Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild - A former Clinton supporter - to endorse McCain

In a stunning move sure to ruffle the DNC's feathers, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former Hillraiser who rounded up over $100,000 for the Hillary Clinton campaign will now be endorsing senator John McCain. Forester de Rothschild, who is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. In an interview with CNN this summer, Lady Forester de Rothshild stated the following as her reason for not shifting her support to Barack Obama: “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him. I feel like he is an elitist."

And Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild knows an elitist when she see's one. she can spot one from her 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, or from her tiny little condo (probably a studio) in New York. She could spot an elitist when she honeymooned at the White House in 2000, and she can spot one now. So she fits right in line with John McCain who has long called Obama an elitist. I mean, seriously, how elitist can this guy get? He's had every advantage in the world; he's a black male, who grew up without a father, was bounced around from Kansas, to Hawaii, to Indonesia in his youth, and was paying off student loans up until a few years ago. ELITIST!

Meanwhile, Obama was endorsed yesterday by 6 Women's Rights Groups: The Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Organization for Women, Business and Professional Women/USA, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Congress of Black Women and the Women's Information Network.

Were you aware of any of that? No? Well, apparently neither were many of the major media outlets in the nation. CNN, who has highlighted the Lady Forester de Rothshild endorsement has as of today, failed to make note of it. Not that the opinions of tens of thousands of women can even come close to the importance of the opinion of Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. If you'd like to know more about Lady Rothschild, have a read of the below article which prefaced an interview she did with Politico.com - you'll clearly see that we need to listen to this women about how much of an elitist Obama is. I pasted the story directly as the link is a little funky and makes your computer want to cry. I'll keep checking CNN Tabloid news to see if they care to mention those 6 women's rights groups.

When 67-year-old British banking scion Sir Evelyn Rothschild first set eyes on 44-year-old Lynn Forester at the 1998 Bilderberg conference—the matchmaker was none other than Henry Kissinger—she was already a woman of major means.A corporate lawyer and telecommunications entrepreneur, the sparkly blond ex-wife of former New York politician Andrew Stein had made more than $100 million from the sale of cleverly acquired wireless broadband licenses. She was also sexy, charming, and dazzlingly well connected. Two years later, after the smitten Sir Evelyn divorced his second wife, Victoria Schott, the mother of his three children, Forester became the third Lady Rothschild.

After marrying in November 2000 at a London synagogue, they honeymooned at the White House, guests of Lynn's good friends Bill and Hillary Clinton.Today the New Jersey-born Lady de Rothschild—the flashiest hostess in London—is mates with Tony and Cherie Blair, among other topflight Britons. She's also mistress of the former John Singer Sargent home in Chelsea and of Ascott House, the 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, and the chief executive of E.L. Rothschild, the holding company that she owns with her third husband to manage investments in the Economist and various enterprises in India. Those include FieldFresh, a startup that will grow and export Indian fruits and vegetables for markets in Europe and Asia, and a soon-to-be-announced retail venture aimed at the exploding Indian middle class.

In July, Sir Evelyn completed the sale of his stake in the centuries-old English branch of the Rothschild banking empire (for a reported $600 million)—which frees up a lot of capital for them to be major players in the Indian business world.
