They have a family income well into six figures, they have two seemingly polite and happy young children and they have a shot at the White House. In effect, they have achived the American Dream. When did achieving the American Dream that McCain talks about so often become "being elitist"? Is it because they're black? True, they said the same thing about Hillary but maybe that's because she's a woman. <BR/>143 years after the abolition of slavery and 88 years after woman got the right to vote, we still have a long way to go. Grow up America! We all know what happens when species can't adapt to change --they face extinction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
