Really Joan, who feels more of sense of entitlement than the white working class? Facts are facts: Working class blacks have consistently supported Ivy-educated candidates of all races, why can't working whites do the same for a black candidate? Are you saying that they would vote for a black candidate from a state school? Give me a break. You dragged out this same rotten defense in 2001, when these same salt of the earth folks booed and jeered Hilary Clinton during the 911 tribute at Madison Square Garden. Just as you very close to calling Senator Clinton a bitch back then, you come very close to calling Obama 'an uppity nigger' today.
