I had no idea what she was talking about. She said 53% of people voted for Obama in the last election...which we did of course. She said we don't consider ourselves some kind of "victims" like Romney said about 47% of Obama voters. Therefore, she said, we are in the 6%. I just laughed that she put that all together so quickly in her head.

You know, say digging ditches, or working in fields or working on the line at one of his father's plants, or....you get the idea. As it is, he's just another privileged asshole.
I offered to take one of those guys on a tour in my first year at University. He declined when I told him to leave his Rolex and cashmere sport coat at home.

(10,103 posts)And yes, I too know what work is. I don't despise this man because of his money, but his attitude. It's disgusting.
