Ok, first of all, I agree with others here that this whole issue of who is or is not working class is silly, so what I'm about to say has no bearing on whether Obama is a "working class hero."
That said, Rose, you write: "before you can be a working class anything you first have to work at something."
Are you suggesting that making one's way through law school (Harvard, no less) and achieving the post of editor of the law review doesn't qualify as "work at something?"
I sincerely hope you're not suggesting that somehow the only labor that qualifies as "work" is physical labor.
Are you?
