(43,280 posts)He is speaking what passes for normal upper middle class white idiom

Seems candidates of both parties get into more trouble when they try to be
something they are not. When every word or idea is parsed for the maximum

The Bushes are famous for this, they stand on both sides of many issues if you listen
to different PR or speeches at different times. Be for and against everything and you
are guaranteed that all people hear something they like.
