It's never obvious, lol. wyldwolf May 2014 #42

Especially with the Democrat-haters who habitually post on DU baldguy May 2014 #59

Given some of the discussion downthread, sadly not obvious. I had hopes, though... moriah May 2014 #82

Guess you don't like our current President much either, and will devalue his daughters' .... moriah May 2014 #35

It's always fun to assume ain't it. L0oniX May 2014 #65

Well, you said you didn't like wealthy people... or is it only certain wealthy people? moriah May 2014 #68

So you relate to rich people. Good for you. L0oniX May 2014 #70

I relate to intelligent people. I was on free lunches, myself. moriah May 2014 #76

Seems to me many rich people have sold us down the river. I guess it's just me that thinks so huh. L0oniX May 2014 #79

No. You're not the only one. Enthusiast May 2014 #115

Indeed ...what people focus on says much about them. L0oniX May 2014 #31

this is a Democratic Board and you are surprised there are things posted about a Former Dem Pres ? JI7 May 2014 #47

What is surprising is the ignorance of what rich people are doing to our country. L0oniX May 2014 #48

so why don't you discuss those things ? instead you are in a thread like this which could easily JI7 May 2014 #50

I don't know if it's "ignorance." I just think there are better targets for our animus nomorenomore08 May 2014 #87

If she was going to pursue politics, she'd have gotten a law degree. She didn't. Gah. moriah May 2014 #28

I don't know - she could have majored in Public Policy which would suit her well in politics. AAO May 2014 #107

My daughter majored in Public Policy when she was in school in the States DFW May 2014 #109

So Public Policy is no good for politics? Do we really need more lawyers? AAO May 2014 #127

I wish I knew DFW May 2014 #129

She sounds like a wonderful person, DFW. n/t AAO May 2014 #130

She is a very impressive individual with one caveat DFW May 2014 #131

I doubt we will ever see anyone like FDR ever again. L0oniX May 2014 #51

And the same thing can't be done to you? Shankapotomus May 2014 #56

"I hate the rich just because they are rich" Where'd that come from? L0oniX May 2014 #64

If you feel you are being Shankapotomus May 2014 #67

Misreading and reading into can be fun. L0oniX May 2014 #69

Is there no gray area between fawning and sheer venom? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #89

Not to mention that Chelsea was NOT born into wealth DFW May 2014 #110

True. I guess they didn't get rich till later on, really. n/t nomorenomore08 May 2014 #119
