Jeez, talk about crass and no class.........

one anonymous, snobby, long-time islander is reported to have questioned Michelle Obama's place in the group's hierarchy, referring to the First Lady as just a "ghetto girl", one who did not belong in the august company of the regulars. Needless to say, this quote has sent shock waves around the country.

Shockwaves? Around the country, sure, but the island? I wonder how many on the island feel the same... Ouch, it was like they were launching one over the bow before she arrived.

It doesn't matter where you're from.
If you have no class, and the Obomba elders don't (I won't say anything about the children), you're not likely to pick up any class by hobnobbing with elites.

Me too. I didn’t notice until you said so. I thought those posts all look equally black.

There were MANY who worked on the Underground Rail Road. Most had nothing to gain, but the knowledge that they were working for God. They had MUCH to lose if they got caught.

Those were heroes.
