The opening line from the Film "The Jerk" resonated in my head when I read this headline:
"Obama says he grew up less privileged than rivals"
Puhleeze. We're not supposed to be a 'class sensitive' country. Of course we are, and it's sustained by the media and politicians.
The old truism still holds true:
Politicians stay close to the "Working Class". It's the way they avoid actually having to belong to it.
