Yes, McCain actually said this a few days ago at a campaign event in Florida, and only the AFL-CIO was good enough to notice:

We have made progress toward this vision by expanding the benefits of free commerce, through [the North American Free Trade Agreement], the Central American Free Trade Agreement, and our free trade agreements with Peru and Chile. But the progress has stalled; our longstanding bipartisan commitment to hemispheric prosperity is crumbling. We see this most vividly in Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s opposition to the free trade agreement with Colombia. The failure of Congress to take up and approve this agreement is a reminder why 80 percent of Americans think we are on the wrong track.

What a breathtaking statement. No, it is not lost jobs, the lack of access to healthcare or being mired in a disastrous war that McCain wants to expand. None of those things have people feeling down. People are saying to themselves: "Everything is great! But damn it, we can't pass a trade deal with a repressive government that will export more American jobs, and I am just not satisfied with that!"

Yes, that is how Americans see it. That is why President Bush has an approval rating that rivals scurvy. Because he hasn't gotten the trade deal passed.

Who is the elitist again?

Update: Of course, I forgot, one of McCain's top staffers, Peter Madigan, lobbied McCain in favor of that trade agreement on behalf of the Colombian Government, while working for McCain, so it must be that the whole nation understands the plight of Peter Madigan. He just can't seem to catch a break, and the American electorate feels very bad about that.
