years with no question and black candidates are not taken serious. Here now for the first time we have one that's the nominee ,intellegent and we call him elite. Why blacks can't be educated? To say you don't relate is to say he doesn't look like me. How many people want you local grocery store clerk, Mailman, Teacher , Waitress at your local pub to have the most important job in the country ? Lets be real think about your future and children.

Let's forget about race and gender and talk about party allegiance. I don't think anyone signed a dotted line in blood stating that because I voted democratic in the past that I will for my entire life. I know many blacks who are raised in the church and do not believe in abortion who have been taught by our parents that we must be democrats. I believed that for most of my life until I started to open my eyes. Tradition is one thing and doing what you believe is right is another. So this crap about how can someone vote for McCain/Palin if they were a true democrat does not work. Be true to yourself and not to a party.

The rich are getting nervous!!!

Some would rather follow McCain to the gate of hell for Bin Laden (where he isn't), weather financial ruin and suffer the lose of liberty in the form of pro-life than follow Obama into a period of green energy, stablity with the world and economic recovery.

Lady de Rothschild, along with her British husband, are extremely wealthy and own numerous homes in England and other parts of the world. I believe Lady de Rothschild spends the majority of her time in England and quite possibly pays no (or a substantially reduced) US income tax (she's another loophole). This is nothing more than a personal vendetta against Obama which amuses the Lady.

Use your brains people. If McCain/Palin win this election there might not be an America in which to vote after 4 more years, let alone one in which to vote for Clinton in 2012. It's really sad people are that stupid.

»GREAT NEWS!….Aaaaah!…I knew it!….The WONDERFUL SarahPalin will be the next Vice-President and the GREAT man John McCain the new President. »YES!

The fact that someone that is an elitist herself calls someone else an elitist is ridiculous. Add her to the list of LYING Republican surrogates.

All of you who were once Democrats (so you called yourself) and supported Hillary really do not understand the issues or know who you are if it's so easy for you to change sides. Sounds sexist and racist to me. I'm just calling it what it is. It's people like you who aid in the on-going suffering of so many Americans. And what sense does it make to vote for McCain in '08 then say you will vote for Hillary in 2012??? Seriously, that's ridiculous. That goes right back to the first statement I made. Wake up and pay attention.

So.. how much money is she gonna make for her self out of this?

WHO CARES…………………….NO ONE

This is very simple, McCain/'08 Clinton'12. I can't wait until Hillary get to be president, after the Dems when all crazy for Nobama , '12 is our only hope for a brighter future.

This woman would certainly know the meaning of "elitist". She likely sees its best representation every morning when she looks in the mirror. Go ahead and let her join the McCain liars. By the way, how many houses and credit cards does she have?

Obviously this person was not voting for the issues. To her, it's all a popularity contest. She may as well be voting for high school superlatives.

A Rothschild accusing a former food stamp kid of being an elitist. How rich, if you'll pardon the expression.

Who is this woman and why do we care?

She never truly believed in Clinton if she could switch to McShame because they are two completely different politicians with different policy views, ethics, and morals. She's jumping ship to a loser. Good riddens.

a ROTHSCHILD is calling Obama elitist?

Ahhh - someone else who wants to stoke a gender war.

With Fannie, Freddie and now AIG under government hands, why don't you ask McCain how he intends to pay for any tax cut, Miss Money Bags???? Do you also have 7 houses?

We are all talking about experience. We forget that most of our greatest leaders of the history of earth made a movement or made a change without experience. For example, look at the Rev Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. He beleive something was true in his heart and made a movement and made a change that will forever change our of our lives. Did he have experience. Look at Jesus Christ and Moses, they believed in something that is true to their heart and look what happen christianity is a huge on earth. You can go on and on how many leaders of the history of earth had made a change in all of our lives. Great leaders all is a character you are born with. Something burning in your heart that is true and you believe you can make a change. Some true leaders have special talent to make people work together and make a win for all. Believe that change may be on its way. Could it be Barack…maybe….

If you seriously believe the McSame/Failin ticket will bring "change we need," I'd love to have some of whatever you're smoking. The Republicans are the party that wrecked America.

Repeat that after me: Republicans Are the Party That Wrecked America.

are you kidding, with a last name of Rothschild, this woman has the nerve to call Obama elitist? she doesn't like him? way to make decisions on the issues.. history will show that Obama was the victim of racism more than any female candidate has been the victim of sexism.

How selfish of her to put the United States future at stake just because she has some personal dislikes against OBAMA. If she supported the views of Hillary she should support the views of Obama. Simply Stated.

Uuuummmmm WHO'S the elitist here? Woman please…

She's really upset because she falls within that group that makes over $250,000 and is going to get taxed more. Poor baby.

If she decides to take questions someone please ask her what policies of John McCain does she support?

If I didn't like Barack Obama and couldn't bring myself to vote for him, there is no way in the world I could bring myself to vote for someone who policies are against everything I believe in.

God Bless her, I'm sure she will be great no matter who wins. If only we all were billionaires.

I'm not rich, however a small businesswoman and was supporting Hillary - and I would not vote for Barak Obama if someone gave me a million dollars.
It has nothing to do w/race as I was hoping for Colin Powell to run for Pres in 2000 and 2004 - it's about Obama's record….take the time to secure a list of his votes in the Chicago and the very slim record he has in Washington.
Janice Johnson
Woodbury, Mn

I also will NOTvote voor Obama but i will also not vote for mcain I do not trust Obama the way he play the game aginst hillery very dearty what he did so no no obama for me i will not vote this year.

It takes an elitist to know an elitist. Obama 08!

Oh wait…

The media is blind to Obama's stealth tactics because they are TOTALLY awed by his image and rhetoric.

How can they be so naive as to miss all the underhanded agitating for his cause that Obama instructs and commands? Pay attention to HOW Obama advances himself- not to the speeches.

I believe the same thing happened in Wurope during the 1930s- the people were following and adoring and obeying and jumping at the directives of their chosen, charismatic, inspiring orators.

They ended up with tyranny.

STOP THE MARCH TO TYRANNY NOW!

And she call herself a clinton supporter. I am worried more about the company the Clinton's keep, if she is one of their strongest supportors. Did this fool just say Obama is an Elitist? You know what I call this?…………………..HIDDEN RACISM…………….

Who?

Who the eff is Lynn Forrester de Rothchild. Anyone with a name like, and a 'de' in their name is elitist. deRothchild. Ok so some ignorant, racist white lady says the liars like Palin and McCain can be trusted over Obama. Give me a break.

She is coming to the candidate who really has experience and can do something in Washing ton. McCain knows how to reach across the aisle, Obama couldn't even reach out to Hillary. I don't blame her supporters for ditching Obama - he is disrespectful of women, right sweeties? How many women in his campaign staff? How come you never see Michelle on the road? Cindy McCain is everywhere John goes.

There are so many more registered Democrats than Republicans. That's the little secret the GOP doesn't want you to know.

11,000,000 more registered Democrats in this country than Republicans. - thats 11 million more.

Polls mean nothing. .

Apparently she only supported Hillary because she was female, not because of what she stood for. Obama and Hillary are extremely similar in their ideologies. It's hard to understand how she can call Obama elitist when he owns one home (McCain 7) and has a very minor fraction of worth the McCains have. This makes no sense. The conclusion would have to be that she is like many other shallow women in this country who are voting on gender alone and not the issues. And I suppose she and her husband, like McCain, have enough money not to care about our failing economy…

VERY WISE DECISON !!! GO WITH THE WINNERS !!!!

When a prominent member of the DNC supports McCain, I would say the Democrats are in trouble.Being a lifetime Democrat it was very hard for me to make the switch also.
it is not the mainstream Democrats who put Nobama where he is today,but the ones, who as soon as they make their millions will switch to the Republican side.

At the end of the day, It's only ONE person and I mean ONE! That has the final say, I don't care how much money you have, how may countries, states you live in, how much wealth you have, because GOD is and will forever be in CONTROL! You know, it's sad to judge a person because of the color of his skin (that's the bottom line) God made him in HIS image not Lynn Forester, Fox news, PUMA's, CNN, MSNBC etc. LET'S JUST BE PATIENT AND SEE WHAT GOD SAY AFTER ALL! ALL POWER IS IN HIS HAND NOT MAN. YOU PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP! YOU THINK IT'S BADS NOW YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET!

I voted for Hillary in the primary (in a "swing state) and I'll be voting for John McCain in November. I'll be doing this since John McCain is a true patriot, a war hero, some one with character, someone who has ACTUALLY demonstrated bipartisan work. Since Obama does not have any of the above qualities, qualifications the choice is clear.
I sympathize with this lady and share the dislike towards Obama- the arrogant elitist.

I totally agree with the woman. I would vote for Hillary but NOT for Obama. Obama was afraid to have a woman on HIS ticket, unlike REAL men. Well, if he didn't respect Hillary then he can explain WHY!!!
Obama is now toast!!!

If you can't stand another irrational response, or any more rhetoric about why attacks/questioning of Obama is legitimate but the same questions or standards applied to McCain/Palin are not, I have a simple solution:
volunteer for the Obama campaign.

Register new voters. Talk to your neighborhood about why Obama IS the right choice. You'll quickly realize that there are legions of voters who see right through the flip-flopping hypocrisy of the deregulator/regulator, maverick/Republican lapdog, "honorable"/dishonorable candidate named McCain.

Si se puede! Yes we can!

any one standing in the way of history will not end up good.

Big deal. Let her endorse McPain. Just goes to show how big money and big oil all stick together in the end.

OBAMA gets our vote!

I honestly cannot believe the people who stand behind McCain/Palin ticket. You are either the very rich here in the U.S.A or you would vote the party if a monkey were running. I suppose you all approve of the war and women having no say as to what to do with their bodies or have the right to make the same pay as men. I suppose our education system is in no need of help and our health care system is enjoyed by all. Pathetic, ignorant and unfeeling. And to all of you Hillary supports who have jumped ship, SHAME ON YOU. You were never a Hillary supporter to begin with since the McCain/Palin ticket do not support any of the issues Hillary supported. Sad, very sad.

Another NON-Demorcrat voting for McCaint. Spare me.

I trully would love to hear the reasons she trusts McCain/Palin. Mylady- you set ALL women back a thousand years or more. This proves having a lot of money doesn't mean you have good common sense.

YES! Obama was arrogant enough to think he could get Hillary's votes–well, he'll see in Nov. we are voting for McCain instead. He's far more likeable than Obama.

Funny how she called Obama an elitst when she splits her time living in London and New York. How many Americans can say that?

THIS ONE IS AFRAID THAT OBAMA WILL RAISE HER BANKING FAMILY'S TAXES. AMERICA DON'T BE FOOLED. MS. ROTHCHILD REMEMBER, THOSE TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED. This is why I can't understand why they call Obama elitist. Here is a man who had humble beginnings and worked had to attend great schools (And just finished paying his student loans off. Did Ms. Rothschild have to get student loans?) Instead of taking a lucrative job on Wall Street he went "To The Street" to help those in need. He sacraficed making money to help others. Isn't that someone that you want in the White House? Someone who is not consumed with themselves and someone who doesn't make empty comments like this woman has made, "I frankly don't like him." This sounds like personal and empty crap that we don't need anymore. I just wonder if Ms. Rothschild would sacrafice succeeding to her family fortune to help someone else. The money that she donated to Clinton was more than likely built on the backs of her family members. Is she really someone whose opinion the average Americans can take seriously? I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!

It's really sad how this people in this country can debase themselves by making an historic desicion based on color, gender, or whether or not a person's name sounds "American enough". The truth of the matter is this: America is not ready for true change. We are still stuck on race, and gender. Whether one is for Obama or McCain, to use such ignorant tactics to debase another candidate is childish! Research the candidates for yourself and make a decision based on the facts, not on someone's feelings.

More of her kind in democarty party will do the same at the polling booth on election day. Great news for McCain/Palin.

Your name is De Rothschild and you are calling someone an elitist. The pearls around her neck cost more than my house. As for Del Sol if you dont know Obama's positions you havent been reading them. That's all he has been talking about for months now. I'm a veteran to and just because someone is a war hero doesnt mean they would make a great president.

I have to agree with my fellow citizens. This remarkable change in party afiliation is nothing more than racism. If it is possible to expell someone from the party, she should certainly be given notice.

Every party has a pooper, and she's it. Too bad her pick will lose in a landslide and she will lose all credibility within the Democratic party. Oh well, at least she can hang out with Joe Lieberman now.

I too feel like he is an elitist. And I too feel like he has not given me reason to trust him..

I was inclined to do the same as I was a strong Hillary supporter, until McCain chose Palin. I cannot support McCain/Palin ticket. I

One more person responsible for the Dems ill-gotten reputation for ineptitude leaves the ranks of the DNC - That only makes the Dems & the DMC stronger.
Being attracted to McCain just shows the stupidity of this person. Buh-bye and thanks from all us loyal Dems for switching sides so you can start screwing up the McCain/Palin campaign now…

THIS ELECTION IS A REAL DRAMA!!

A MAN WHO WAS BROUGHT UP BY SINGLE, MOM. BELONGING TO A UNDER PRIVILEDGE COMMUNITY OF AMERICA, WHO WITH SHEER HARDWORK STUDIED IN THE BEST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF AMERICA. WHO HAS NORMAL FAMILY LIFE. JUST ONE HOUSE TO LIVE IN. WHO HAS PLANS TO HELP 95 PER CENT AMERICANS. IS TERMED AS ELITIST!!!

ANY WHITE MAN WITH HALF THE QUALIFICATION OF OBAMA WOULD HAVE EASITY STEALED THIS ELECTION AWAY!!!

REAL SHAME AMERICA!!!!!

Good fer her. You can't get a clear answer out of Obama, just false promises with no backing. Where does he expect to get all of the money for his huge government plans? Cutting our military to the size of the Rhode Island National Guard no doubt. (no offense Rhode Island Guardsmen)

Good riddance!

I supported Hillary and her ideals. That is why I will vote for Obama.

who is this person and why is she even relevant?

Obama/Biden 'till 2024

ok so she flies back and forth between her homes in New York and London, yet she calls Obama whow as raised on food stamps elitist? please explain that one to me…

She was never a true Hilary supporter. She just saw what gender Hilary was and gave her support. Now that she is a spoiled brat and cant get what she wants she will just out of spite vote her emotions not her head. Tell her to fly back to London where she came from. As if peopel like her are owed something. Narcisistic nut.

She's only got ONE VOTE like the rest of us. We all have to make a commitment to drive people to the polls who are elderly, or disabled, or shackle our teenagers to us to get them there. We need to GET OUT THE VOTE - and REGISTER as many as we can before OCTOBER 6th.

I have a feeling that there are more former supporters of Hillary endorsing McCain/Palin than anyone cares to admit. So much empathy and admiration for Barack Obama have faded because of the way he and his supporters treated Hillary and Bill Clinton. Now, with the added ingredient of Obama's fawning over them to campaign for him — is just too much. Add to the hurt the way the Democratic National Committee treated Hillary by bringing in Florida and Michigan after the primaries were over, and it gets much easier to abandon the Democrats. The sense of decency did not belong exclusively to their party, and the way things have gone during this election period, it never again will.

What a Cry- Baby. Obama raises Millions online and Fund Raising but because she can't stand Obama sorry i guess because he is Black. (Sorry he has the same issues as Hillary and Smart. So he is not some dummy instead of intelligent.) So go and through a Pitty Party for you McSame and Palin. You all 3 can see Russia when your down.

Finally, one more person thinks with her head, not……..

WooHoo! Good news!

Yes, Obama is VERY elitist and arrogant! - not an ounce of humility in him.

Dems for McCain/Palin!

A billionaire who lives in Europe is calling Barack Obama an elitist? Does she know that he was raised by a single mother and worked — yes, worked — his way the top using his brains. He didn't marry a billionaire banker. Pomona, Columbia, and Harvard Law: We should all applaud his success and his personal progress.

A woman CEO in pearls named Rothschild calls Obama elitist. That is crazy. But since her husband is an international banker, I bet she likes McCain because he helped push through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which directly led to the current banking insurance meltdown because it deregulated these investment banks and insurance companies. I bet she loves McCain for his deregulation stance. Why not show why she supports McCain? It has nothing to do with Hillary. It is all about her money.

The only reason this race keeps bringing up race and sex is because extremists don't want to debate the issues. Hasn't the DNC ever wondered why they don't win the South, the birthplace of the Democratic Party? The southern states are filled with Democatic leadership because the southern states overwhelmingly vote democratic at the state level. The DNC is gone so far left, that the conservative democats are left out and the media wrongly calls us independants. Many don't like Obama beacuse of his vague plans and far left views. So this leaves me and several other "southern democrats" a choice to either stay home or vote republican. Would Hillary have benn a better choice? Maybe, but we'll never know for sure. Truth be told, some democrats do not like/trust Obama and some just want him to lose so that Hillary can run in 2012.

Ah, another smile on Hillary's face. Welcome aboard Lynn, I'm gald to see you had borrowed Hillary's set to do this publicly instead of just vote anonimously for McCain.

Good for her. Obama has never done anything in his 143 days in senate..not one legislature…NOTHING. Oh but wait, he did have time to write 2 memoirs ::rolls eyes::

Good for her. I am beginning to distrust the Democrats as well.

I applaud her independence to support a candidate that she believes in and trusts to lead this country into the future regardless of party afiliation.

I love this. I'm guessing about 99.99% of the Dems posting their opinions on here had never heard of this lady before, then she announces her decision to endorse McCain. Now, they attack her like they've known her for years and years just because her opinion of Obama is similar to what most common sense Americans think. It's interesting to see how quickly they are willing to play the race card in hopes of trying to recover from this lady's devastating body blow. For being an extremely liberal party, the Dems in here are making some very racist comments. Way to show your true character Dems!!

People both republicans and yes democrats will be voting against Obama, and not for McCain. Stupid racist idiots. Obama an elitist, foolish fool, as stupid as Fiorina. Our time will come when the population of minorities will eclipse the white population, then we will go back to the founding documents.

Racist democrats and republicans. Show us your true color.

Her obvious intelligence is getting in the way! She doesn't trust Obama, but apparently trusts liars - as McCain/Palin are proving to be daily!

If Obama was white this race would have been a Land-slide. I'm talking That old dinosaur wouldn't even be in the same area code. We've obviously made great strides in this country, but it's also painfully obvious that many can not and will not see Obama past the color of his skin, No matter how intelligent and capabe he appears or who's on the ticket with him, And not only does this sadden me, I don't think I'll want to ever take part of this "process" ever again. The way Obama has been treated while he's had to suck up and cowtow and still smile has made me wanted to cry on several occasions.

I changed sides for much of the same reasons…and yes, anyone who has very little experience and claims to have better judgement then anyone else is certainly and elitest. That's what turned me off to Obama…plus the Presidential seals…the premature discussions with foreign governments and more……hmm….seems pretty elitist to me.

…and I'll tell you what - although my initial reaction was negative, Sarah Palen certainly is a step UP for women…only the difference is that she is being a real woman and lady instead of trying to be more like her male counterparts in government. Heh, we don't see her wearing pantsuits, do we? Oh well…we'll see Hillary in '12…oh, happy day….

I was a Hillary supporter not as a woman voting for a woman, but as a Democrat who values the Democratic platform, therefore I will be voting for Obama. If she is not backing Obama based on frivolous things, than I say good riddens to her, because she is not the kind of supporter any Democratic needs. How dare she call herself a Democrat, just stay in London and move on. As for the elitist comment, Hello, she splits her time between two continents. She is the epitome of an elitist. She enjoys a since of entitlement that the average American will never, so someone please hand her a reality check and a dictionary fast.

Wow!!!

Some people no matter how they argree with another person in theory will just become reckless voters. To risk our future over spilled milk is sad and some people need to grow up. She is the Joe Liberman of fundraising.

She should know a lot about elitists. She will be taken off of the Democratic National Committee for her action.

I find it absolutely amazing that those who obviously ARE elitists, go around calling Obama an elitist. This woman and her husband are worth nearly $400 Million. They split their time between homes in London and Manhattan. Enough said.

BINGO!!! and the American people are starting to see right through him!!!
IT's ALLLLLLL OVER BABY!!!!!!

She's a CEO of a company and married to an international banker, yet she calls Obama an elitist. Go figure…

A logical desition

She is so disgusting to me…

Obama an elitist?! Look who's talking. Another silly women giving up her rights to the GOP! Take off your shoes and head back to the kitchen!!! Wake up, ladies!!!

I have been paying attention since Eisenhower became president - I was a wee lad but I saw the political games then and see them very well now.

Let's see - Cindy McSame wears a $350,000 outfit to the pre-coronation event called the acceptance speech for the nomination at a convention the siting President wasn't even welcome - oh, right - Ike command center stuff! - and here is a woman who is a part of the most elitist cabal in the world and she is being uppity! I believe she cannot understand normal thinking.

To vote for the continuation of all of the failures of the last 8 years and to endorse the rabid fundamentalism of the almost president out of vindictive spite is deplorable! As a woman in the Democratic party, you truly support the reversal of R vs W? You believe it is our sacred responsibility to annihilate those with whom we do not agree? If so, may God/Goddess help us!

Barak H. Obama does not have the experience to be President. He displayed that inexperience when he picked JB over Hillary for VP. Many Hillary supporters are making the same choice as this lady. That is why the battleground states are swinging toward McCain.

angry ma barack will win with you no doubt you just dont like him because you never going get a husband like him so make sure also hilarry wil lose her senat seat peace barack will dont need your vote to win in november ! peace

Oh wow, imagine that- another bitter female Clinton supporter- "hell hath no fury…."

How odd, a Rothschild calling Obama an elitist. That is like the pot calling the kettle black.

You feel like he is an "elitist"???

I feel like you are a jaded, me-first, country-second, issues-third stupid person who would vote against their own interests because their petty feelings are hurt.

GROW UP.

Hey Mr. Ears…your troops are abandoning you!

The democrats and the DNC and the Obama machine will rue the day they decided to bully and threaten their way into installing Obama as nominee of the party.

This election is the most important in generations.

But TRUE believers in democracy will never allow HE who subverted the democratic process to force his way to victory.

Obama is a demagogue who inspires the youth in the precise way that previous charismatic dictators have.

We do not want blind allegiance and unquestioning loyalty to ANY man.

Anyone changing sides to vote for the liars (can either one of them say more than two sentences without lying?) is cutting off their nose to spite their face. This country will not be around after 4 years of McCain and his sidekick. The economy will be taken over by the Chinese, McCain will have bombed Iran and started a nuclear (not nucular, Sarah) war, and the USA will be no more. So please check FACTCHECK.org and make sure that you really want to make a statement to the DNC by voting for deception and further trampling of the Constitution. These people will say anything and do anything to be elected. Tell me one positive ad McCain has run that didn't mention Obama? I can think of several Obama ads that are about HIS vision. McCain, like Bush, has no vision. But hey, it's a free country. I do wish you'd keep it free and democratic for my grandchildren though.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in the posts that scold Ms. Forester(and anyone else wh "jumps ship") for her lack of allegiance to Hillary, or the Democratic Party, and at the same time, insist that she is not concentrating on the "issues" and that she has just made a "personal decision" not based on the "facts." Which should determine my vote then, belief in a candidate, or Party loyalty. You cn't have it both ways. Posts continue to refer to Obama's "plans" and "policies" but he has not clearly defined how he hopes to accomplish ANY of these. Face it, he's like a non-alcohol beer: Looks like the real thing, but there's really nothing there. The truth is, most of you Party-Loyal Democraps cannot and will not vote outside the beloved Party, no matter what the issues, nor the consequences. If Stalin was alive and running as a Dem, he could count on you. Sad…truly sad.

I am a Black Female.. If Obama looses, I will not vote for Hillary in 2012.. Because of all this Hate. Many Black Americans feel the same way I do.

let the doorknob hit you where the good Lord split you, lady. I guess you didn't pay much attention to Sen Clinton's speech did you? Don't worry, we don't need your kind anyway. Get lost.

Haha, I love it. For those saying, "Another rich person..," if I am not mistaken, a lot of rich people helped to raise $9 for Obama the other day at this $30,000 a ticket banquet given by Streisand.

It's funny how fickle she is.
Having professed her support for Hillary Clinton and having been a Democrate it is clear to see she is someone that is not a team player. She supports who she wants, because she "just likes him or her" and not a party that shares her ideals and her dreams.
She is irresponsible for calling Obama and should be ashamed of her childlike behavior.

It sad to see such a growing number of ignorant racist so called democrats (mainly Hillary supporters) who will now vote for McCain. You still haven't understood that this election is not about you, it is about what is best for this country as a whole.

This country, under republican fascist rule, has dug itself deep into a hole. This is the final chance to allow a democrat to go into the White House and try to fix things before it's too late. If the mortgage crisis, raising oil prices, and financial institution bail outs have not been a wake up call to you, then I'm afraid you won't know what hit you until the mighty USA has the same economic standing as Haiti.

Very wise woman

The paranoia around the Dems is getting quite humorous: conspiracy! McCain is panicking!! The bottom line is that 7 major polls are consistently moving McCain's direction and Obama is in big time trouble folks. So he hops a plane and parties with Hollywood libs at a dinner for $30,000 PER PERSON????????? Whoever is running his day to day campaign needs to flush out their headgear, because while Obama and his lib Hollyweird friends are chowing down on sushi and foie gras, McCain is eating in a family owned diner with American families in Florida. Priceless.

Is this Onion News??? Her Excellency Lynn Forester de Rothschild announced today that Mr Obama is an elitist who does not match her small town USA values.

A CEO of a holding company who splits her time living between London and New York is endorsing McCain? Why is this shocking? Personally I thing she is a very smart lady. She knows that if Obama becomes president, there is a very good chance that she will have to say goodbye to her multi million dollar retirement bonuses and a lucrative severance package. On the other hand, if McSame is in charge, big business will continue as usual.

Obama comes from the Southside of Chicago. Her last name is Rothchild, hse is married to an international banker with the title of 'Sir' and spends her time living between London and New York. And she says Obama is an elitist? What drug is she on??

She trusts McCain/Palin!!! Unbelievable. She could not have possibly been a true Hillary supporter and back John McCain and Sarah Palin. NOTHING they stand for are the same as Hillary Clinton.

By the time the election gets here Mc Cain will be leading by 5 to 10 points. The obama supporters realize Obama is melting away.
You can tell by the racist comments and other excuses.

Its really simple Hillary was the wild card for Obama and he through it away.
