...since we've had a president born in a log cabin? What is the probable fate of a child born in a modern slum?

So we can't even see it and say it?

I'm the first to defend wealthy Democrats working in the political world -- they believe in democracy, and they give the rest of us a hand up. But to not even be able to point out that the descendents of Joe and Rose Kennedy and (on the other side) descendants of Prescott Bush are winners of the genetic lottery/ Lucky Sperm Club is just kind of dumb because it denies reality.
