    Obviously there wasn't so much wrong with the largely Republican administrations under which Michelle and Barak grew up that prevented them and their families from living the American Dream, right up to the DNC. Obviously enough opportunity was spared the working man in the "world as it is" that it didn't require saving and restoration to the "world as it should be" by the likes of Barak and Biden. Obviously their lives and professed histories belie their politics and professed mission.

    That paragraph has to rank as some of the flabbiest and most insipid analysis I've ever seen on this site. Republican trolls, even the most blockheaded, are usually capable of far better.
