Here’s what John Derbysire on The Corner http://corner.nationalreview.com/ had to say today about the Obamas, and particularly Mrs. Obama’s skewed view of America:

“Most Americans don’t see our country like that, and have a low opinion of people who do. Millions of white — or, as Mrs. Obama writes, “White” — Americans would love to have had the breaks Mrs. Obama had, and resent the fact that they didn’t have them because they don’t belong to a designated victim group. They resent the ease with which two beneficiaries of those breaks can parlay their victim status into two six-digit salaries and a seven-digit house, without ever doing any kind of work that adds to the nation’s wealth or security. And they especially resent that people who have attained those heights of success, with the assistance of those breaks, seem to nurse nothing but hostile emotions towards the country that made it possible for them.”

Back in the 80's, my husband was overlooked for a promotion that SHOULD have been his hands down, but was instead given to a Black man simply because he was black, and it was an opportunity for upper management to promote a black into a management position--for affirmative action quotas, as this was a DOD contractor under pressure to promote "other than whites" into management positions. Needless to say, it shocked my husband, but it completely shocked the Black appointee as well.

Imagine how many other times this has gone on across the country, and continues to do so.
