15. Thanks for providing evidence for my assertion that this is what most people think.
I can't say I agree, since I was arguing the exact opposite -- that Obama or his handlers / media correspondents are indeed being classist if not indeed advancing an aristocratic concept of a political-professional elite that is above sending their kids to public school where they might encounter "ghetto youth".

What can I say? If I attack you for saying this I'll have 3 different DUers calling me a reactionary leftist and these DUers will say "I'm glad Obama refuses to bend over backwards coddling certain Democrats" with their distasteful poverty concerns and religious customs (not to mention double-parking on Sundays and painting their houses the wrong color and voting for leaders who speak in one or another distasteful lower-class accent, generally being ungrateful for everything "white people" have done to improve public perceptions of their neighborhood by pushing them out.)

Time to build another Golds Gym, people.
