Sr. Bush is your Yankee.  Bushy Jr. is a born again Texan who ran out and 
bought a ranch to prove it just before the 2000 elections <g>

Nothing makes Teflon an elitest in the true sense of the word.  Obama has a 
well cultivated accent.  He didn't come by it naturally.  I mean, come on, 
his "parents" (grand and mother) are from Kansas and most of his raising was 
in Hawaii and some in Indonesia.  From there to So. California and then a 
couple of years in New York.  He's spent the majority of his time since in 
Chicago which isn't exactly a Yankee accented haven.  A mere 3 years at 
Harvard only gets you that Yankee accent if you work real hard at acquiring 
it.   However, it is his well practiced poses that are a dead give away that 
he is a wannabee elitest.  One of the current ones is straight out of a 
Kennedy photo op.  He practices in front of a mirror, I'm sure, several of 
the mannerism of JFK and MLK, Jr.

If it weren't so scary that people are buying into it, it would be funny!
