Not true. I have friends who send their kids to private school and they are middle class. They also don't take vacations, buy new cars, etc. to be able to afford the school. The public school they would have attended is patrolled by police, has a poor education record, and is constantly being disrupted by gang fights (this is an elementary school). They just chose to put their kids before a lavish lifestyle.

Okay I actually took the six minutes to watch not only the woman's question but also Obama's response. From what I saw, she was saying, "Things are pretty good now for me now, but I'm getting really scared about the future; where's the change we were promised?" and Obama said, "I understand your fears; here's what we've done so far to try to get the country back on track going forward." So now I'm not getting what all the hullabaloo is about; it seemed like a pretty straightforward question and answer. I guess Obama's big mistake was in not vetting the crowd ahead of time so that the toughest question he'd get would be, "How often do you want us to pray for you, Mr. President, since you were sent on a mission from God." In that respect, GWB was MUCH smarter than Obama. Obama is foolish enough to take questions from people who disagree with him.

What I don't get is, we've had 30 years of declining incomes, which are now finally catching up to us and people can't understand why Obama hasn't fixed everything in a year and a half? What is the matter with people? Bush's two unfunded wars would be more than enough for one administration to try to fix, but this is just several decades of bad tax policy coming home to roost and he's being blamed because Congress is trapped by a minority party that would rather see the country go to hell than see the wealthy's taxes go up by two percent?

So, in that respect I think the woman's question was a bit uninformed, but not nearly the big deal it's been made out to be.

She was on Chris Matthews on MSNBC yesterday (you can see the link here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/#39295721) - very well-spoken and yes, she said her concern was the future.

She also said she wanted to make it clear she fully supports the president and will vote for him again.

Those trying to make the midterm election about, "If you are angry or dissatisfied, you must vote GOP or Tea Party" are so, so wrong. There are plenty of angry and dissatisfied people about, but it hardly means they want to embrace obstruction, destruction or hate, and it sure doesn't mean they won't continue to vote again for exactly what they wanted in November 2008.

We need more flavors though. He is too concerned with pleasing non-Americans. I'm sick of that shyt. He has 2 years to change (or pretend to.) He's not gunna get Florida, Virginia, Colorado etc. by appearing to appease religious terrorists. Guy is just ass backwards on some stuff that people in these states care about. He better persuade that IMAM to move that Victory "Community Center." A piece of that plane hit there. They shouldn't build it there.

I agree with you %100. It sure does seem that the man in DC could care less about his fellow Americans. Do you remember when Calderon was berating the state of Arizona about thier law regarding illegals? Seems like the man in DC was on Calderon's side. As far as him changing, im thinking he will pretend to change, just like on the campaign trail when he was pretending that he would make a good President. He didn't fool me, he's not going to fool me in November 2012.

Margaret Carlson I believe hits the nail on the head - Most times it is not what you say, rather how you say it and the manner in which the message is delivered.

That woman should not be permitted to write anything about political history ever again. To wit:

"Empathy helped Clinton beat George H.W. Bush in 1992."

No, you idiot, Ms. Carlson. A recession and Ross Perot siphoning off some of the crazy vote helped Clinton beat GHW Bush in 1992. Clinton didn't get even 50 percent of the vote in 1992. Op-Ed fail.
