Insanely Wealthy, Titled Aristocrat Thinks Barack Obama Is ‘Elitist’

Remember Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the fantastically wealthy wife of an heir to England's most influential and storied banking dynasty? About a year ago, she was a Hillary Clinton supporter, and had this to say:

"I think if history is our guide, we've had stronger economies, more wealth creation, under Democratic presidents than we have under Republican presidents."

1. Brilliant political move

I wonder what the name Rothschild conjures up in this economic environment?

2. While claiming to be just a middle-class kid from New Jersey.

There's (upper, upper) middle class in Bergen County and then there's (lower, lower) middle class in Essex County, one mutually exclusive from the other.

--On edit -- ding ding ding! Oradell is in Bergen County. I rest my case.

3. and they've all been wondering what the do with her

Yes and they've all been wondering what the do with her since Hillary didn't make the ticket.

I'm sure the original plan was to use this weasel to slam Hillary relentlessly for many made up reasons.

Now all she can do is call Obama an elitist.

Gee, I don't think I can trust her, her name sounds 'french'
