| Michelle Obama can try to court the middle class all she wants. But it's painfully obvious that two Harvard lawyers, one a US senator and one a hospital administrator, that combined for a cool mil every year since 05, are not typical middle class folk. Maybe she thinks the connection would come naturally because she's black (working a negative stereotype to her favor).
Empathy, OK. Understanding certainly. But the whole, "I'm here with you," line is a bit much.
Certainly the McCains and Clintons wouldn't try it. Wonder why Michelle is. |
