Showing Original Post only (View all)My message to Chelsea, the Obamas and future presidential kids. [View all]
Look, people don't like phonies and if you try to pretend you're just one of us, it isn't going to work. You didn't ask your dads to run for president or for the life you inherited (or will about to inherit). Acknowledge your good fortune, accept it for what it is and use your stature and connections for the betterment of others as well as yourselves. Thats why we love the Roosevelts and the Kennedys, and, if you follow in their paths, we'll love you too.

Your post is a total non sequitur. I exposed the flimsy division the OP threw up.

You are creating straw men. The OP is about segregating US v. THEM. That's the whole point of the OP
