re: #114 ozbloke

Stinks of someone thinking they are better than the masses.

Just my view…
It would have been better not said…

Imagine if Michelle said it, there would be riots in the streets.

Barbara Bush was born rich. It’s not so much that she thinks she’s better than them, but rather that she has no emotional knowledge of the lives of the poor. She does her best to relate, but the lives of the Katrina refugees were so far removed from her experience that she was clueless.

And its worth noting that those Katrina refugees who stayed in Houston mostly found themselves much better off than they had been in New Orleans. To a great degree this is because Houston is a city that actually takes crime prevention seriously.
