On the other hand, does anybody remember when George I stopped in a super market on a trip somewhere and was amazed at the bar code reading technology? It was several years old at the time, but the Bush family never had to do their own shopping. As I recall, he was also amazed at the high prices -- another thing he had never personally seen. I kinda doubt that George W and Jeb do a lot of shopping either. Or Kerry for that matter.
This whole thing about who is the "common man" is silly. They're all rich. Why should any of them appologize for that. Given the choice of being very comfortable or not, I know which I'd choose. I don't know too much about Cheney so I'll leave him out of it, but at least Edwards started out from humble roots and is a self made man.
What does that have to do with what kind of leader he'll make? Probably nothing.
And if President and Mrs. "W" want to go to Dairy Queen for their anniversary, I think that's wonderful.
