To me, both of the Obama's were products of the Chicago machine and their outlooks were shaped by this.
Always follow the money
Taxes won't pay for it. They will be borrowing the money for that.

There have been threads for that discussion.
That's ok. I'm discussing it now too
Well. I'm not standing in your way. It's that your side lost those discussions. Just sayin.
Agreed. Building in a forest and those that build next to a cliff by the ocean are some others. Forests will burn and those cliffs will collapse into the ocean.People who build in precarious places should pay for their own excesses. They should have to pay true market rates for building on ocean front properties in high risk areas. No more subsidizing their own foolishness.
Speaking of which, I hope the house I'm planning to rent for a week on the outer banks is still available later this fall. It's practically on the beach, in-ground swimming pool, game room, outdoor pool table. All of that cheaper than a hotel room for the week.

Michelle Obama's opinion, considering her age, is hardly an outlier within the black community. Heck she falls right about in the middle. Melania literally has done porn, has been accused of prostitution by news services, and quite realistically may have been an illegal immigrant. I find it fascinating that the people supporting the party of "family values" can call one First Lady a "b*tch," but can't bring it upon themselves to call the other a "whore."
So im going to step in and give a little parity, at the very least to illustrate the massive hypocrisy.
Ironic statement is ... ironic
Is that not the formulation of all the 'isms' of which we stand accused?
Is it not the fact that if I am white and disagree with BLM's viewpoint, then ipso facto I am racist
Is it not the fact that if I am male and disagree with radical, intersectional feminism then I am sexist and/or misogynistic
What you state is the formulation that the alt-left lives by

That is my impression... that working hard in school to get good grades, a college degree and a high paying job is degraded as a "white thing" (I'll leave out the much harsher epithets) in the black community. Why? Don't they realize that this is self-sabotage of the very community they seek to uplift? Why do so few blacks seek and attain professional degrees (engineering, computer science, law, medicine)? IMO, it is not because they lack capable individuals, it's that their whole community is against them being individually successful "the white way".
"Melania literally has done porn..." - I've seen topless pictures and some where she is nude with another woman. None that I've found are even "full monte". Definitely not porn, not even by 1970's Sear catalog bra picture standards. Lol!
"has been accused of prostitution by news services" - Correction, by A SINGLE BLOGGER who quickly retracted and settled when threatened to be sued into oblivion for maliciously publishing a false story. The thing about prostitutes, even high class ones, is that they "see" a LOT OF MEN. It wouldn't be hard to defend the story, if it were true...
"and quite realistically may have been an illegal immigrant." - "Birther" much? Entertainment visas are ridiculously easy to get, if you're employable. For a working model, a no-brainer. The more this one gets play among the seething leftists, the more the middle sees them as "kooks and crazies". This is right out of Obama's playbook... he could have easily released his birth certificate, but didn't because why get in the way of the opposition metaphorically slitting their own throats amongst swing voters?
"I find it fascinating that the people supporting the party of "family values" can call one First Lady a "b*tch," - I never did. I didn't like Michelle because she didn't like America and plainly said so. I had kids in school when her lunch program got implemented and it was an unmitigated, disconnected from reality, disaster. My kids started taking their lunch and they ate healthy at home. Regardless, a POX on anyone who called Michelle epithets rather than addressing their disagreements with her words or actions as FLOTUS.
"but can't bring it upon themselves to call the other a "whore." " - Because she is not. And, for a liberal, this is the ultimate in faux slut-shaming to bring a woman down to her place simply because she is woman. Shame on you or anyone else who does. Utterly basic misogyny.
Let's get to the heart of the matter. In 8 months, Trump is on the verge of ERASING every major achievement of the 8 year Obama administration...
