Did he really just say that?

On the Today show, Matt Lauer just referred to those who turned out for Tim Russert's funeral yesterday as "the power elite."

So if this group of politicians and so-called journalists constitute "the power elite", will they PLEASE stop slurring Barack Obama as "an elitist"? Unless, of course, they mean it as "that uppity Negro who wants admission to our club.

Come to think of it, that's probably waht they DO mean.
