Lane3; I don't think she has had typical experiences with regard to class structure, money, mom, apple pie, football, and the rest of the American narrative. Doesn't know her place? She has to fit some "typical" womanly description to be the proper first lady? She had odd and conflicting experiences re fitting it and making it. I don't think she understands what's real for most people. And Hillary does? steve

I don't think she has had typical experiences with regard to class structure, money, mom, apple pie, football, and the rest of the American narrative. She had odd and conflicting experiences re fitting it and making it. I don't think she understands what's real for most people. And Laura Bush did? Sure, if you are a debutante. She is just less provocative because she is happy to be a passive Barbie doll in the tradition of most First Ladies. As soon as someone comes along with a louder voice and identity, everyone has coniption fits. We need to shake off that legacy; it is decades out of date now. We also need to recognize that tens of millions of Americans don't have a narrative of football and apple pie. Maybe that's why the president who lives 100% inside that narrative is so out of touch with the electorate. Just like his dad ended up too.
