So Hillary is slamming Obama as an "elitist." This is, of course, nonsense. But it seems to be working. So here are some possible Obama answers.
He went to Columbia and Harvard. He should ask audiences: "How many of you want your children to have a better life than you? How many of you want your kids to go to a good college? I understand that, because that's what my mother wanted for me." And then he can explain how proud his mother was that he graduated from Columbia and from Harvard Law.
He can also say that he is very proud, as an American, that America has the best colleges and universities in the world, and that he was blessed with the opportunity, as an American, to attend three of them (Occidental College, in LA, Columbia, and Harvard). He could also talk about the fact that his father came to this country so he could attend an American university.
That would turn a negative into a positive.
