Inner City LIberals vs. Limousine Liberals

Best. Distinction. Ever. Hispanic Pundit writes about the Obama victory and closes by saying this:
I’ve always distinguished between inner city liberalism, which I find appealing on several grounds, and limousine liberalism which I find abhorrent on many grounds. Inner city liberalism is much more sincerely focused on problems of the poor. Concerns about jobs, equal treatment, human dignity and religion all play a role. Limousine liberalism is much more the rich mans religion: environmentalism, utopia, elitism and a general disdain for religion. Though I wouldn’t classify Obama as a complete inner city liberal - he does, after all, have alot of limousine liberalism in him - he is the closest there has ever been in the history of the presidency. So it will be interesting to see how this plays out in his politics and policies. How people view him and treat him.
I'm totally stealing this distinction. Thanks HP! You're also now on my shortlist of bloggers to read.
