re: #50 Charleston Chew

To me, there’s nothing about the President that seems at all foreign. As a Midwesterner myself, his demeanor seems very familiar. For xenophobia to be the root, one would first have to see him as foreign, and IMO, to do that one has to imagine an “American” the way people did in the old days when they’d advertise homes as being in an “all-American” neighborhood, meaning white.

He does seem very Middle American to me. But remember, Clinton was supposed to be this big out-of-touch elitist too, and Clinton was a good ol’ boy from freaking Arkansas.
