Elitism is an attitude and isn't directly tied to someone's level of wealth. Go look up the definition. It has to do with believing your ideas should hold more weight because you are an intellectually superior member of a higher class. The vast majority of the wealthy people I know aren't even a little bit elitist (as I generally choose not to spend a lot of time around people who are detached from reality in such a way - mostly because they are usually rather boring).
Obama and Michelle fit the textbook definition of elites and Hilary Rosen is probably right in there too. Just another example of liberal hypocrisy (those are common and plentiful). As the public gets to know more about the Romneys as the election spotlight shines, the DNC will have a hard time trying to sell the idea that they are elites (as indeed they are not) to all but the very dim - which is of course their base.
