I can understand disagreeing with policy (I certainly didn't agree with everything, the drone program especially is a massive black mark on the Obama administration) but this guy constantly rails about how happy he is to finally have "class" back in the White House.

The Obamas were nothing if not classy. But there's that subtle, subconscious racism that creeps up again, because for the Obamas to go 8 years scandal free, with two teenage daughters, is quite an achievement. The idea that Melania is the epitome of class while Michelle Obama was not is absolutely preposterous.
Why? I mean outside of the remarkable parenting abilities that they clearly have, anyone who paid attention to the Obama's as people knew that they were doing a pretty good job raising their daughters.

I would have expected nothing less than what they did in that regard.

As for the whole 'class' part, it will be hard for a First Family to come close.
